you have been my love for so long…but it is time to say goodbye!
I was in major need of a new wallet. The zipper on my old one was no longer working well and the phone slot was completely ripped causing my phone no longer stay in it. While I loved the size of my old one, I needed one a tiny bit bigger. I liked having my cell phone on the outside of my wallet, but I thought it needed a strap to hold my phone in and maybe keep little hands off it(maybe). This time I also wanted a separate little zipper pouch for all my money and change and a separate holder for my credit cards. I think it would make things easier for me when I’m in line at the good old Walmart. Yes, I do put a lot of thought into my purses.
So here is what I came up with. My new little love. I combined all of the things I wanted into one little wristlet. I still need to make the little zipper pouch for my money and the holder for my credit cards, but I will be leaving those for another day.
So here she is, in tangerine of course and with some ruffles, my newest favorite thing!
Oh yes, I do believe, there will never be another purchase from Vera Bradley again.

I have a Vera Bradley and I love it (I have a friend that sells them so she leaves them cheaper to me =) ), but who needs Vera Bradley when you can custom make your own, right? I love yours, is so bright and vivid, I just love it!

I love it! That would be so handy for a quick run in the store. I hate hauling around a big ol' bag!

Aww thanks for the sweet blog comment. Talk about loving blogs — I'm pretty well obsessed. This little wallet — to freaking cute. Goes on a someday after the holidays list.

Nikki says
Can we get a pattern or tutorial…please?
I could use one one of those.
Krista S. says
So I've still been dreaming of making this 🙂 I have been following you for a while so I know that you have not been feeling well. Would you mind if I tried something like this? Maybe made my own tutorial for my blog? I have never make a tutorial and was thinking this could be my first. Please let me know because I would hate to step on any toes, especially yours 🙂 Have a great day!
