CARD SLOTS & A ZIPPER IN A WALLET

(Yes, they are necessary!)


How many of us have tons of cards and receipts in our wallets?  How many of you, like me, like to change your wallets?  I have to admit, learning how to sew has allowed me to switch up my style based upon the season, or the need, and not have to spend a lot of money to do it.  I get in the mood for certain colors at certain times of the year and for specific reasons.  The wallet I would use every day just running to the grocery store may not be the wallet I use when going road tripping and/or hiking!  

After getting responses to my Simple Wallet video, I thought I would show a new, improved wallet.  The beginner wallet tutorial is only a few simple steps; great for someone who wants to attempt to create yet may not be ready for bigger challenges.  This wallet is the next step to sewing and getting you more organized on the go.  Then, create some accessories to go along with it!
