Necessary Wallet

I finished my latest Necessary Clutch Wallet from Emmaline Bags. I love this pattern and this wallet. It has so much room for stuff in such a small place. I carry one to match my Summer purse. I can save all my receipts and store my coupons in one pocket. It will hold my iPhone and change and bills and checks and my Square card reader… so much stuff!

I mean, look at that. Isn’t that cute? I know. I didn’t match the stripes, but I would have had to waste fabric and I have a really hard time with that. I love the fabric. It looks like tiles. It’s so bright and cheerful! Isn’t that pattern great?

Look at all these pockets.

There are lots of card slots for credit/debit cards, gift cards, business cards, etc. The fabric is Fiesta Tiles Royal which you can find here. I have on affiliation with Fabric.com, just a customer.

I made the coin pocket in a bright coral orange so I can see inside easily.

This is the outside of the wallet opened up.

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful. I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items. Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle. View all posts by denise
