I made this in a monthly Babylock Embroidery class today. It will be a gift for my daughter. The design on the outside of the clutch is embroidered on marine vinyl - the rest of the wallet was sewn. The metal top frame is screwed in with little tiny screws. I will be making another one for certain! Thanks for taking a look!!!

Wow, these are very close. It would have to be 8 inches though - I will check out the website more. Thank you!
Laura, look on page 2 and 3 of size 15cm-20cm Frames, in column on left. These measure 7 1/2 inch, could they possibly work?
Toogie, the 8 inch one that we had was a tight squeeze - I am afraid if the inside was cut down anymore - you wouldn't be able to fit in credit cards and id's. But, this tells me that the name of this design of the style is Diva - I am going to keep looking. I will let you know if I find it. I appreciate any help in finding the exact one. Thanks Nancy and Toogie!!!
Love it :)

Thank you - thank you!!
Laura, I love this! The fabrics are so bright and cheery, sure to find this wallet inside a bag-lol- Looks professionally done, so I don't blame you for wanting to make more. I hope you find the clasp/frame and at a good price, in bulk. I looked at the link below by NancyBT10, read my comment.

I appreciate help in trying to find the clasp frame. 7 1/2 would be too small but, I will keep looking. Even sewing the insides - it was quick to make. I appreciate all and any help in find the frame - I think it would make a nice Christmas present. Hugs, Laura* PS: I added a comment below Nancy's post.
Oh, I think it would made beautiful gifts, christmas,b-days,mothers day,etc. Let me know when you find them and where.

I have to drive about 30 miles away - but, that isn't too bad (I may eat my words, when we have 3 feet of snow on the ground!!). I love their projects - and, I am learning sooooo much! December's project is a snowman table runner - it is adorable and I really don't want to miss it! There is a lot of quilting in it - which I am a novice at. I wish you could join us - the class is very small and everyone is so patient and kind. Thanks bunches, Laura*
how wonderful this is! I can see why you want to make another! Well done, ~hugs~

Toogie, I think that is it!!! It is a better price than the $10.00 that I paid for in the class!!!!!!!! You are wonderful!! Hugs, Laura*
The sewing pattern was called: Diva Frame Wallet. It is easy to find on line. The only embroidery was on the outside of the wallet and not in the pattern.
Thanks-you guys are awesome!
Hover over purse frames at the top, then click on Diva frames...still looking

Thank you - it is a nice closure - it is strange to screw in onto the fabric - but - it works!!
Beautiful! I'm sure you will have a hard time convincing you MADE it!

Oh, I love it!! Don't you love hearing, "You made this?" Thanks!!
there are quite a few on etsy but most are 19 cm or 7-1/2 inch, most ship from overseas but they are are some that ship from the states. Check etsy for all your hardware and supplies, I have found some good deals there, I used to think they sold only finished products
