SWIVEL SNAPS: 5/8" Swivel Snaps are widely available from many retailers in a variety of finishes and clasp styles. Check out the custom hardware groups like Wizardry Stitchery/Geeky Hardware, Sewful Therapy, Weft +The Warp, and more. The clasp I'm using in this video was from Amazon (the link I purchased from is no longer valid). I thought it best to use a retail-available version for this tutorial instead of custom hardware. - Zábava
Congratulations on your first pattern xx really easy to follow and you look fantastic xxx
And now you’re my favorite person! Haha! Thank you so much!!!
I'm so excited for you ❣️💙
Fantastic pattern, so useful!
Oh goodness! Thank you so much!!!!
Fabulous pattern and video!!! Thank you for the special introductory price and awesome video!!!
Thank YOU! I can’t wait to see what you make with it! Let me know if you have any questions.
Congratulations Krystal. I love this pattern
Thank you! Keleesha was on the tester team and helped make the pattern better. I appreciate you!
Congrats on your first awesome pattern. Great video as always.
Thank you so much! I’m hoping everyone will enjoy making them!
I just finished my trial one and it came out great! I used scrap leather that I get “cheap” from an upholsterer. It’s so cute I’m going to go ahead an make a matching Linds phone strap. Thanks for this awesome pattern. 😍
That’s fantastic!! I hope you’ll share it with us on social media so we can give it alllll the oohs and ahhhs!
You did it!! Great job! 🎉❤
Couldn’t have done it without you! (Literally)🎉😂❤
Your business/You Tube name is perfect for you as I found you oh so charming! Made my first one tonight and needed to use your video to confirm construction. Thank you so much! I look forward to making many more.
You’re a sweetheart! Thank you so much and it made my day to hear you made one!
Congratulations on your first pattern.
Thank you!
This was great! Thank you so much. I loved how thorough you were and the comments on screen made me lol. That is something I would do so now I know to watch out for it and/or use non-directional prints. 😂
Thanks! I figure it’s better to be transparent than perfect! Good thing, too, cuz perfect would take too many takes!
This is adorable. I noticed a discrepancy on the written instructions. Piece has two different measurements listed. The pattern piece AND page 4 are consistent, but pdf page 1 (really page 2) has it wider and longer. I’m making this now…keeping my fingers crossed.
Thank you for the catch! The pattern piece is accurate - I will get the inconsistency corrected! I appreciate you. Can’t wait to see what you think of the finished wallet.
Love all the extra info. Stellar tutorial! I went to click on harbor press tutorial and it said it’s unavailable. Off to look for other videos to see if it’s used :).
Thanks! The half-ton option on Amazon works, too!
I’ll fix the link - thanks for letting me know!
Great pattern and video! Where can I find that 1x6 ruler? It’s hard to find one with the markings like that.
Thank you! I have the link in the description box of the video (for anyone looking for other links). But here is the ruler: sewful-therapy.com/products/sewfrxtion-acrylic-rulers
New at this. What size would you call this a little rivet please?
I am cutting out a quilt for the local Junior high basketball weekend tournament. Your instructions are just great! I love how you explain everything. Gives us newbies hope. Thank you from Canada and Happy Mew Year.
Thank you so much for your kind compliments! The little rivets are 6mm. The snaps are 12mm spring snaps or fashion snaps.
Congrats, it's a cute little wallet. The video was very needed, thank you. I work much better with visual direction (compared to written, even with photos). Quick question: would you consider doing an add-on video showing how to make the cell phone modification and the belt modification? I'm not sure I follow the written directions where it says "sew the bottom of the cash pocket to the body" which end is the bottom? It's sewn down normally at the end/topstitch. So that part is confusing me. I think I can figure out the belt modification but I'm not sure without seeing a photo. With video/photo of the original method it helps to have a photo/video of the modifications. Thanks for considering.
Thank you for your feedback! I can do a video but it won’t be until next weekend at the earliest. If you’re in the Facebook group I can share photos with you sooner. Great suggestion!
Where did you get the edge paint roller? That is a great idea
Hi! I got it on Amazon! It’s pretty spiffy. A medicine dropper (also from Amazon) is helpful for adding paint to the well - and taking it out.
Krystal, what do you call the little tray with the roller for using with edge paint?
It’s this one:
BUTUZE Leather Edge Roller Oil Painting Box with 2 Brass Rollers, Leather Craft Small Size Leather Edge Roller Applicator, Essential Leather Edge Printing Tool for Leather Craft DIY, Leather Working a.co/d/1GyD6U7
@@CharmingCheek thank you.
Could you use 1/8 in DST to hold all the pieces in place?
You sure can but you would want to keep it out of the stitching. I like the masking tape because it keeps the edges from getting shifted by the feed dogs. But as you can see, I’m kind of clumsy and need the extra help.
I need to know for this Purple Fabric. What is? I need asap this fabric, pleaseee
It is called Olyfun and it’s available at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Amazon, etc. You can also use material from a reusable grocery bag. I show more about that in the video.
@@CharmingCheek thank you so much for the info 🖤
@@ispops87 my pleasure!
