Fabric Mini Wallet

I tested this Fabric Mini Wallet for Around the Bobbin patterns. It was a really fast and easy sew. The pattern is on sale for 25% off and no code is needed! Grab it while it is on sale ( sale is just for a few days) and whip up a few of these wallets for gifts. 

The wallet measures 3" x 4 3/4". So it is small enough to fit in any bag, a pocket, or you could add a hook to hook on your belt loop of your jeans. You can add a keyring too and use the wallet as a key fob wallet too! Or add a lanyard with a swivel hook and hook it on the keyring and wear it like a necklace. See how versatile it can be? And those are just a few of the things that I thought of.

There are 2 card pockets, a cash pocket, a zippered pocket for coins (or cash too) and a loop for a key ring (or swivel hook). 

The back side.

Here you can see the zippered pocket and the slip pocket as well as the card pockets.

Grab the pattern now while it is on sale for 25% off!

Cork Mini Wallet + Sale

This is the Cork (or vinyl) Mini Wallet. Such a super fast little project to sew, using a scrap of cork, or vinyl. You can use this wallet in the Essential Phone Bag (previous bag I posted) or use it in any bag or alone, and be sure to scroll to end of this post for the SALE code for all the Around the Bobbin patterns too.

The Cork Mini Wallet measures 4" high x 2.5" wide and has a mesh pocket on each side of the wallet. Pop in your ID, credit card, cash and go. These would make super fast gifts and a great way to use up small vinyl or cork scraps.

One side here.

The other side here.

I popped in my card so you can see how you can see through the mesh.

Not only is this pdf pattern on sale, but all of Around the Bobbin's patterns are on SALE on the website for 15% off! Use Code ATBSALE to get the 15% discount. Sale valid May 24-27th. So grab all the patterns you have been wanting to sew while they are on sale.😉

Leatherbound: Fine Handmade Leather Goods

Hello Friends. I wanted to share something with you today and that is my son's business, called Leatherbound. My son, Silas started a business last year making items using leather. He hand stitches it all and does an excellent job! Yes I know I am his mother and of course I am biased, but I have seen his work in person and you would be hard pressed to tell if it was hand or machine stitched! A machine might be in his future, but for now it's all hand stitched! I am proud of him of course as any mother would be, but mainly because he is a good person with a caring heart. What more could a mother ask for?

Minimalist Wallet

Funny that he ended up making mostly wallets. I wonder if I had any influence on him at all? While he chose to work with real leather (there are many kinds of leather out there, but Silas uses the best quality) I prefer to use cotton fabric. I found out a lot of interesting things about leather from him and before you buy a handmade leather item anywhere, you might want to read his article explaining about how to buy a leather wallet that will last a long time. In this posting Silas explains what to look for when buying a good quality wallet. Also read Leather Buying Guide, which explains the different types of leather and the process that leather goes through. He doesn't buy leather from tanneries that use harmful chemicals, he uses vegetable tanned leather. The quality of his leather is heads and tails different from most leather I have ever seen or touched.
