A bit of blogging news & then a finished project! :)
I did a bit of a redesign on my blog, I have been using this template over on my photography blog & thought it might be a nice change over here. So if you normally read this in a feed reader, stop over & see how it all looks. There is a new banner, because oh my was that one old & much larger images :)
Also I am now on twitter if anyone wants to follow me :) I put a twitter widget above too so you can follow along on the blog…
Life has been so busy which I know I mention every time I blog… Summertime brings with it photo sessions for my photography business, spending time with friends, garage sales (and good friends to go with) and lots of time spent outdoors. Plus in the Sew Click Create household we have been trying to get a few things done to our new home. Slowly but surely I am working on decorating & making it more beautiful, while my sweet hubby tackles all the home maintenance projects & any decorating whims I cannot handle on my own :)
Of course I have fit in a little bit of time here & there for sewing. This wallet was finished one evening when I decided I just had to have a new wallet for my new purse right that instant. I love this fabric, so perfect for Seattle since our summer started with so much rain!
The pattern is my own and I find it is the perfect size for all my cards & even fits a little bit of cash and extras. Perfect for those times when I just want to grab my wallet & not my whole purse. Here it is next to my new favorite purse (from target) where it has been living the last couple weeks… (*I love that it even matches my purse*)
Leave a comment & tell me what you have been sewing or creating lately :)
I love the fabric and looks great with the purse. Maybe we should all have a no sew get together this month?
The new wallet and the new purse are both very cute! I’d say the fabric is quite appropriate for the Seattle weather that we’ve been having.
Love it!
I’m working on nothing. Nothing. :o(
Hi! Well, for this trip I made a tiny sewing kit that I put inside of a fisherman’s mint tin. I don’t have room in my bag for much new clothes, so I am focusing on repairing the stuff that I have. Mending socks, putting a zipper in my bag, and constantly fixing this little black cardigan which apparently was only single stitched in the seams and it loves to make a new hole everytime it is washed. Yup. That is what I am sewing these days. :) It makes me feel kind of like I am living in little house on the prairie days. :)
Chara, I love that wallet, it is so cute! I also think your new banner you have on your site looks great!
Hi Chara!
I love this wallet. So cute. I haven;t done zippers in a while, but I’d love to try my hand at a wallet like this. First, I need to make myself a couple of skirts and tops. I’m in the midst of a wardrobe thing. Hope you having a great summer. I love your new banner and all of your beautiful photos.
