Last weekend I was fed-up with work and needed to do some craft so I made a friend a wallet for her birthday using Sew Christine’s tutorial.  I love the fabric I used in this project.  When choosing the fabric I took a couple of combinations to R and asked his opinion.  At first he was very decided that my safe option (the turtle fabric with the light blue spotty I used in my robot messenger bag)  was the best but then he emphatically decided that the riskier option was the only option.  i love that the spots go in the other direction inside the purse.

In this project I finally got around to using the Lamifix that I bought at this year’s Festival of Quilts.  I thought that if I made the outside of the wallet plastic then the wallet would be more durable.   The lamifix was pretty easy to use to get reasonable results although I think I need a little more practice.  I’m not sure I’d want to use it on large projects or ones where there is a lot of turning inside out though because once it gets creased you can’t get the lines out.
