Yep, still sewing here (also gardening, which has slowed down the sewing a bit). I just haven't gotten around to posting my last project, plus I'm working on something now that is a gift and will have to remain a secret for a while. Also, Courtney is working on a project for the 4-H Fashion Revue (and that'll have to wait till August to be revealed).
My last project was little. It was another Flip Flop Wallet (pattern by Erin Gilbey of Dog Under My Desk). I decided I needed one to go with my new Spring Fling bag. I made a couple of changes to this one. Instead of the strap that wraps all the way around the wallet, I made a narrower one that came out of the back side seam. I didn't want to cover up any more of the cute fabric (that Jess brought me from Japan a few years ago) than that. I also use a KAMsnap fastener instead of a magnetic one. I had to wrack my brain a bit to get the placement just right (not to mention rip a few stitches in the process), but I'm pleased with how it turned out.
I only had very small scraps left from the fabric, not even enough for the whole wallet outside, so I spliced it to a piece of solid canvas for back part. It worked!
I kept the inside solid to avoid too much busyness.
And here you have it... the Spring Fling bag and its very own Flip Flop Wallet.
If you want to look at my other Flip Flop Wallet here, you'll see why I needed to make a different one to go with this bag. :)
