Absolutely love your patterns and how you teach...I have made the Marilyn Wallet(the best) , Demi and the Cleanup Clutch..love them all...now I will buy and make this one...Please MORE patterns..I am 74 and love to learn, you are a great teacher...Barb
Just found you & got several of your patterns, exactly what I was looking for for all the leather & cork I have. Thank you for exceptionally well written patterns with excellent, clear videos Lindsey!
It all came with your download. There were separate files for the cutting files and the pdf with the written instructions and printable pattern pieces.
Big fan of all your patterns. Tackling the Pocket Pal today. It is my first time sewing cork. I have a Microtex needle, what is your suggested stitch length? And is it ok to use Cotton thread as that is all I have on hand? Thanks for your time
You don’t have to use ribbon. You can use any thin material that folds nicely and doesn’t add bulk. Ribbon is just non-fraying and simple to use is all.
Just purchased your pattern and watched your tutorial. I want to use cotton quilting fabric for my cards slots instead of ribbon. Should i do anything to the edges of the fabric before attaching?
I love your designs and esp this wallet. Am buying a Juki2010Q soon so I can make more walllets/purses. What foot do you use on your Juki for this wallet? Looks like the same foot for everything including the zipper? Thx
The one in the video is a walking foot machine so it requires a different foot than the 2010q, I’m sorry. I’m just using the standard foot that came with my machine. I never swap out to a zipper foot unless I need to get in tight next to something, lol.
Love your wallet, I have a Juki 1181n as well, just not used it yet, but I think I might just try your pattern out on it. Can you post where you get your thread too please and what type. Thank you.
It’s more the sharpness of your blade thats most important over the brand. I make sure to change it out regularly, especially if I find myself pushing down really hard or going over the same cut multiple times....
Hi! Just bought the svg! I'm so excited. Where do you find the cool little hardware to add the strap to make it a wristlet? And the little metal label??
I LOVE this pattern! Thank you for this and the tutorial. I have a question. I’ve made three and my lining doesn’t get caught in the top stitching around the wallet at the end stage. Any tips? I’m sewing it at 1/8th so what I did was did two rows of top stitching. But how can I avoid this. Thanks so much!
Yes! Actually I recommend cutting those little “v’s” in the corner SMALLER so the opening ends of narrower. The problem lies with big snips and cutting that opening bigger than the half inch your cutting in the cork/leather/vinyl portion.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns that helps with the zipper slot. What about when sewing around the perimeter, how can you make sure the lining gets stitched too?
@@MJewelry10 make sure the lining is only ⅛” shorter on all edges and then sew ¼” from the edge and lastly trim down. Doing this ensures I always catch the liner.
Im new so i have questions..whats the difference between a spring snap,a chicago screw or a cam snap? Also what type of paint do you use? Leather type paint?? Thx u
A spring snap goes by many different names but it’s for lighter applications like a decorative snap on a button up shirt for example. More people have heard of a line 20 or 24 snap but those are for more heavy duty applications like thicker leather products etc. Kam snaps are those little plastic snaps you find on stuff like cloth diapers. I use Giardini brand edge paint or there are plenty edge paints available at your local leather shop or amazon. If you want to click the amazon link in the description box I posted for a spring snap kit, you can at least SEE what they look like so you know what you’re looking for. Hope that helps!
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thx u so much! I started watching more of your videos and learning more,i also ordered some of the snaps you had linked! Loving your videos!! Thx u
For my leather projects I LOVE Ecoweld, it’s a water based adhesive that I got from my local Tandy and works really well for stuff like this. I don’t recommend it for vinyl or cork though. You’ll want to stick with something like FabriTac for those.
Tina hale you can use a leather rotary punch to cut those out (amazon or Tandy leather has them) but in this case I used a stand alone 5/32” leather punch
I like the leather tape from wawak dot com. But the stuff from Tandy leather is just as good and is better for domestic machines in that it causes less gumming of the needle.
