Wallets ~ (some for sale)

I've seen these clutches all over the internet and I love them. I've been wanting to make some for quite awhile. So this summer I finally got some made. The first one (at top) I made for my sister for her birthday.  This second one (above) I made for myself. I love these fabric that I found at one of our local scrapbook stores, Scrapbooks, Etc.

The next two clutches are available to purchase. They are $15 each (plus shipping, if necessary).  They each have a zipper pocket inside as well as 4 card pockets and they each have a zipper closure.  They measure 8.5" wide x 5" high. 

This last one (below on left) is for my daughter's best friend, for her birthday. She saw my daughter's wallet that I made for her birthday last year and fell in love with it and wanted one for herself, so my daughter asked me to make her one for her birthday.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the two that are available to purchase please contact me: chelscraps@yahoo.com.

A homemade wallet!

I made this homemade wallet for my oldest daughter for Christmas. She just got her permit about a month ago so now she decided that she needed a wallet to put it in. So she asked for one for Christmas and I thought it would be neat to try my hand at making one.



Might I say it was pretty difficult! This project is definately not for a beginner seamstress! I got the pattern & tutorial here, but the instructions were difficult to follow, so I'm not sure I would follow them again anyway. I love the pattern though! I changed it a tad from this pattern though. I rounded the edges on my tab & I used a magnetic snap instead of velcro.

On the left is the zippered coin pocket with a large bill pocket behind it. On the right are 6 card pockets & one large pocket behind them. Another thought is that you'll need a heavy duty needle for this project. It was pretty difficult to go through several layers & my machine didn't like that much!


I used a magnetic snap for the closure...LOVE them!!! I wasn't sure if my daughter would like the wallet, but I thought there might be a chance since it has lots of fun prints & bright colors, which she does love. She absolutely loves it!


I have several other projects to share with you that I made for Christmas or other projects. So stay tuned!
