I am working on my girls' Easter dresses this week, but I took a little break to make some of these basic wallets from Keyka Lou's pattern. I made some of these at Christmas for the preschool teachers, and they were big hits. I needed a couple of little gifts, so I went back to this pattern. This first one is actually for me. I needed another case for my little point and shoot camera, and this pattern works perfectly for it. I also use this wallet for my iPhone.
For this one I used this pretty oak tree from by Joel Dewberry.
This wallet is the perfect pattern for your largish scraps. I used this fun Japanese print that I had just perfect amount leftover from this pillow.
Just dig through your scrap bin and wa-la!
Keyka Lou is having her anniversary sale right now and all her patterns are only $5 right now! I have never been disappointed in any of her patterns. She has great details on how to make your item turn out just right. I have a link to her shop over there ---------->; in my sidebar!
So, what are you working on this week?
I love Keyka Lou patterns, they're fab! These wallets are so cute!

ReplyDeleteI'm working on a skirt made from a pattern I developed. It really looks promising so far and if it works, it will change the way I make skirts forever :)
