Time for another little snippet from the sewing room...and a Blog Hop Party Giveaway!
My fabric wallet was looking a little shabby,
so I thought I'd use up a little scrap of laminate.
At least if it gets grimy, I can just wipe it down! "Sew" cute!
You can also use regular cotton fabric, decor-weight fabric or whatever you'd like!

| "Sugar & Spice" Laminated cotton by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake Designs |
SUPPLIES:
Cut two 5" x 8" rectangles for cover and lining
1" Velcro or other hook & loop tape
1) MARK a curved line for flap by tracing something curvy - I used a CD.
2) PIN rectangles right sides together, then STITCH,
leaving an opening for turning at the lower edge.
leaving an opening for turning at the lower edge.
3) TRIM curve and clip corners
p.s. I always use pinking shears on my curves!
4) Turn right side out and PRESS.
Use a press cloth if pressing on the laminate side.
Stitch the opening closed, then edge-stitch
about 1/8" along the bottom.
about 1/8" along the bottom.
5) FOLD up and PIN sides in place to form pocket.
Make the pocket deep enough to hold a business card, credit card or money.
6) EDGE-STITCH through all layers, beginning at one bottom corner
and ending at the opposite corner. Backstitch at the top of the pocket as you go.
7) STITCH Velcro pieces in place. It would have been smart to
stitch the velcro in place before sewing up the sides, but that's not what happened.

8) FILL your new little wallet with business or credit cards, cash, whatever you'd like!

Goes great with my new Zippered Pouch!

ReplyDeleteMaking totes, bags and quilts! My area is a mess!
ReplyDeleteOh my- I would be thrilled to have one of these darling card holders! I need to start several projects- just trying to work through life and get a few spare minutes :) hehe!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower! and trying to finish up too many projects in the works so I can get to my Weekender Bag! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI just sewed the binding on my entry for this week's Project Quilting Challenge. Now I have to get the hand stitching done and a photo posted by Sunday at noon. Love your project, and thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThose are darling and such a great idea too. I am a follower and Easter outfits are "happening" in my sewing room this week.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm a follower, and when I'm home, I'm working on a king-sized quilt for my mom!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower and my quilting room is a mess right now as I'm trying to finish up several UFOs.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. I have some clipping on a rag quilt to do.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the laminates! I have none. But, I would love to make a makeup bag with some!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I haven't used laminated fabric yet, a bit scared! I am making a king size quilt for a customer, but I want to keep it! Plus my 8 year old is getting baptised so I have been making her dress! xx
ReplyDeleteCute wallet! If I don't win one I'll have to sew myself one. I am a follower... There isn't enough going on in my sewing room. I feel like I'm behind the eight ball on getting things done. It is mostly blocks for swaps at the moment...
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous - I've never sewn with laminates!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm making a baby quilt!
I'm a happy follower!
Right now my area is such a mess, that right now I'm mostly just working on cleaning it up. I'm hoping to be working on the Madrona road challenge and micro preemie diapers this weekend. Better get back to cleaning . . .
ReplyDeleteI am a follower, love the cute little card carrier..I am working on 3 quilts at the moment, the one I'm loving is called Blessings from the Hollow..keep inspiring us. Thanks for chance at giveaway..
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cardholder and a great tutorial. I definitely want to make one. Of course, it would be fun to win one too. I've not done much sewing with laminates, but want to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm a follower and I love the card/cash carrier!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm working on Civil War Chronicles, a BOM that I've had since 2010. I'm halfway through it.
I'm a follower already. My sewing space is our hallway so there is stuff spread all over the house! But at the moment I have just finished putting together my Something New Sampler BOM blocks into a flimsy and I'm about to make some quilts/mats for my old dog Molly.
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower and there isn't much going on in my sewing room at the present time. Although,I do need to fix a strap on my daughter's bathing suit. I hope to get back to some piecing of log cabin blocks very soon. Love this little wallet.
ReplyDeleteCute wallet! I am a follower. Right now in my sewing room I am trying to finish a quilt that I am making for my husband.
ReplyDeleteI'm following :) I love both of your projects so cute.. As for what is going on in my sewing room.. A big fat mess lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a happy follower !! That wallet is so beautiful and handy !!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm not in my sewingroom but I'm busy with some cross stitching :-) The quilts in progress in my sewingroom are screaming to me that they would like to be finished LOL
What a great giveaway. Would love to try some laminate. I am a follower and I'm making a coin quilt for a friend's son who just had the first (of 4) surgery on his leg.
ReplyDeleteReally cute Deonn! That would be so much perttier to carry in my "vacation purse" than the cheap plastic wallet that I use now. In my sewing room now I'm working on this year's teacher end of year gift quilts and 2 quilts for the school's big fundraiser. Busy, busy, busy!
ReplyDeleteI am allready a follower. Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway. I am working on a recycled camoflauge and kaki fabric table runner for my hunting sister and her hunting husband. It is for their new house. Yes they have camoflauge everwhere. Not my taste. But oh well. And now I have started soem hexi's that I plan to incoporate into the project somehow.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower. I haven't yet tried to sew with laminates, but with their cost it's great to have project ideas so you don't waste a bit. I just finished a quilted sewing machine cover, and will be starting a purse. Many thanks for the tutorial!

