I'd bought some of this fabric about 4 years ago and couldn't get hold of any more. The last thing I made was a wallet and makeup bag set that you can see on my blog header. Luckily my daughter found some again and bought me four meters.
My wallet still isn't perfect so I guess I'll just have to keep making more till I'm happy with it LOLL.
The magnetic button was too far down so it was tough sewing around it as you can see on the inner row of stitching.
I missed those little threads when I was snipping. Why is it they only show up on photos LOL.
On this wallet I added fabric zipper tabs to reduce the bulk when sewing into the sides.
See what I mean about the magnetic button being too far down. Of course if you use the twist lock like in the pattern you won't have this problem.
Ok that's enough wallets for now. I need to make 5 bags. Luckily they're not needed all at the same time.
Happy Sewing to you all.

I am convinced you never sleep!! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful wallet.
Thanks for the tip of using tabs on the zipper part to make it easier to sew....great idea!! :-)

ReplyDeletecongrats
Thanks Anastasia. Could you please send me your email so I can reply to you personally in future. Thanks.
DeleteThis one is my favorite. It is so feminine. You were really lucky to get more of this fabric.
ReplyDeleteMaria it's so pretty in pink! I see you got the zipper on the correct side this time, lol!!! Of course I was beginning to think that maybe you were left handed and it was easier for you to have the zipper on the other side. That certainly is something to think about when making a wallet for someone that you know is left handed. I have a friend who is left handed and if I make her something with a zipper, I think I will put it opposite of how I usually sew it.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely lovely - it would seem that the quilting fabric, with the layers and interfacing etc. - is just perfect for this project!
ReplyDeleteMaria,
ReplyDeleteit is GEORGEOUS! :O)))

ReplyDeleteIndeed an amazing job you did. I was wondered when I found the title of your post at the time of looking for grabbing design and price ideas about wallet chain. Aha, really funny and excited too finding me into your clutch wallet DIY project. Love it.
