This was the first time I have used a StudioKat pattern, and while it ended up looking nice, I don't really plan on making this one again any time soon! Mainly because it uses binding, which is my kryptonite. Also, it isn't a PDF file, so I can't easily print new pieces if I lose some of the pattern pieces!
 |
| My little Kaylee came out to make it all shiny! And a matching vax card holder |
For this wallet I used a fun Firefly inspired fabric from Moonbeam Textiles, another great fabric shop that has closed its doors.
 |
| Focus on just the wallet |
The wallet has a bunch of pockets inside, plus an external pocket with a snap to keep it closed. I found a shimmery quilting fabric that coordinated perfectly! The stars are gold foil printed, so they really are shiny!
 |
| Tiny card pocket was perfect for a scrap of the outside fabric |
Inside also has a zipper pocket for change. To keep the inside slim and easy to close, I didn't use a custom zipper, just a normal #3 zipper.
 |
| Lots of card slots! |
 |
| Different angle to try to show off the gussets |
 |
| There's even slip pockets on the side of the zipper pocket |
I was able to use some of my Serenity zipper pulls, in the brass (antique gold) finish. I don't normally use this color of hardware, so I had to special order them.
 |
| The double zipper pulls is a little overkill on a wallet, but made it easier to sew up! |
 |
| Other side, with another Serenity zipper and the wrist strap (detachable) |
This wallet was pretty cunning, don't you think?
 |
| The elastic piece holds 2 pens in place! |