I always look forward to your new Snippets project - super ideas and super instructions - thanks. I am a follower. I'm preparing to sew a Weekender bag. It's been on my list for a few years and even bought the Amy Butler pattern and my fabric but...well, .... :) My local sewing shop starts a class this week on the Weekender. Maybe I can get the darn thing put together!!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. Really cute cardholder. I'm working on some Easter projects right now.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I've been wanting to sew something with the laminate fabric. Hope I'm lucky! I just finished a retro apron for my Mother in law and one for myself.
ReplyDeleteLove the little pouch. It is so cute and useful. I am a follower. Thanks for the opportunity on the draw.
ReplyDeletebonnielarson58@gmail.com
Love the Snippets. Waiting to be finished is a dress for the granddaughter. She is an Oh-So-Patient 11 year old.
ReplyDeleteAnother cutie from you, Deonn! I am a follower and right now I'm finishing up some cute little embellished needle cases for our National Quilt Day quilt show next weekend, and, and, and.....

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
Cute card holder, and perfect for taming my wallet. Today I am doing a bit of organizing. After a relatively recent move, and just uncovering another quilt related box, it needs to be done. Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteNow that is darn cute. I am doing paper piecing these days.

ReplyDeletei am a follower. and you must read my blog to see for yourself what my projects are at this moment...;P
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. May I offer a tip? As a means of protecting your cards from those "theft scanners", use a layer of aluminum foil as an "interfacing". It is said to give the same protection as one of those metal card protectors sold commercially.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a Whirligig quilt right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. What a great idea to make it from laminate! I'm a busy bee right now trying to finish up several quilts in time for my guild's upcoming show....tick....tick....tick!!!!!

I am a happy follower, though I will unsubscribe for about a month as we are in the process of moving to the ancient city of Kyoto, hence, my sewing room is currently being packed into boxes... I completely reorganized all my fabric and supplies over the Christmas holiday so packing/unpacking will be a snap. I will sign back up once we're online again. I like your clever tutorials!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. :D I am working on a Easy Street quilt.
ReplyDeleteI am only able crochet small projects and hand stitch small, easy projects at the moment, due to an injury. Consequently there's not a huge amount going on.
ReplyDeleteNew follower! I'm doing a lot of crochet and working on a quilt for my niece who turned 18 and is graduating this year!

ReplyDeleteProjects: king quilt almost pieced, Christmas stockings nearly done, mens shirt nearly done, crochet sweater half done, dress waiting for lining. And a million projects not started.
