I was in Patina (a local boutique) a few weeks ago and was inspired by a "bill-fold" t
hat they had. I don't know what you would call it but bill-fold seems to fit. Anyway. I have a ton of leather samples and haven't ever come up with anything to do with them. I also finally have a machine that can handle leather, so I have no excuse anymore. I have also been ready to replace my wallet with something that could also be used on it's own. The diaper bag has become my new purse when Oscar's with me but when I'm out running errands I usually just need my wallet... and maybe my phone.So this has been a perfect solution! It's kind of a clutch/wallet. The pockets are roomy enough for my phone, sunglasses, lipbalm, etc. and I don't have to repack a purse every time I go out on my own.
My only criticism is again the zipper! I'll get the hang of it eventually right?

Seriously impressive work, Jess. Funny, I woke up thinking about wallets. Chris needs a new one.
It looks cute! What sewing machine do you have that handles leather well?
I've been thinking about trying a male wallet too. Matt's about ready for a new one also.
My sewing machine is a Bernina Activa 220! I love it!
oh, so you decided on the same machine as mine!? you didn't tell me! how exciting! you will fall in love if you haven't already. i'm working on oscar's quilt right now and can't wait to get it to you.
love the wallet...very simple and really functional! i think i may need one now that i'm with sonny most of my days...i hate lugging around my huge purse AND diaper bag.
