Lovely Linen Wallet

It's been almost a week since Syana had flu, with mild fever for two days.. She's now cough a lot and very fussy..*sigh* I guess every mother in the world have this very same experience, and thinking that way somehow makes me feel better :) Then, despite all the flu chaos,  I decided to take another small project that is fun to do on this weekend to cheer me up...hehehe ^^

So, this is my dream wallet, really.. I mean, sewing wallet that have thick and sturdy shape is very tricky, and of course sewing the bias binding even more challenging than ever :) But finally yesterday I decided to tried this wallet patern from one of my Japanese sewing book, with a little modification with the curve edges and the closure lid. 

This wallet outer is made of high quality linen fabric design by Cosmo and Yuwa. Very beautiful design and I love the vintage shabby look of the linen texture. I'm using a genuine cow leather and stripe cotton bias tape. The inner pocket is made of canvas fabric. I choose canvas instead of cotton fabric because it's thicker and stronger, and the most important is that canvas fabric have a good durability to be use as wearable. I'm also not a fan of interfacing.. actually I kinda hate the smell and the ironing part, which is time consuming and consider Syana is not feeling well, so canvas is the best choice. :)

This wallet have a huge size, it's 4.3x8 inches (folded), you can take everything on it..lol. Syana said that a she wants a wallet too, hahaha.. She was so cute tried to help me out with the bias binding, but of course ended up with messing the thread (again) :))

  

So what do you think? Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoy you're weekend there..

Oh, this wallet is available for purchase, mail me at tuffadoll at gmail dot com.  Have a good day all ^^
