Villainous Coffee Quinn Wallet - RLR Pattern Testing

It seems like wallets are the popular patterns coming out right now, and I got the chance to test another new pattern, the Quinn Wallet from RLR Patterns. 

The only orchids blooming right now, my Lego ones.

This wallet uses fabric (which I have an excessive amount of in my stash), so I went with a super fun villain and Frappuccino inspired mash up. I had to dig to find something to coordinate, but fortunately this pattern doesn't require a lot of fabric and I found a shimmery pink in the scrap pile that had just enough left! I can't remember where I got the main fabric from, I'm guessing it was a group that has since closed, but it was perfect scale for this wallet!

Fake hand for scale, and for fun!

The Quinn is a clutch sized wallet, and even has a detachable wrist strap. I used my buckle D ring from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts for the connector, it's my go-to for D rings that don't twist around! I also used the Celebration String (also from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts) because the variegated colors were perfect to coordinate with the fabric!

The outside of the wallet has a zipper pocket and a roomy phone pocket that is secured with a snap. I accidentally sewed my snap on flipped, so I had to do some creative fixing to make it work since I didn't realize right away... Now my tab is a little shorter, or 'more secure' as my teenager pointed out. ;) The pocket has elastic sides, so you can fit really big phones in there! I was able to fit my Galaxy S22 Ultra with a Pop-socket! The pattern calls for a #3 zipper, so I didn't use one of my fancy ones, but maybe next time!

Don't look too closely at my topstitching, especially on the white elastic!

My 'short' zipper tab, but at least I got Ursula on it!

Inside, there are a bunch of card slots (10), plus slip pockets behind the card slots. There is one GIANT pocket behind everything that you could even divide up if you wanted. For a wallet, that is a lot of pockets!

So many pockets!

Lots of space...for activities! Or maybe just money.

I really love this fabric, so I'm including some extra shots of it, just because it's so pretty!

Front, my new tag color actually matches pretty nicely!

Back, if I had put the tab on correctly, it would have been right side up when closed...

This one stands up on its' own!

This one did get a little thick doing the final stitching, so I wouldn't try vinyl or even thicker fabric without a super strong machine! I had to hammer my seams to get through the part with the elastic, but eventually it worked.

Matches my mermaid cup!
