In return for letting me stay at her place and showing me around the city, I whipped up a little wallet from the Bend the Rules Sewing book. Despite my love for the book, and the book's author, it is full of errors. Luckily, I thought to visit the flickr message boards to find some really good advice... like adding a half inch in width! (Make sure you do it!) Although the wallet turned out pretty well, there were a few little details I wasn't happy with. I'd totally make another one, but make a few changes to the pattern. For example, I felt like the length of the wallet was too long. When I folded it up I didn't like the resulting shape. Oh well.
Because I wasn't super completely happy with the end product, and because I'm a bit of a perfectionist... I decided to just sew up a few napkins with the left over material and gift those as well.
Check out that monster cupcake from Crumbs.
