Instructions

This bag requires attention to detail. I found it a bit overwhelimg. You will be putting lots of layers of fabric under your sewing machine and the bulk is a bit hard to sew over.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Cute, Funky, Casual, Whimsical


Materials

quilting fabrics, interfacing, thread, button, zipper

What was your inspiration?

The front of the book "Sew Serendipty Bags" and I bought a jelly roll at a great price. This patterns makes great use out of a jell roll with all the ruffles.

What are you most proud of?

That I actually completed the purse.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Not for the week at heart about their sewing machine. The amount of fabric stuffed under the machine is overwhelming.

I made 3 of those wallets yesterday morning....to cute....I see your point about all the fabric around the edges...whew!....Instead of using new zippers, I used zippers from pants or jackets with the fabric already around the zipper and sewed that in place for the coins....I upcycle stuff ....

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has only bought a few bags, but have made many. LOL. Wallets are kind of new to me, but for some reason I feel the need to have one to match all the purses I make now.
