My new wallet!

Wonder Woman · 01-02-2009, 06:51 PM

Finally, starting a new year off right

I finished a UFO I've had sitting around for the longest time.

My new wallet - I wish my sewing skills were better for the interior of it, but I'm the only one who sees that anyway. It's just large enough to hold my debit cards, library card, and my business cards...you know, life's little essentials.

It's Bargello embroidery on 22ct cotton cloth, then the edging is hand sewn although I machine stitched the lining. Made it as a rectangle, folded it over, included a clasp. There's about 35 hours of stitching in this.

Back View, opened to show more of the stitching....

very pretty!

Wonder Woman · 01-02-2009, 07:04 PM

thank you - I feel really relieved to have it done

Most ufo's I never finish

but this one I really wanted to, so I sat down yesterday, this morning, then tonight after work and finished it

Wonder Woman · 01-03-2009, 09:16 AM

I started this in a fit of frustration last year when I was desperate to meet other crafty people...sort of like a Masonic handshake or something

Something people would see and feel free to comment on if they were crafty

Then I met up with an embroiderer's guild, and a knitting group, so I stopped working on it. I went out this morning to the post office and pulled it out to pay for mailing a package and the clerk whose been there almost every time I've been in there the last 12 years went

Did you make that?! and we spent 20 minutes talking crafts, and want to plan a get together now to craft

Mission accomplished!
