As always, I enjoyed your tutorial.
Thank you ☺️
Another awesome video! Thanks chic!
No problem!
Awesome, I'm make them for couples now.
Nifty. Thank you!
I must confess I never made the Key Fob Wallet because of the reasons you stated. Looking at the pattern I just cut the measurements stated for the inner body piece/lining? I love the hack and it is a wonderful teaching lesson for my younger grandchildren as with your coin purse. Thank You! A afterthought. Clarification when looking at the patterns how do you tell if it is a PDF or SVG.
Yes, the inside piece is the same measurement as the Key Fob wallet. And in my shop titles for each product I specifically say if it’s a PDF, a PDF & SCGs, or just SVGs!
I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
SewGnar
You’re welcome. Thank you for making them.
enjoyable as always.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing
No problem!
Love your videos xx
Appreciate you!
Great idea. Thank you:)
No problem!
I love how you have a logo stamp on your products, do you have a link to the manufacturer? Thanks
I have a couple videos on my channel all about the branding iron!
So really basic question. I notice that you don't tie off your threads. You just back stitch a bit and cut them. I'm used to sewing with fabric where you lock the stitches by sewing in the same place about 8 times. I think that would put a hole in your cork. So you just go forward and back at the beginning and end and then trim the threads? Thanks for your help.
I do, yeah. I just backstitch over my stitches. I’ve tried the tying method but the thread I use is so thin so it’s a pain in the butt!
Where does it say the measurement for the inside lining piece?
In the pattern I list dimensions.
With the original it was a snap closure key fob. Do you think adding a snap closure to this hacked version would work?
You could certainly add the snap but the raw edge of the tab would be exposed, which is why I’ve never done it.
I was wondering what gauge vinyl you use for the ID window? The one I used in the Tall wallet is too thin.
Thanks, Dia
I just use the thickest I can find in whatever store I’m in, I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer.
@@SewGnar Thanks. That makes sense! I was trying to buy it online. 😂
My machine is similar to yours PQ1500SL. do you recommend using a teflon foot when sewing cork. (looks like that is what you're using). what thread and what needle?
I always use a Teflon foot, I never take it off. I’ve been using size 16 needles with Gutermaan Mara 120 thread.
Can you still make the slim bi-fold with the outside zip of the original? Or is that stupid? I really just don't have snaps
I just approved a photo in my sewing group, that must have been you! It came out so cute!
@SewGnar yes! I was just too excited to see how it would come together I just went for it. lol. thank you for the great instructions and the videos. I probably watched them a dozen times between the three that I found, mostly because i just enjoy listening and sewing along. thanks again for a wonderful pattern I will definitly be making more.
What are the finished dimensions... Please
When laid flat it’s 4” tall by 6.5” wide.
Can I use vinyl with this pattern?
Love your videos
Absolutely! Any self healing edge textile will work with all my patterns!
How to download this pattern???
You buy the Key Fob Wallet pattern in my shop and don’t use all the pattern pieces. There is a direct link in the description box
Love your style. How do you get your "label" embossed on the cork ?
I used a heat brand to imprint my label. I have a whole video on my channel with that info!
