Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Walter + Veronica share a tutorial on for making an oilcloth wallet for a cash envelope system. Zippers on each pocket keep the cash where it needs to be. Go to the tutorial.
Editor’s Note: This blog is no longer available, but the designer has made the pattern available through her Etsy shop. You can purchase an e-pattern there at low cost.
The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Tried to view this tutorial, but it says the blog is invite only?
That really stinks… Really would like to see the tutorial but it’s for invited bloggers only. 🙁
Oh! nvm I found the link on their Etsy site: http://www.box.net/shared/yr2m4zmsbi
Good luck and congrats to Veronica on her third baby. :3
Thankyou Lupakitty, I was just about to give up when I found the link you provided. Very clever of you! I’m really looking forward to making this as I am an “envelope system” person.
I think they must have reorganized their blog to make it private. I’ve updated the post with the new link. Thank you, Lupakitty!! –Anne
I love this wallet!
I am not crafty at all though and would never be able to make one myself, do you happen to sell these as well?
Please email me back and let me know:)
I can’t see the tutorial and I REALLY want to sew one! Anyone have a link to the tutorial??
Thanks!
It looks like the blog is no longer available. You can purchase the pattern through her Etsy shop. Here’s the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/walterandveronica#. The cost is very low – just $1.61 USD. –Anne
