A few wallets

 Hello,

Last week, I was pretty productive. I made a couple of wallets for orders and also finished 2 wallets from my WIP bucket! It feels good to be able to finish a few from the WIP list. 

This pink strawberry wallet is one of my best sellers! There's a Blue and Red one too in the shop. I love making this Nuno Small Wallet and is still my fave wallet to use for everyday, and I made one for my son too!

I love this wonderland fabric from Rifle Paper Co. Well, I love all their fabrics and purchased a few fabrics before the pandemic,  but now it's too expensive to buy because the shipping charge is pretty high. Anyway, I recorded the video when I was making this Wonderland wallet. I am still editing it now and hopefully will be able to share it soon! Pattern available HERE.

When making a wallet, choosing the fabric combo always takes a long time for me. Sometimes, I even end up using a different combo than what I initially picked. 

(I had fun making the BTS video below!) 

The second WIP I finished was this Red Floral Wallet. The fabric is from Sevenberry and I love the tiny floral print. This time, I used metal zipper and I love how this turned out. Also for the zipper end, I used the metal zipper end cap. I kinda love it although putting the tiny screw on the cap was a bit hard for me! I need to get the small screw driver!

Earlier this week, I went to the Post Office with Meenakshi, from Rustic Origin. We thought we'll check the latest update regarding sending parcel via India Post. It was totally waste of time because the person in charge in the main Guwahati PO were not interested or not willing to help.  So we deciced to go hang out for a bit at the Starbucks at the Brahmaputra Heritage Center. It's good we decided to go there because the view is so good. I think during sunset would be lovely!

After chilling out in Starbucks we went back to the PO and I still could not send my parcels. I decided to go the the University PO near my house, instead. The lady at the PO is very nice and seems to be well informed, and very helpful. Finally all my packages were on their way.

This week, I will catching up on my Quilting Bee block. I have 2 blocks to finish! Wish me luck! 

Until next time,

Happy Sewing

What is your favorite wallet?

Hi there,

It's already September and the festival season is started here in India. And also exam season for the sons. The elder one will have Trinity piano exam at the last week of this month. I hope can prepare well, since his midterm exam also will start from tomorrow. 

The sheep double zip wallet

Sewing wise, I finished 2 wallets this week!  One is the double zip wallet from Noodlehead's book the Handmade Style. It's been on my list for quite a while. It was quick and fun sewing. 

I'm quite minimalist when it comes to wallet. I normally carry 2 cards and a few business cards. The double zip wallet has 6 card slots, 1 slip pocket and 2 zipper compartments which can be used to carry your phone!

I really liked the flap with magnetic snap that keep the 2 zipper compartments together. Here I used a gingham black and white fabric to contrast the cute sheep print that I got from my trip to Japan earlier this year. 

Slim and Minimalist Wallet

The second wallet is the bifold slim wallet. This is my own design/pattern. I found the hexagon print fabric in my stash and I know I am going to make a wallet with it! I used the lacy zipper too!! I think I need to get more of the lacy zippers, I really love it!!

Hexagon Bifold Wallet

This bifold wallet can also hold 6 cards, has 1 zipper pocket and 2 slip pockets. It closes with flap and snap button. I made a pointed flap this time to match the hexagon print.

I finished the wallet with hand sewn binding as always. I decided to stripe bias binding and I love how this wallet turned out! 

What is your fave wallet to carry?

Thank you for stopping by!
