Little Wallets

All right! My mom accepted the sew day invite and we stitched to our hearts content! We made Little Wallets by Valori Wells Designs. It was so much fun to put these little cuties together.

The directions on the card said to trace the patterns to make templates, so that's what I did. I used card stock for the template material.

The card stock makes a nice firm edge to trace around. We needed 2 of each pattern template.

My mom chose a beautiful holiday fabric, while I chose a pretty rose patterned fabric.

Here is an image of the layout before we sew it all together. We were instructed to sew the pockets and then turn and press them to get a nice edge in the wallet.

This is the Little Wallet after everything is sewn together!

My mom had decided to use a decorative stitch so I wanted to also. Her stitch mimicked the pine tree bristle really well. I used the same principle in choosing my decorative stitch. I used a rounded leaf.

I'm not quite sure what I will sew up next, but I do have my bunny pattern cut out for a stuffed bunny. Time has been holding me back on that project. I'm still trying to go through stuff in the house to donate it. November 30th will come up quickly now, so I want to focus on getting that done. I'm hoping to make a good dent at the very least. :) Maybe I can make time for a small sewing project. :D

Until next week...
