OOAK

This might well be the only one. I had such a hard time sewing the PU leather snap onto the Japanese laminate. Surely there must be an easier way to attach it but I've yet to figure out. Maybe it'll be easier with the canvas laminate. I'll try that soon.

Fourteen pockets here made out of dark chocolate cotton-linen blend and bound with oatmeal of the same material. I like how the colours go together for a cheery and functional card wallet.

Have a blessed day!

Not exactly the first one

It's kind of strange, actually, when I just realised that this is probably only the second wallet I've made. Odd. You'd have thought after more than two years of this blog and making all sorts of stuff that I'd have made some wallets? I can only recall one other at the moment, the red leaf linen one.

Oh well.

I think I'll make more of these. Rather challenging and lots of room for improvement though I like this one lots. It has 6 card slots on one side and a zippered compartment in the middle. One large slot on each side of the zipper and everything kept neat and tidy with this metal clasp. I don't know what sort of clasp this is. Pretty and functional.

Have a blessed evening!

ps: don't mind the shine. I can't seem to take nice pics at night but after struggling with this for so long and finally completing it, in between Spiral Knights sessions, LOL!

Wristlet vs wallet

I started carrying wrislets few years back, seeing that they're so convenient as they can hold lots of stuff. I have one that has 3 card slots and a divider that could take in 20+ cards and receipts and cash and even a pen and a stirer. If you're a mum, you'll be carrying lots of stuff that your kids pick up / make, ya? However, if you're the type that still prefers a wallet....

Made this bi-fold wallet totally out of linen, printed and plain. The printed one is much smoother than the plain one which has more texture. There are 6 card slots on one side which can take 2-3 cards per slot. These are a snug fit so your cards won't fall out. On the other side, there is a zippered compartment for coins or other small items like stamps, as well as 2 larger slots for notes or vouchers or receipts. I attached a metal house zipper pull to the metal zip. Fully lined and interfaced.

Have a blessed day!
