I’m so ready for this semester to be over, and I’m almost there. I have 2 papers to write before Wednesday and an oral presentation the Monday after Thanksgiving. Then finals. I can’t wait for this semester to end!! Did I say that already?? :)
Yesterday I was sitting at home. Tanner was grumpy because he didn’t get enough sleep the night before, and I was feeling icky with morning sickness. (Why does morning sickness have to last all day?!) I really had no desire to write about The Question of Hu, a book I had to read for my history class. So, I decided to make something.
Usually, my desire to make something translates into cooking something, but I’ve been reading a lot of craft blogs lately, and I really wanted to sew something. So I did. And I love it.
Here, check it out!
Sorry for the horrible pictures. I broke my camera just before Halloween, so these were taken with my cell phone. Not so great, I know. (But now you know what to get me for Christmas, right? wink, wink)
I’m not typically a gift card giver. I think they are impersonal and frankly, they are cop-out gifts. (Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George give Elaine cash for her birthday?)
I’m just not a fan of a gift card as a stand alone gift. Make this cute wallet, and the gift card doesn’t have to stand alone! :)
I made this as a test run, and I’m happy with it, except for the stripes that didn’t line up properly, but whatever. It fits very easily in my back pocket, very nice for trips to Sea World or the zoo…
I’ll be making several more of these before Christmas…
Here are the instructions! http://verypurplestuffs.blogspot.com/2009/10/mini-wallet-tutorial.html
(Keep in mind that all the measurements are in CENTIMETERS, not inches!)

Kara you are so talented! I love it. I may have to try it out. Makena has been wanting a wallet(for what I don't know).
