I finally finished making The Necessary Clutch Wallet & boy it is not one for the faint of heart! by that I mean your machine......it is quite thick on the sides so a real challenge to get under & stitch up the sides. I broke only one needle doing them & switched to a denim one & it seemed ok but it was a struggle to stitch with the new machines. I have an old work horse metal Janome & it can handle the bulk no problem but the Janome sewing/embroidery machine was a challenge for sure! I finally got to use the Bosal in this clutch & now I have learned that Pellon makes a batting like this too. I am going to have check out JoAnn's to see what their's is like? I did add a few bits to this wallet because I have heard others say that it pours open the mintue you open it so I added bungee style cords in the inside as well as the Velcro strap to hold my cell phone in safely, I also changed where the magnetic closure goes to allow for more room on the inside.I put it closer to the top instead of the 2.5" away I placed it 1.5". It is quite sturdy but remarkable light..........well @least while it is empty lol.Of course adding a little bling makes it look nicer too. I recycled an old purse & used the metal Multi Sack bit to the top of this. I am already thinking about the next set of fabrics I will choose to make another lol
I'm sure your next clutch will be even easier, now that you've finished the first one. Can't wait to see it.
You did a great job on it.
