Last week was quite productive self sewing for me. I made 2 travel wallet for my self and my friend in Japan, Sari who owns this cute shop selling Japanese Kanzashi in Etsy .
She loved this tree print fabric which I used to make this passport cover.
I only have one fat quarter which is just enough to make this wallet. It's amazing what 2 fat quarter can do, right?
For my self, I made this wallet using Suzuko Koseki fabrics I got from my last year's trip to Japan Quilt Festival
I really love the quilted version of this. I used stiff fleece batting which I got from Tina of the Square Inch a few months ago. I added the thin fusible interfacing to give a little stiffness for the exterior fabric. While on the interior, I used as per the pattern instructions. You can get the pattern HERE.
For the interior, I added the flap. This is a fab idea from Maria when she did the testing for me. It's very useful, especially if you're going to use it for everyday wallet. Very handy to use it as a smartphone wallet too.
I'm so excited to take this wallet. I hope I get to meet Suzuko Koseki again this week at the quilt show!!
So, who will there in Tokyo Dome this week?
I better get going now. It's a long trip from North East India to Tokyo but I am all excited to see my friends, the dreamy quilts and of course the fabric shops --err...shopping!
Until then,
Happy Sewing
