| Mini Keychain Wallets |
Hello,
Last month I made these small keychain wallets! They are so much fun to make and are my preferred mood booster project. The fabrics are all from my stash! These wallets are handy to keep small things like cards, cash, coins, lipstick, gum, etc.
I love to keep small wallets like these handy for gifting. Sometimes my SIL or my MIL needs small gifts for their friends too.

I used the Twinnie Pouch pattern to make these wallets and also made a workflow video for it. This is a very easy and quick project to sew. You can check the full video tutorial HERE but if you need a written tutorial, it's available on my website.
Speaking about patterns, I recently increased the price for the patterns on my ETSY SHOP only. I was actually reluctant to do it, but then the cost of running a small business on Etsy is also increasing. There were some changes for Etsy sellers in India, and now it is mandatory to use Etsy Payment. That means, all the money goes to Etsy first and Etsy will send us the balance after deducting all the fees. It was a bit confusing in the first few days and one thing I miss is my daily Paypal deposit!

Besides that, I was also busy revamping my website. The new Ecwid instant site is perfect. Nowadays, I feel a bit apprehensive to learn new things. But I never thought that converting to the new site was so easy! I love a website that is simple to operate, be it on a desktop or on a mobile app.
Now, for the last couple of months, I have also been using Shopify, especially for my patterns. The main reason is to connect the shop to my YouTube channel. Setting up Shopify is a bit of a challenge for me. I rant ehm talk about it HERE. But that's of course from my point of view.
Well, having your own website is not as glamorous as it looks, especially if you are running your small business solo! For now, I like it the way it is. I tried to make more ready-to-ship wallets and pouches in between orders.
