Speaking of Friday night … don't forget to sign up for the September Friday Night Sew-In and then lock yourself in your sewing room tomorrow night and sew, sew, sew! I'm hoping to make another skirt. At the very least, I'm going to clean up the disaster that currently resides where my sewing room used to be. Click the FNSI graphic below to open up the sign-up page.
Random number generator NEVER picks #1, but hey... it's worth a try! I LOVE the wallet!! Found your blog through Crafty Cupboard and can't wait to explore yours more. I support our troops!!!! : )

ReplyDeleteLooooove this pattern! I really want to give it a try with some of my scraps.
ReplyDeleteI am usually a lurker but I did want to comment for a few reasons. First, I would like to win the pattern since it would make great presents for Christmas. Secondly, congratulations on the new job that you seem to love! Finally, I follow your blog and am so happy for your weight loss and love to see your clothing that you both make and purchase. It's realistic that most of us still buy close since we don't have the time to make everything. Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Any thoughts on doing patterns for the purses that you have made? I love those too since they look very practical.
Ooo... I hope I win! I've been eyeing your wallet pattern and plan to get it-- but winning it and some fabulous fabric would be so much better. :)
ReplyDeleteI wanna win BADLY! Gimme, gimme! :-) The wallets made from it look fab.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a copy of the wallet pattern.

I have been following your blog since Peter from MPB got his shirt for Michael from you. Congrats on the weight loss as well, I am on a low carb way of eating too and have lost 6 pounds in two weeks. It works! Oh and one more thing Oooh Rah! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks
Shelly
I love your choice of fabrics, especially the poca dots. The pattern looks very user friendly and Id love to try it!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the wallet pattern giveaway; watched as you made and adjusted until it was just right. I am amazed at how quickly you whip up all your projects, and the amazing ideas that pop out of your head. So glad that life is driving a better course for you, even though a bump or two in the road still happens.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to get a job that you like too.
Joy in Palmland
I think your wallet design is fabulous and I would LOVE to win! I really need a new wallet!
ReplyDeleteI like the wallet, too. Thinking Christmas gifts. Put my name in the generator, too, please.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say how great your job sounds. And I wouldn't mind having that cute fabric combo to try the wallet pattern (which I already have). I currently have a bright pink leather wallet. It was such a revelation to get a brightly colored wallet (as opposed to black), since I can always find it in my purse!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the Crafty Cupboard and new subscriber. Love this little wallet and would love too win! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI would love the wallet pattern. It looks so great (Mine will have to be Army though!)
ReplyDeleteIt is time for FNSI and I am watching my machine stitch out an embroidery design and blog hopping. I just came across your blog while looking for wallet patterns/tutorials and I see that you are having a give away of your wallet pattern. I absolutely love the design of this wallet and would love a chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

BTW: My son is in the Air Force and is currently deployed to Iraq.
It's a great looking wallet, I'd love to win a copy of the pattern!
ReplyDeleteI came over from the Crafty Cupboard- this wallet is the biggest I've seen. I really like it. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the wallet. Crafty Cupboard used very cute fabric and of course your fabrics are cute too. I would LOVE to win!! Great review Crafty Cupboard!
ReplyDeleteI have been a big fan [stalker] for years and I love your wallet so much that I am hoping for my random number to come up!! Thank you so much for all the timeand photos you put into you blog. I have learnt many new twists to sewing. Cheers, Lydia XO
ReplyDeleteThis wallet is amazingly adorable! I would even trade in my all time favorite hardcase wallet for it - and that's saying something! Thanks for sharing at Crafty Cupboard!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win!! Or figure out how to buy the pattern.. I really need a new wallet, but since I'm on a sewing kick I just can't get the motivation to buy an expensive one, since I can make it myself!
ReplyDeleteOH, me, me, me!!! I wanna win!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, fun! I'd love to make that wallet.
ReplyDeleteGreat review from the Crafty Cupboard! The wallet turned out wonderful and I like the idea of grabbing and going with just the wallet.

Sooo cute, would love to win and love that's it's from a marine mom, I'm an Air Force kid.
ReplyDeleteBest.
The pattern is such an adorable pattern. I Just love it!

ReplyDeleteoh goodness.. I would love to win .. I have not won anything yet.. but it is getting close to my time.. I can feel it. :) I can see me making those for Christmas gifts too. Melanies fabrics are so cute.
ReplyDeleteYour wallet is adorable! I'd be so happy to win the pattern! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! She did a great job!
ReplyDeleteWonderful wallet!
This looks great! I need a new wallet - I'm still searching for the perfect one. Maybe making one is the answer!
ReplyDeleteFound you through Crafty Cupboard and would love a shot at making one of those darling wallets for me. And perhaps all the women on my gift list this year..... ;) Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, since I've moved I have not even taken out my sewing machine. By now, I am almost afraid to. I am really particular about my wallets and this project might just prompt me to finally get out the machine. Soo...winning will accomplish 2 things for me: a great new wallet, and maybe I'll get back to sewing!
ReplyDeleteincahgneetoh@yahoo.com
Awesome... I am just going to wander around and look at your blog while wondering why my daughter is throwing her freshly cleaned dresses on the floor.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the wallet looks really cool. Would love to make it if given a chance. :)
Am I too late to enter the drawing? I hope not! I've been wanting to make one of these little wallets for a Loooong time... I would be so happy to win!
ReplyDeletekimdodds42402@yahoo dot com
Love the wallet. I've never made a wallet, but have outfitted the inside of my purse with virtually everything else. I think it's high time for a wallet!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and functional wallet! I think there is a spot for everything!
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes,
Ann
Debbie, congratulations on your pattern. The wallet looks fantastic. I'd love to win the pattern. The most important thing I want to say is to thank you for all your wonderful, educational articles.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! Love the endless fabric possibilities.
ReplyDeleteOOOOO BABY! I love this pattern! I really hope the Random Generator picks me, because I really want to make this walllet, it will be my first ever wallet sewn by my hands.
ReplyDeleteI been trying to make several wallets, but your pattern is the best & I'd love to win it! All the pockets are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this - I am in desperate need of a new wallet and I found your pattern and it fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteSusan
Marine wife here & I love the wallet!
ReplyDeleteLove this wallet. I already have tons of scraps. I've already added the pattern to my Etsy favorites.
ReplyDeleteLove the wallet Debbie, and maybe will make it for Christmas pressies this year if I can get my act together!!! Lots of ladies in the family to make wallets for, starting with 4 dd's and all the extra family from in-laws and outlaws and ?{gasp}? grandson's girlfriends!! Can't believe my sweet little grandson is in his second year of uni and has a steady girlfriend. As does the 18 yo grandson. So as I said lots of wallets to sew if I make them for pressies!
ReplyDeleteLove that pattern! Thanks for offering the giveaway! So cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fantastic wallet! I would love to win.
ReplyDeleteLove It!! just the type of wallet I need all the room for discount cards. Awesome fabric choices too.
