You've Waited All Weekend...

I can finally show you what I've been working on. These are my first set of wallets. I'm having so much fun with these that I have to remind myself I actually have other Christmas gifts I need to make, too! They're like chocolates! Delicious!

This one is fully completed, while the others are waiting for me to assemble the

inside components...and the Mary Engelbreit one is waiting for its hardware to

 arrive. I'm using a turn lock on that one instead of magnetic closures like these.

The interior features two sets of credit card holders, two pockets, three

compartments and a zippered pocket. I have a few on my gift list, but

I know that I'll be offering these in my Etsy shop after the holidays.

I can already see that I'm going to be cutting into some of the fabrics

I had previously considered "permanent stash", which is a great thing!

If you sew and would like to try your hand at making your own, the

pattern is the brainchild of Janelle MacKay, the creative mind behind

Emmaline Sewing Patterns and Purse Supplies. 

(The name above is a link.) 

This particular piece is called the "Necessary Clutch Wallet". 

(also a link.)

Don't fret. If you don't sew, I'm going to making a LOT of them to list

and sell. I'm sure I'll choose a fabric choice that you're going to want.
