EDIT-1-24-16-I was asked by crafter, one of the moderators, to state that my name is machine embroidered. Since it was, and even though I sewed this wallet, I felt because it would fit for either place, the Projects page or Sewing, I chose to put it here. -The flowered fabric was given to me and isn't it pretty. (A lady just brought me a large box of fabrics again, right about the time I got hurt.) Gerry, see my mammogram pen? Well, I feel good again, just making and embroidering SOMETHING-lol-Toogie

Oh Joyce, you give me too much credit,I just followed the pattern.The link is in Community/Sewing, for the pattern, with another wallet post. The instructions are very easy to follow. You should make one. If you need any help, I'm here off and on, just pm me.Have a good Sunday, I'm leaving this morning but will be back on later.-Toogie

Thank you Pam, how are your shows going?

by toogie edited 04 Feb 2016

Thank you, try one and see. It's not hard. Her directions are very easy to follow. The link is in Sewing with my other post.

by toogie 04 Feb 2016

Thank you very much, you are kind to say.

The lady that gives me the fabric is in my class, on Sunday morning. Her mom, Mrs Eunice, quilted and recently died. It is her stash that I keep getting from. They started giving me fabric, hardback quilting books, etc when Mrs. Eunice stopped quilting, a few years back. She was in her 90's. My son is friends and neighbors with the son of Mrs. Eunice, so we know the family. They know I sew, so I am fortunate, to receive all this. These fabrics are new, but I do recycle too sometimes. Always good to find a new purpose for things.

Thank you Bella,how are the girls?

No hoop for the wallet, just the name Toogie, and I could probably make about 9 at a time, in my 5x7 hoop. I just used a narrow piece of cut-a-way so I made 3 down the length.

I use iron on Pellon 809 Decor Bond in my wallets and some of my purses. It is 45' wide :) and $4.99 yard at Hancock Fabrics BUT don't pay that. They have coupons!-Thank you for your comments and question.-Toogie

by sjbrower 03 Feb 2016

Thanks Toogie.... We don't have Hancock in this area, but I'm sure that JoAnns or Hobby Lobby will have it. And I definitely use their coupons!

by toogie 04 Feb 2016

I'm sure they will have it too. We don't have a JoAnns but we have Hobby Lobby! Yes, always use those coupons!!!!!

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

Thanks Loralye!

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

lol-I'm laughing because I just told Chris, the older I get, the brighter colors I like! Maybe I can see them better-lol-I'm glad you like my purses and how do you like my name tag? A Cutie made it for me, as I told her my librarian wanted me to put my 'brand' on! Thanks again Cutie!

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

Thanks Michelle

Thank you S-Toogie

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

I know, I've been and still am, blessed. She has so many pretty pieces.

by toogie edited 25 Jan 2016

Thanks Sue,I just love to sew. I think by embroidering the name tag, may make it look 'very professional', as you say.

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

Thank you Lidia, glad you like it.

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

My leg stays put. My chair has a leg rest that it straight out from the hip, so....Anyway, I figured you and you know who (Carolyn) would like the color. The lady had some really pretty pieces in the box. Feels good to sew, doesn't it. I just looked at your orange mat!

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

Thanks teun

by toogie 25 Jan 2016

I'm glad you like the fabrics and its a shame you don't look here in Projects, to motivate you. There are a lot of nice projects here, that I'm sure motivate others. Cuties post such beautiful Projects. Have a good night.-Toogie

by crafter2243 edited 25 Jan 2016

I do that as well, but since I am old I forget. Actually as a moderator I have to look at everything and many times over. I let one of my machines embroider, while I am sewing on the other. So I look for motivation for both. Yes Cuties are amazing. I wish I could leave more comments on all the wonderful projects I see,

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

Yes, it is, thanks

by toogie 04 Feb 2016

I came back to say, I think I cut the checkbook 7 1/2 in x 14 1/2 in. Cut two fabrics and 1 Pellon-Iron Pellon 809 on ONE wrong side. Lay fabric right side together & sew all four sides EXCEPT leave a small opening, for turning, on one end.- Decide which side will be your outer fabric, if you made it, with two different fabrics. Fold your short ends with your inside fabric RST, making the ends almost meet. (You want to leave about a 5/8 to 3/4 inch gap in between, to insert your checkbook and ledger.) Now topstitch along the long sides only. Finished!

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

Yes, I know but I'm feeling better just by doing.

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

You're welcome and I'm glad you got a chance to see. A Cutie helped by making my name for me and I like to embroider it on my things.

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

Thank you

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

I usually can find fabric to make something and sometimes I get lucky and it matches!-lol Thank you for looking

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

Yes, its something we all use. Thanks

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

I liked it too, when I came across it in the box. Thank you

by toogie 24 Jan 2016

Thank you very much.
