cash zipper wallet

My friend has been using the cash envelope system for years now and still uses paper envelopes in her purse, this doesn't bother her but for some reason it bothers me.....haha.   So in my search for my perfect wallet, in the previous post, I found this tutorial for exactly what I needed to make!
I couldn't find the fabric I liked in laminated cotton so I bought the iron on vinyl and it worked out fine, although it seemed I spent more time ironing than any other step, but it was worth it to have a wipe-able surface.  I used different color zippers to color code the envelopes i.e. pink is for clothing/accessories and green is for grocery shopping......  I hope she likes it as much as I do!

love the birdie sling

I made the Amy Butler Birdie Sling for my Mother -in-law, she chose the colors and fabric, fantastic Amy Butler choice don't you think?

I enjoyed using this pattern, it took some time but the finished product is well worth it, the bag is lined and has fusible fleece inside so it has a nice weight to it. The strap is one piece so it fits nicely on your shoulder and you don't have that one pesky strap that always falls off to deal with.

For those of you who are not familiar with Amy Butler and her products I would encourage you to check out her web site, its full of sewing inspiration. http://www.amybutlerdesigns.com/
