Well i resently moved in to my new house and my sewing machine hasnt arrived yet. The problem is I was just itching for a project so I scavanged at my local hobby store and designed my own wallet.
**If you dont feel comfortable using iron adhesive to keep your fabric together fabric glue works too.
**When buying the interfacing make sure it is doublesided with iron adhesive.
**remember hand sew when you need to have a little extra strength.
