Today I'd like to share my first PayItFwd 2011 gift. It's for my dear friend and snail mail pen pal (say that 10x fas!t), Sara. When I asked Sara what she would like, she mentioned a small wallet. Since I know she does a lot of farmer's market shopping, I decided to find a small wallet pattern.
Most of the patterns I found where either too large, or required complex steps. I wanted to keep it simple. My addiction to YouTube lead me to find a few wallet tutorials. I combined a couple of them, tried them using scrap fabric, and came up with a wallet that is just what I was looking for!
It was my first attempt at sewing a wallet. I plan to make a couple of them for Christmas. Maybe I can try my hand at a tutorial and free pattern!
I can't wait to share my other PayItFwd gifts! I'm hoping to finish another this weekend.
Until next time, how are your holiday crafts coming along?
with peace, love, unity, and respect,
♥♥♥♥♥

Hi Jenn! Could you elucidate a bit about the Pay It Forward gift project? It sounds neat; is it a knitting blog meme, or something on Ravelry, or did you just decide to apply the PayItFwd concept to crafting? Just curious. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun looking wallet!
ReplyDelete@Angie It is the PayItFwd concept, except it is the "Handmade Edition." I do know it was going around Facebook and that someone decided to post it on thier blog.
ReplyDeleteI've added a link for you to view my post from earlier this year regarding it. :)
