Another pretty wallet


Yesterday I finished another long double folded wallet. The main cloth is again light pink cotton canvas. And the secondary is a yellowy - pinkish cotton fabric. When I did the binding with that fabric it all the time pulled together. I think the fabric was maybe too much starched (stiff) when I bought it.


I wanted to do the same wallet again so I can get better doing them:

This time I added a pleated coin compartment (more space).
The zipper I put in much nicer then last time.
I added another ID card compartment on the left top side.

Overall it came out quite nice, but I am still a little bit disappointed. For one thing I screwed up the binding again. (Last time it was not that bad!) I just have to remember to fold it over on the other side again - there is enough space! And the first zipper I sewed in on the wrong side (on the lining side). So this wallet is quite special: It has a zipper and underneath another zipper. - Which makes it quite bulky. But I didn't want to throw away that piece of cloth, so I just used it on the inside.

Here you see the first wallet I made about a week ago with "his new brother" ;-)

I am also quite tired of only having the pink strong canvas fabric. (You need strong fabrics for creating bags and wallets!) I am waiting already for an opportunity to go to Tel Aviv to buy some more sewing stuff and fabrics. Maybe next week...
