Wallet pattern testing results for the Hold it wALLet and the Tracey Wallet!

I lucked out in April and got to be a tester for 2 new wallet patterns that will soon be on the market.  You will love these patterns as much as I do!  I will certainly be making more of each of these wallets, to the tune of a wallet to match each purse, you can't ever have too many! Just click the image to see a larger photo of each.  I will keep everyone posted with the releases of these wonderful patterns you must add to your collection! Make sure to follow my blog so you don't miss any annoucements!  You can also find me on facebook follow the fan box on the right side of my blog!

First up is the Hold it wALLet by Sandrahd over on sewing mamas.  This wallet is serious about holding it ALL!  I was thrilled with how it went together and with the great instructions. A zippered coin area, lots of card slots, a check book cover(which is included in the pattern), additional pockets for cash and receipts and it closes securely with a snap.There is lots of room for creativity using fabric with this wallet as well. You can find Sandra's blog here.

Next Up is the Tracey Wallet from Buttercuppity!  Another perfect wallet pattern!  This wallet is more compact than the Hold it wALLet but holds a ton none the less. A zippered coin area, plenty of card pockets, pockets for cash, pockets for receipts and room for a checkbook. The directions and pattern pieces are put together well and the pattern also allows for lots of creativity with your fabric.  You can find Ari's blog here.

New Spoonflower Swatches Are Here!

My new swatches arrived this morning.  Something like 37 swatches.  I was thrilled and took the opportunity to photograph outside in the natural lighting.  I did have issues with my vine coordinates though.  The repeat didn't set up like I was hoping, so I will have to work on that before photographing and posting. They are all available at spoonflower and I will be gradually listing them on etsy as well.  I would love to hear your feedback on my designs, just shoot me an email. Enjoy!
