Although I quite like my current wallet, it’s looking distinctly tatty.
It also has 2 major disadvantages.
The first is that it’s huge and it takes up an awful lot of room in my bag.
The second is that because it has so many useful pockets inside, I feel obliged to fill them all up with junk. The pockets of my purse get so full of old bus tickets and receipts that it won’t stay closed! Pockets are nice, but I just don’t need that many.
So I now have a handmade wallet that’s quite a bit smaller and enough pockets to be useful, but not too many!
I already had some fabric that I liked (most of it is a dress which is currently in the pile of unfinished projects!), and some little bits of Soft and Stable that are to small to use in bags.
The only things I had to buy were zips!
This is a good project for using up fabric left over from other projects, and it would make a nice gift for somebody if you don’t need a new purse yourself.
Here’s the tutorial for my handmade wallet!

I love it, very cute. I'll be trying it as soon as I can find time. Maybe no one else needs it, but I could've used a few more pics for the lining, zipper, & fusible steps, & all the steps that didn't have specific pics for them really. I'm a bit challenged in some ways. ...Thank U, though, for a sweet project idea. Can't wait to try it. 🙃
