Leanne Garrity is back with another fantastic sewing project that makes us want to get the needle and thread out immediately. Leanne's shows you how to make the essential travel accessory for wanderers… a fabric wallet! Use Leanne's tutorial to sew up a simple fabric wallet in just ten steps using leftover fabrics, elastic, and a simple button! It's a great stashbuster project that's perfect for newbie sewers. This fabric wallet will store your loyalty cards, train tickets, pennies and more inside and can be whipped up in one evening. Plus they're small enough to fit into any handbag or pocket. Make yours using your favourite fabrics and once you've mastered the tutorial make some for your friends too. Or we think these fabric wallets would make a great Fathers Day gift for grumpy dads who always have loose change hanging about!
