A Finished Sewing Object

Posted by Teaandcakes on Jan 27 2007 | Crafty things

Last week I mentioned something that I’d made that I couldn’t post yet, but now it’s all good to show you.
A friend is heading off travelling for a few months, and I wanted to make something useful as a leaving gift. I had the idea in my head for a while, and after lots of sketches I decided to just go ahead and make it. I was pretty surprised that it worked as well as it did.

I present to you, Travel Wallet:

Here’s the all important inside view:

It’s made from a soft but tough brushed cotton in a variety of colours, and has pockets inside for a passport, for tickets/booking information etc, and a small one for stamps or cards (hostel membership, phone cards etc etc).

    Well done, Isobel. That wallet is really great. I’ve sewn a bit before, but never done anything as complicated as that. Not sure if I could.
