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.

Kimono Wristlet Wallet

I've having a lot of fun experimenting with leatherette. I made wristlet wallets in all fabrics few months ago, you can see them here and here. And this time, I added a vinyl a.k.a faux leather. Here I am using Kimono fabric from Japan trip last year! The print is so pretty. 

Kimono Wristlet

I'm quite comfortable to sew vinyl now, though I am still looking for teflon or roller foot for my Jack Machine. In the meantime, I rub a little of Vaseline  on the leather and voila, it glides smoothly. I read somewhere I can use machine oil, but I don't like the smell.

I added 2 rivets here because it's too thick and I don't have rivets with longer post. And I love it. It looks unique! 
This pink wristlet can hold up to 6 cards, has 2 compartments and 1 zipper pocket!  Meanwhile, if you want to snatch this, it's available in my Etsy Shop (it's free worldwide shipping).

I'll be making more as time permits! My son's annual exam and  board exam are starting next week, please  wish us luck! 

Have a nice day!

Monochrome Wristlet Clucth

Hello,

The weather is getting cooler and it's perfect weather to try new stuff. I've been working steadily to freshen up my shop with more products. I made a few pretty floral wallets and also new passport covers . More stuff with new prints are coming up soon!

Last week I made this  monochrome wristlet clutch. I got the plaid fabric from my trip to Shillong a few weeks ago. 

While working on this clutch, I googled about plaid, tartan and check fabrics! I was just curious and right enough, plaid and tartan is different in the sense that tartan is the design and plaid is the garment. At least originally that was the meaning.

Interior Zippered Pocket

But in some discussion, people agreed that plaid is the North America  term for tartan.  And tartan was supposed to be colorful. So I am wondering what should I call this black and white one? 

Anyway, I am very pleased with this wristlet and the size is just perfect for evening bag.  It has interior zipper pocket too,  very useful to keep your important stuff. You can find the Free pattern HERE.

What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by,

Have a nice day,

~ Elvira~
