I finally got around to taking a picture of the new wallet I made. The pattern came from http://www.bluebirdswing.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-very-first-tutorial-lets-make-wallet.html
As you can see I use the top pocket for cash and change in the zippered section, then credit cards in the middle and then another pocket at the bottom for receipts, or I have my drivers license and insurance cards in a plastic holder in that pocket, and whatever else you need tucked in there, more cash if the top pocket can't hold it all. I wish that were the case. LOL The checkbook would fit there too if you carry one.
I should have followed her instructions and used a 7" zipper. I used a larger one and then couldn't top stitch around the outside. I also didn't have fusible fleece so I used wonder under over batting. I was in too much of a hurry to make one and didn't want to wait for the right supplies. LOL I also used velcro in lieu of the magnetic snaps only because I thought I read somewhere not to use magnetic near credit cards. That said, I sure do like it. The finished size is about 8-1/4" by 4". I have been using it for awhile in a purse that has entirely too much junk in it.
So be sure to visit her wonderful blog

Looks like you've been busy! How's your summer been?
Wow Kathy that purse is gorgeous, I think i might have to make one for myself. Even better that you can fit a cheque book in it is a bonus.Thanks so much for sharing yours Congratulations you did very very well.
Hi Judy, this has been the only project finished in a long time.
I finally was able to find a job with a local hospital. At this point it is with the interim staff which is no-benefits, not considered full-time, and placed in positions as need, but do work work full-time 40 hr week. First 8 weeks in training and then to the phone center. At this time the position is to last until at least mid-January or possibly into Feb/March. After that not sure yet. I can't believe summer is about over and kids are back to school. Hope you and DH are doing well.
Cobar...thank you for stopping by and commenting on the wallet. I have added your website to my machine embroidery list.
It's pretty and you are making good use of it! (I really do like the fabrics used)
I "tote around" a big canvas tote from Target(Year: 2000?...pfff!) Anyway, it's filled with all kinds of zippered pouches! I never remember what is where though! ha!
So glad that your area got only a bit of rain.
There isn't anything wrong with a Target Tote, it does the job and that's what counts. You need to put little tags on your zippered pouches. :)
It was nice and sunny today. Pretty cool overnight @ 44 degrees. I heard geese this morning while hanging up some towels on the clothes line. I hope they weren't heading south just yet.
Divino, me encanta tu blog
