I was hoping to have the pattern to play with on the March Break, but I was a dummy and had it shipped to my work address instead of my home address so I didn't get it until yesterday. So, last night I ran home from work and made a new wallet.
I made two BIG mistakes. The first one being I used fabric two fat quarters that I've been saving for a while now that I really liked. When will I learn???? When making something for the first time I should NEVER EVER EVER use fabric that I can't replace. Secondly, I didn't have any white velcro! What?!?!?!? I seem to remember thowing out a ball of tangled up velcro not long ago thinking that I had more. I didn't. What I did have was some terrible black VERY sticky velcro. I immediately decided to make the wallet with the sticky black velcro and call this a "prototype".
Well, the velco completely gummed up my machine. I finally cleaned up that mess but by now I knew this wallet would never be usable so I just kind of rushed through it, not being extra careful.
Here's the inside. I really botched that up. There isn't even enough room to put my cards in slots on the right side.
I've already cut out fabric for a second wallet and I plan to go get velcro today at lunch so I can work on it tonight.
I'm still so mad that I used those really pretty fat quarters!!! Live and learn.

it's so pretty. I have the pattern too. So far - I've made two and still am having trouble with the corners. It's a great pattern - I can't wait to get it right. Oh and I did the same thing with the sticky velco - my machine hated me for it!
That fabric is really pretty! I was thinking about trying out that pattern. Can't wait to see your next one!
The fabric is really cute. Bummer! The wallet is looking great though. You'll get it, I know you will! Can't wait to see your next one!
It's terribly cute though!!
Fabulous prototype. What a total bummer that your cards won't fit. Could you use those slots for business cards? That fabric is pretty spiffy :)
bummer! because both the wallet and fabric are tres chic!
i can't wait to see the finished one!
i love that wallet!
That fabric is so lovely! I can't wait to see your next version of this wallet :)
