https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/the-perfect-wallet • Posted by Knittin' Kitten
I bought a beautiful shawl at the University of Borås in Sweden which has a great Textiles and Design school, but unfortunately only wore it once before it ended up in the washing machine, and then shrunk. So rather than throwing it away I decided to craft myself the perfect wallet - something I've never been able to find in shops. Here are my requirements: - At least twelve card slots - A large coin purse - Two slots for notes/vouchers/business cards - All zips together. So I made one, combining several tutorials I found for DIY wallets and adjusting it to my specifications. It's made from the shrunken shawl and some bits of plain cotton, along with chunky zips. I'm also pleased that I managed to incorporate the designer's button into the new wallet. It's far from perfect (if you look at it properly it's more trapezoid than rectangle!) but I like it anyway, and have had lots of compliments! Oh and the little pocket on the front is for my travel card so it's easy to access!
