{gray & red ruffle wallet}

Can you tell I've been on a wallet making kick lately?  Beware, because I'm not finished.  I'm working on several wallets similar to this one as well as other little pouches & coin purses.

 This one is my new one.  I bought this fabric a few months ago & I've been in love with it ever since, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to make with it at first so I just held on to it.  Then when I was getting ready to go on a trip to Canada I decided I wanted to make a new bag.  And of course, with a new bag I would need a new wallet too.  So... stay tuned that one is coming next!

I decided I wanted & needed more card pockets, so I added some on both sides.

And I added a pocket for my paper money.  In this section I also keep my photography business cards & my passport card, as well as bank deposit slips.

My little bottle of pain meds fits right at the top of all the cards.

And last but, not least is the back!  

If you would like to order a wallet in this style head over to my Etsy shop and you can order there.

(one more for my sis)

I thought that I posted this back when I posted the salmon wallet I made for my sister.  She wanted another wallet that was big enough to fit all of her typical things that you would carry in a wallet as well as her checkbook.  I created the pattern for this one, to make it a little bigger.

As usual there are 4 card pockets...

and a zipper coin pocket!

{Mindi's wallet}

Here is another custom wallet I made for my sister's best friend, Mindi. The little one is a business card holder, which can be used for your own business cards or to hold your loyalty cards & business cards you collect from your favorite businesses.  

Finding this fabric was absolute magic.  My sister gave me the color combination.  I found this fabric & texted her a picture & she was astonished that I could find something almost identical to Mindi's purse.  Wow, how perfect was that.

Zipper coin pocket

4 card pockets & a divider to separate your paper money from other items.

Fundraising Auction for Baby Easton

I made this pencil pouch (below) for an auction that is going on right now.  It is for a very good cause for a sweet little newborn boy named Easton.  He was born on Aug. 23rd with a very rare skin disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), which  causes his skin to blister & bleed.  They couldn't even give him a pacifier to sooth his tears, because it caused his lips to begin to blister & bleed.  You can read all about his story and/or donate to the family here (this is a fellow photographer friend's nephew). 

My heart goes out to this family & I know they would appreciate any love & support you can offer.  A fellow crafter friend has set up an auction to help raise money for the family & I have donated this pouch for the auction.  Please come check out this page to bid on the items to help his family out.  I plan to donate a few more items as I get them made.  So come & check back often as more products/services are being added regularly.

Custom Pencil Pouches

Brooklynne's Pouch

This is the first 2 of 5 pouches that I made this last week (+2 wallets). This one is for Brooklynne, my 12 yo daughter's very good friend. She saw the one I made for Makyla & ordered one for herself.  She requested an old fashion style with lace, so this is what I came up with & I'm happy to say she loves it!

Andrea's Pouch

This one is for another custom order for Andrea! She also saw Makyla's pouch & wanted one just like it. I try not to make any of my items exactly the same so I had to change it up a bit & made the pocket this fun bright green & used a fun black polka dot for the lining.  I also did a fun decorative stitch on the pocket (you can see it best in the first picture).

If you would like to purchase a pouch like this one visit my Etsy Shop & you can order one that is listed there or message me to order a custom one with  colors/prints that you would like.  I will send you pictures to confirm that you like the fabrics I find, before I start your bag.  Or if you'd like to purchase the fabrics for your custom wallet then the price would be $25 + shipping.
