Sew Sweet: Confectionary and Crafts: Wallets and other fun things.

I decided the other day that I wanted a new wallet, a larger wallet, one that would hold receipts, coupons, lists.. and whatever else I might decide to throw into it. I looked around for one I liked and saw several.. then I had the thought.. "Hey! I can make this!" So I did!

This began my 3 day journey into researching patterns and tutorials. Several trips to find fabric that might co-ordinate with the stash I had hiding in the garage. (Yes, I must hide my fabric or the mini crafters will start... crafting with it). Finally, pattern in hand, tutorials in view.. I decided to jump in. (I should mention that all of this has also been occuring while I am struggling to give up pop/soda .. that may or may not have made this more of a battle than it should have been).

The wallet came together easily enough. The card holders, they're not as spiffy as I had wished.. I am planning a new attack later.. I will get something I like and I will master it. MASTER IT! But until then (and since I don't actually have any business cards yet) these will do.

Now I'm sure you're tired of my rambling so we'll get to the good parts, the pictures!
