Friday!

Yep, this is Friday's post, as in tomorrow. But I'm posting it today because Jess is posting it, too, and she was in a hurry to get the adorableness up. So if you want to actually read a post here tomorrow, you'd better stop reading right now and come back then. ;)

This is my latest sewing project. It's very tiny, but tiny doesn't necessarily mean quick, I found out. It wasn't bad, but "it took longer than I thought it would". (Ha! Yeah, I know... you've heard that a time or twenty before.) It was putzy and had some pretty thick seams in places, but I like how it turned out. 

It's a zippered card pouch made from a tutorial by Joanne at Craft Passion. See how tiny it is?!


It even has an itty-bitty gusset on one side!


It's just the right size to carry your credit cards, or some cash....


.... or, what I intend to use it for, some wallet-size photos. The plastic sleeve thingy in my wallet has been broken for a long time, and I thought this would make the perfect replacement. I still need to add something stiff to make sure the photos don't get bent, but I'll figure that out later. Oh! I know what I'll do! What you can't see in the pictures is that there's a little divider strip on the inside. I'll put a really stiff piece of cardboard on one side of the divider. That should do it!


I believe this still qualifies me as a bag lady. :) Of course the fabric was designed by Jess.

Linking up to Amylouwho's Sew & Tell. If you're coming from Amy's and want to see another sewing completion from July, check this post.
