BeckyC said... Your wallet looks nice! The great thing about sewing is that you can tailor make your wallet/garment to exactly what you want. I've made several of these wallets and really don't like the velcro either. But I know the wallets I make will only be used to throw bare essentials in while shopping or walking. I bet if you can find some quality nylon (like used in windsuits) this wallet would be a lot less bulky. Great review! 1/16/07 7:49 AM
said... I also made this wallet out of some leftover fabric. It turned out well but I have never used it. I do carry a purse and I like more. If I were doing my daily walking, as I am supposed to do, it would be great, I guess. I can also see that it might be just the ticket for someone who wants to stick it in a pocket and be on their way. 1/16/07 10:22 AM

Andalee said... How does the coin pocket work? I'm really curious to know how it keeps the coins in without a zipper. . . .
Thanks for the great review! 1/25/07 1:06 PM
leigh7911 said... Andalee - 2 pockets are sewn together about an inch on each side, leaving the middle open... It's hard to explain, but it really does work.
Nylon, eh folks? Will have to look into that and other fabrics. Thanks! 1/27/07 5:44 PM
