Sooo, I’m starting a new job on Thursday (cheers!) and I’ll be happily giving up the weight of my car keys for a bus pass!  That being said, I need a new wallet, one with a pretty little clear window so that I can flash my bus pass with ease and pride!  Last night, circa 1am, I was looking for a new pattern on Craftsy and I came across this one by Birdiful Stitches.  I downloaded the pattern, printed the template, and got to work!

If I make another one, there are quite a few changes I would make, but I’m pleased with the result!  It was my first time installing a zipper like so, and using that style of snap, so I can’t complain.  I would not recommend the pattern if you’re a beginner sewist - I’d say the instructions are more like guidelines and there are quite a few “educated” assumptions you need to make.

And I love anything that Phillip Jacobs makes for Westminster.

Happy Sunday morning sewing! I made myself a zippered pouch with Phillip Jacobs’ ‘English Rose’ in red. I know this line for Westminster is older, I think 2009, but I’m obsessed with it.
