Project Wallet Details

It is a bit over 10 inches wide open and 5. 5 inches closed up.
Has 6 pockets.
I cut my rose fab and batting, quilted it.
Next to the lining added pockets of folded over fabrics to fit which I added the fancy stitch to on my older Singer.
Stitched the single line to create small pockets on the left.
Layered all, right sides facing, adding the loop for button, sewed up , turned.
Pressed and stitched around edges to close turning opening.
Sewed a long line down middle to help it fold plus create the large pockets on right.

Our dear Pat wanted to see stuff in it...;-)

Here is some stuff I will put in it, still not full.
Floss, linen square, needle carrier , small scissors.

Okay here it is with the stuff inside. I left the black floss out so you can see the size of that pocket. I stuck a needle through on right side pocket.

By the way the little basket is 5.5 square.
Also Susan took the TUT off her blog.
You can go there and read about that.

  1. Thanks, Lola.......love your little wallet creation. You are very clever!!! The painting on that needle-keeper is very good....one talented friend you have there. I have seen stitchery patterns by that company and they are really cute. The one you are doing is especially sweet! Now...remember to show it to us when you finish one of them, okay? (And thanks for the "dear Pat" link in your post, too!!!)

  3. Cute project wallet. And I love that stitchery pattern. Snowmen... sigh... soon enough.

    Interesting about that comment on Susan's blog. I'm suspicious that it was set at 'no reply' and that there's no way of confirming the copyright on the pattern. That's too bad. I would have liked to make one of those cute little baskets.

  6. Love your little wallet! I remember having a similar little needle keeper when I used to do cross-stitch. Now where could that have gone to ???
