YAY for Mini Wallets!!! - Giveaway

 Mini Wallets

$28 each includes shipping

While I was gallivanting around Northern California and Southern Oregon with my family I stopped in every artsy store I could find. (Ashland, OR is an excellent place for the Artsy) At one of the fabric stores I saw some cute little wallets. They had the most amazing fabrics at the shop, the wallets were adorable. They weren't exactly the way I would want them. Way to flimsy, but I loved the shape. When I got home I experimented and came up with my own design. I love them! I even took one out for a spin last night.

On Saturday I mentioned that I would make one of these wallets as a gift for one of you! All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me what colors you would like your mini wallet to be. One person will win, and I will do my best to make a wallet in the colors of your choice. Make sure I can find you if you win. If your blogger account isn't public I don't know who you are. I also am having the damnedest time trying to figure out who anonymous is... Leave your email address or twitter account if you are unsure.

Making the pattern pieces. I had to make sure that all the lines/cuts matched up folded in half so that the each side of the wallet matched and then again when the flap folded down. Then I had to cut a second piece that was "exactly" the same only smaller for the interfacing. The smaller pattern piece is the most important since it is the interfacing that gives the wallet it's form.

About the word exactly...  I'm not a perfectionist. I'm far from it in fact. As my friend Nani once quoted "perfectionism is the greatest killer of creativity". I do a lot of my designing freehand, luckily I have a good eye!
