Mr. SP’s mom was a fabulous seamstress and quilter. One Sunday I spent a little time going through her many unfinished projects and ran across a pattern for Lazy Girl Designs Wonder Wallet. The directions were simple and I knew I could use some of my fabric scraps to make one without having to buy a thing. Many moons ago I made a purse with these two fabrics. I found the button in Granny’s sewing box.
A more experience seamstress would have sewn the button on in a way that would not show the stitches on the velcro.
So many pockets!
There’s even a coin area.
It’s the perfect size to carry when you don’t need a big purse or wallet. It would also be perfect to keep in a gym bag or a tennis bag. I have a few friends with birthdays coming up, a wallet would make a good gift idea.
The process of making something like this is the fun part for me. I get great pleasure in turning scraps of fabric into something fun and useful.
These small wallets are so in vogue right now. Many ladies are tired of battling a big purse when they go out shopping and all they really need to shop is a credit/debit card and a little cash. Great project!

ReplyDeleteVery cute, and I know what you mean about making something out of scraps...There is just something wonderful out of finding some wonderful use for what would have otherwise been thrown away.
