Crafters Companion- July- Extra Project- Wallet/ Purse

Today I have another extra project for you. I made this wallet out of Debbie Shore half yard gifts.

I haven't made a wallet before so decided to give it a whirl. I can't believe how easy it was ! It was another quick make and I loved how it turned out. I think these would look fab made up in different fabrics and as the book says, they would actually make great gifts!

The project took up very little fabric. This project also requires interfacing so I used fusible. I am also thinking that wadding would make it even more sturdy so I might give that a go next.

I used left over pieces from my beach bag (Debbie Shore high style handbags cd rom- The cats out of the bag) see my previous posts to see that! And I also used some of my threaders fabric. I had a half metre and I don't even think it took half of it.

I also think this project would look nice with some sort of appliqué on the front to jazz it up even more so next time I make one, that't what i'll do.

See below for the links to the products I used.

See you soon!

Crafters Companion July Projects- Jewellery Roll

For my second July Project I could do a project of my choice. After flicking through my Books I came across the jewellery roll in Debbie Shores Half yard home book.

I had ordered some of the super soft faux leather and thought that it would look great in that! I hadn't got anything in for the lining and wanted something bright and a match both the pink and blue faux leather, so I went to my local fabric shop for that.

I used the zips on a roll to get the perfect length zip that I needed. I also found a lovely piece of blue lace in my stash that looks perfect for the ties.

Once I had finished i felt the roll needed something a little extra so I used my easy crystal for fabric to bling it up!

So here it is I am so pleased with the outcome I ended up using the pink faux leather for the pocket linings I think this will protect the jewellery a little more. I love the little ring toll in the middle too and it isn't as fiddly as you would think to make.
