Two of a Kind Trifold Wallet

 Finally I finished these 2  trifold wallets. I started cutting the fabrics around December then I was distracted to do something else. It happened all the time! 

This is the first time I used the twist lock. I had it for a long time (Thanks Namrata!! <3 ) and finally tried it and I loved how these 2 turned out. 

The fabrics I used for the exterior is European Linen from the Linen Club shop here in my town. They are quite expensive and never offer discount LOL. But it's worth it, right? 

Card Slots, Slip Pockets, Zipper Pockets

The fun part is deciding what color use for the interior. Something to tone down the brightness. On one wallet, use this fun triangle print, which I think I got from Happy Quilt in Seoul and soft green stripes. On the other one, I used cheerful yellow flower print cotton and green polkadots. 

This trifold wallet has 12 card slots (the pattern has 16 card slots variety too), 2 slip pockets and 2 zipper pockets. The exterior zipper is invisible style but it's very easy to sew it! In fact, that's my fave part. 

On Etsy 

Both of them now available in my Etsy Shop and Webshop (for Indian buyers). If you want to make the wallet, you can always get the pattern in my Pattern Shop or just click the one below.

Personalized Family Passport Wallet

"Denim is a love that never fades - Elio Fiorucci"

Denim Travel Wallet

Well, I guess the quote is right! I always love working with denim and collected quite a few of blue and black denim from my local fabric shop. I've been meaning to make Denim Passport Holder and finally I did it. 

I thought it will be difficult to hand stitch the binding, but surprisingly it was not the case. I used a light denim of course. I have a thicker one which I use to make this Cross Body Bag and this tote bag.

Choosing the combo fabrics took a bit of time since denim will look good with anything! I decided to use the linen London theme fabric and red lining. Red is always a good idea! 

London Denim Passport Wallet

At the same time I was working on a custom order of the same style of passport holder. The one with passport slots and card holder. She wanted to gift the wallet and wanted me to add personalization. Nowadays personalization using leather or faux leather is popular but personally I prefer hand embroidered one. 

I used running stitch since the label is pretty small. I printed the names from my computer including the border lines and later trace it on linen.  It's about 3/4 inch wide and just perfect to add to the passport slot.

The buyer messaged me that she loved it and that made my day!! 

If you'd like a personalized wallet with hand embroidered letters, simply go to my Etsy Shop. I'd be happy to assist you!

By the way, Insha Allah, I will be away for holiday in the first week of July,  however the shop will remain open but I will process the orders after I come back.

Thank your from dropping by! 

Have a nice day!

Zip around Family Passport Wallet

Hello,

Many people asked me on Etsy if I make zip around wallet and finally I now I can give the option. Introducing the new zip around family passport wallet!

Installing all around zipper is quite tricky, because the wallet is interfaced with heavy interfacing plus batting.  So I made several changes on the interfacing. I used heavy interfacing only on the main lining and using woven interfacing on the main exterior and used the same thin fleece batting for the padding. It worked out beautifully.

I will take photos and maybe videos when I make the next wallet and write a tutorial for it in my next post.  Make sure you subscribe to my blog so you won't miss the post.

This Paris family passport wallet is now available on Etsy You can choose for 4 , 6 or 8 passports. It's very handy and keep everything securely inside.

I also made the above travel wallet ( a custom order) with zip around closure. I will make more of this for stock (and I need to sew up those stash!) . The green London print fabric is finished now but I have the peach one in case you want the same print.

You can buy the Family Passport Wallet Pattern HERE , ETSY or in my WEBSHOP

Thank you for stopping by,

 Have a nice day!

What is your favorite fabric?

Mine is cotton but whenever I go to fabric shop, I literally buying all kind of fabrics. I love everything!

Like this Rayon fabric. The Indigo color with splash of rustic and contract orange red was so unique. 

Indigo Red Shibori Print Rayon

When I see fabric, I will have a lot of ideas in my head , should I make a skirt, a dress, tunic or quilt or bag.

The texture is so soft and the shibori print is so pretty. I will usually parade it in front of my sons and both of them will roll their eyes "Mama, please that's enough" sort of expression. 

and here is another one

Dual Color Rayon

This is such gorgeous fabric. The patchwork-y style and the black/dark grey has the look of denim. 

What will you make with this fabric? 

Until then,

Happy Weekends
