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!

Paris Theme Travel Wallet

Hello,

The last couple of weeks I've been quite productive. I guess the Konmari mission brings a good energy! 

Today I finished this yellow Paris Travel Wallet which has been in my WIP bin for quite a while. 

Working with directional fabric is tricky sometimes. This yellow Japan linen has Eiffel Tower and bag print all over but they are not in the same direction. I didn't pay attention when I cut and turned out the Eiffel Tower was upside down. So I decided to cut another one and will think of way to use the previous one. 

Since I finished tidying up my fabric stash, now searching for fabric combo is much easier. For this particular wallet, I decided to use this pretty small roses print in butterscotch yellow from sevenberry for the card slot. I had the fabric for quite a white and I am so glad to finally able to use it!

This travel wallet is very handy since it can hold up to 6 cards, 3 passports, boarding passes, pen holder, zipper pocket for your cash and 2 slip pockets to keep your documents.

It closes with snap button and the polka dots binding to make the passport holder sturdy. 

I am happy with the result! Sometimes, it's worth it to do that extra works to create beautiful things. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Until then,

Happy Sewing
