Wallet/ Mini Purse

A friend of mine was given as a gift an amazing hand made wallet. I saw hers and had to try and make one for myself. Not really knowing what I was doing I put this together.

After making my wallet I learned a couple things: first, it was way to floppy to be a wallet and second it was way to big to be a wallet, so my quick thinking.... ( idea by aaron) I put a strap on it, and now it is a lovely mini purse.

Love it

Scrappy Pouch

Basically, when I sew I constantly have loose string and scraps dangling from my clothes. I knew there had to be a better way. I came up with something to help.

I found a great tutorial over at Skip to my Lou for a drawstring bag. I modified the pattern to make a Scrappy Pouch. The pouch can easily hang on my machine and the added boning makes it perfect for dropping scraps into.

My modifications:

Measurements 7" x 22"

Added boning in place of the string and stitched it closed on both sides

Added two Velcro close straps
