Welcome to Just Quilt It. I thought and thought about what to do for this blog. It wasn't until I came across a tutorial for a wallet that I decided what I would do. The tutorial can be found here.
I used flowers that I fussy-cut from fabric--because I love flowers, 49--the year I was born, my name and USA for my stamp. I used a cricut pattern for the stamp outline.
I pulled out scraps from the teepees I made for my grandchildren a couple of years ago and a flower-patterned fabric that a friend had given me last year and got busy. The letters on my sewing machine were just the right size. Here is the finished project:
The original pattern used duck cotton for all layers. I wanted to use the flower fabric on the inside pocket, so I fused it to the duck fabric, adjusting the size a little so that I could also sew the 2 layers together and turn them, finishing the edges. I cut out the flowers and fused them to the outside and inside. Then, I machine appliqued around them before putting the wallet together.
It is the perfect size to hold a couple of credit cards and my cash. If I make another one, however, I will probably put a loop and a button on it to hold it closed. This project went together quickly once I decided what I wanted to make.
Please visit the other stampers who are sharing their work today. Also, a big thanks to Thearica and Madame Samm for all of their work to make this hop a success!
