Last few days I've been pretty busy trying to make my own pattern for a concertina wallet. I finally managed to do it. This is my second design. The first was for a pencil bag for my daughter who is studying Textile and Fashion Design at Uni. I'll post pictures of that one later.
It measures 9' x 5.5" x 1.5" and is plenty big enough for money, keys and a cell phone. Possibly some make-up too.

It was great fun and a challenge making this concertina wallet. I had wanted to make a tutorial but got stuck halfway through due to alterations I had to make but I will keep trying to write one and hopefully will have a freebie tutorial in the future. I wish that part was a easy as the sewing.
