I made a tri-fold wallet ITH today. It is from Embroidery Garden. I decided to stipple and add a monogram to the front otherwise this would have been done in one hooping!! It has 6 places for credit cards, a lined zipper pocket and a place for a checkbook. It probably took me longer to cut and label each piece of fabric than it did to stitch it! Thanks for taking a peek! Laura* PS: Fabric from part of my fat quarter purchase last week!

Thank you so much - the fabric was a simple Fat Quarter and a few pieces of scraps. Hugs, Laura*

1407This is very nice. I used to make these these using a regular sewing machine but with a ITH design they would be so much easier. I'm jealous though because it is too big for my hoop. Maybe it could be be reworked so it would fit a 5x7 like FiveStarFonts did with the checkbook cover.

I know Reen is working on a 6x10 - but that is the smallest that I know. These would look great with your fabulous bags!! Thanks bunches, Laura*
22595Nice work! Some yrs back I made a couple similar for a couple of Grands. They are not all that easy to do when you do not have an ITH design. This looks fabulous/Lillian

Lillian, it is hard to believe this could be done in one hooping (minus the stippling and monogram). With a little pre-planning it wasn't too difficult. Thanks bunches, Laura*

2995597166Never done this. I have an 8 x 12 hoop. Are the instructions easy to follow? Absolutely love this. I want to try ITH more and more since I've been drooling over all these type postings here.

Love your name!! Welcome to Cute! I have made many of her projects and I must say while this one wasn't hard - there were a few confusing parts. If you haven't put in a zipper yet - I would do a smaller project first. I know Five Star Fonts has 2 free zipper projects - I would do one of those first. Then try this one. I read the directions at least 3 times and I cut, ironed and labeled each piece (I think there were 11 pieces) before I started stitching. The pictures help - but still I did question one part - but, did what she said and it turned out fine. Good luck and PM me if I can help. Hugs, Laura* (a flower for you!)

1872Very nice - these would sell if you do craft fairs - maybe do the most common initials in 2-3 fabric looks. It's so ladylike!

86901Oh, I like this! I have been wanting to make me one , but it will have to be sewing instead, as my emb field is not large enough. Very very nice and love your fat quarter

Thanks Toogie. This one is made in a 8x12 hoop - Reen just posted one for a 7x12 hoop and she announced that she is working on a 6x10. Thanks, Laura*

If it was any smaller your check book may not fit in. Some use debit cards instead of check books but I still write checks. A 5x7 is my emb size

You are right, Toogie - if it were smaller your checkbook wouldn't fit. I still write checks too!!
