When you wish upon a star

I've had this Japanese Disney print for a while, intending to make it into a new clutch for DD. Problem was, it's cotton/linen and I didn't want to use interfacing to stiffen it. DD suggested using the thick canvas I have. One whole bale of it (read, expensive shipping). It's a nice ivory colour with flecks of black and brown. Adds to its character, I think.

DD requested for a pocket and I thought I'd add a zippered one for a change. I didn't put the pocket behind 'cos this clutch is meant for putting papers and I didn't want the papers to be warped with the contents of the pocket so the pocket is on top of the stack, under the flap.

There's Alice in Wonderland, Dumbo, Thinkbell and Bambi and Thumper.

Nice!

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!
