It ended up being quite a bit harder to complete this than I expected and in contrast to the last wallet that I made there was A LOT of unpicking and re-sewing.
I still think that the fabric was slightly too thick , so some of the hems are thicker and less tidy than I would have liked, but I am pleased with how the finished article finally turned out. I am especially proud of the fact that I managed to alter the pattern and add a notes pocket to the wallet.
Have a look and see what you think...
Don't you think it will look really cool in combination with this bag?

Hello - nice you see you again today :)
ReplyDeleteThe wallet looks awesome, and I think you very clever for working out how to put in a notes pocket - ask me the next time we catch up about reducing bulk on heavy seems, I have a couple of tricks you might not know of. I love the ticking stripe bag also - very chic!!
Very smart! I love the floral lining inside the stripey fabric for contrast too.
ReplyDeleteThey look terrific, what a great combination. I'd love a matching wallet for a favourite handbag. x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a cool combination - the wallet looks like it would have been very tricky to make, you did a great job with it! Really like the fabric choice too :D
