Thanks for the heads up on this Pati. They even have no shipping
charges for patterns mailed to overseas customers. That is good news
for us furinners. I have placed my order already

I do not have that pattern, but I do have a similar
leather coin purse to serve the same purpose. One thing
I like is that it has a small tab and a split ring for
a key. This ring is quite useful. I often attach it to
a carbiner (SP? ... clasp thingie) to secure the little
purse to a belt loop or in side my larger bag. You
could add this feature to your homemade purse too. PAT

Also, you can't make just one Wonder Wallet! By the time you've made 8 or
10 the price of the pattern per wallet is pretty cheap!

it is a great little wallet. Took me about half an hour the first time I
made one. G
Please support the designers. VBG It takes a lot to get a pattern out
on the market. A lot of time, practice prototypes, $$$ to get the pattern
printed and packaged and marketed. It may seem like a lot for a pattern,
but the designer only makes a profit of a few cents on each one,
especially if they go through a distributor. (And I believe almost all of
Joan's go through a distributor.)

Unfortunately you can't download the pattern but have to buy on line
which makes it $8.00 plus postage.

Has anyone made this wallet? Was it easy? Do you use it? Do you like it?
Have you used it as a gift and did your giftee like it????

If anyone has a pattern that is online and similar, could you please let
me know and send the line to my email?

Thank you!

I made a Wonder Wallet for my DDIL & added colored cording so she could wear
it over her shoulder. She really likes it. Some have added elastic so they
have a wrist wallet. There is no end to the different ways you can
personalize this wallet. Guess you can tell I love Wonder Wallets!

I've been looking for bag patterns having seen lots of people with
gorgeous bags at quilt shows, so I've bought one or two things. Cheaper
than going to my LQS who probably wouldn't have them anyway!

Now all I need is time - couldn't see a section to buy some of that!

If you eventually find it, Sally, could you please give me the link?
Thank you very much - I will of course reciprocate!

(I actually bought a bag pattern from Monkey Buttons at the NEC. I
haven't made a bag before - I know I could just have made it up, but I
liked the pattern and I know Mandy!!)

I have made the wallet, it's about 30 minutes and very little fabric to
make, it's very nice and I enjoy it. Haven't made one as a gift yet and I
haven't seen one that is similar. It's a nice, simple small wallet. The
price is worth the ease of instruction in Joan's patterns. I love the Lazy
Girl designs!

I have been looking for a new handbag for about 2 years! I thought the
Towne bag with all its compartments might be the solution. I really need
a suitcase!

I have actually got 3 books of bags - must like bag pictures!

I never made one, but my favorite wallet right now is a Vera Bradley
I.D. case. It holds money, credit cards, with a window for I.D. I
don't do zippers, but other than that it doesn't seem that hard to
make. Check it out on that site or on ebay.

With all this chat about the "Wonder Wallet", I had to go to the Lazy
Girl website today and order it....... sounds like a great little gift,
especially since it's FQ friendly and only takes 1/2 an hour!! I really
do like Lazy Girl Designs, they're really fun, super easy to make, and
cute!
