Hey, sorry this isn't a great photo! I've been hunting around for old romance novels but everyone seems to have snapped them up so I've used pages from a comic book instead & just sewn up the sides using embroidery thread & added a big button. So far i've found that the best fastening to use is stick on velcro as it's neat & stands up to wear & tear pretty well. Hope you like my version! xxx

:) I love it. I might just make another with a comic book, now that I've seen it done. I hadn't even considered that. Lovely job. You sewed it by hand? How hard was that? The disadvantage with stick on velcro is it comes off pretty easily, especially if it's fallen off before.

Thanks! Yeah I sewed it by hand & it wasn't too hard as the pages of a comic book aren't too thick you just need to use a big needle (I used a darning one). I've tried using press-studs as a fastening before but after a while they tend to rip the wallet so that's why I chose velcro for this one but I may have to add a few stitches just to secure it!
