Sasha Zip Around Wallet sewing pattern - a fun way to sew your own wallet

  Let me introduce to you my Sasha zip around wallet sewing pattern.  The idea of this long wallet was suggested by a bff, Lin, who recently showed me her new LV monogram zippy wallet.  I am not a big fan of branded goods but was kind of interested with the design and size and how practical it is to use a wallet or clutch.  Lin suddenly suggested to me that I should turn it into a pattern.  Hmm... before she suggested that, I already have that in mind 😄😄😄  

Here it is, my Sasha Zip Around Wallet Sewing Pattern.

This is a feminine and functional zip around wallet that is really fun to sew. The design and size offers an array of practical features, including spacious compartments, a zipped coin pocket and multiple card slots. The all-round zip further secure your belongings. The comfortable size also allows you to store your phone and you can carry it like a clutch. All you need is your chosen fabrics to turn this sewing project into a magical clutch of your own.  

So, when are you going to have fun and  make yourself a Sasha wallet ?

Let's sew applique on your bag !

This is my way of sewing appliqué to my bag projects, without the use of freezing paper.  I am demonstrating appliqué sewing using my new Little House Round wallet Sewing Pattern (available now in my Etsy or Craftsy shop).  Hoping it would assist anyone who love appliqué sewing in their future works.  Have fun !  (^o^)v

1. Cut out the appliqué and outline the design as shown in photo below.

You will get the result below.  Sew according to the sequence provided by the sewing pattern.

(Tip : Do not cut out the bag body main fabric at this stage; normally the main fabric will shrink after sewing up the appliqué, I would suggest you to complete sewing up all the appliqués, then use the bag body pattern to re-measure main fabric and cut it at that stage)

2. Sewing the clouds (1) & (2)

Cut out the cloud patterns; transfer cloud (1) to its fabric.

At the same time, draw a ¼” seam allowance (red line). Cut out the cloud based on the seam allowance. 

(Tips :  for any appliqué pattern that is round in shape, always cut the fabric on the bias (photo below))

Note that I also give a little seam allowance (yellow line below) for me to sew Cloud (2) later.

Make small cuts at the curved in area of the cloud (photo below).

Pin cloud (1) onto the outline of main fabric.

  Use the needle to “scrapping” the seam allowance inward according to the outline then press it using your thumb.  Start sewing the cloud onto the main fabric (photo below).  Continue this process to complete the appliqué.

3. Sewing the chimney and trees.

If you have problem sewing mini item like the chimney, you can always embroider it.  Using Step (2), sew the trees onto the main fabrics.

4. To Sew the little house

Transfer one of the little houses pattern onto the appliqué fabric, remember to also draw the ¼” seam allowance (it doesn’t need to be perfect, highlighted below)

Using the same house pattern, outline as shown in photo below.

Using the same house pattern, outline as shown in photo below.

Pin and sew the appliqué fabric as shown below.

5. Sewing the roof top, Pattern (10)

Transfer roof top pattern onto its fabric, remember to include the seam allowance.  Cut out the fabric.  Make a few small cuts as highlighted in blue lines below. 

Pin and sew the fabric onto the outlined roof top (photo below).

6. Sewing the land

Transfer the land pattern to the main fabric and the appliqué piece( highlighted in photo below). 

Sew the land to get to the result below.  

Using embroidery thread, sew the smoke using running stitch.  

Re-measure the main fabric with the bag body pattern, cut out the main body fabric. (photo below).

The appliqué session for this sewing pattern is completed. Set aside. You are ready to start the bag making steps next. ^v^

Sew a fast and easy minimalist zipper wallet

Sew a very quick to make unisex zipper wallet using this pattern !

I designed and made this minimalist style unisex zipper wallet due to my husband’s request.  Before we went to Spain, my husband wanted a wallet that can easily allow him to put in his cash, coins and credit cards with handy pocket size.  There will be no hassle looking for wallet in his backpack when we were on our trip. 

After designing the size and template for this wallet, It took me about less than an hour to sew this wonderful wallet for him.  I used ticking fabric and thin cotton jeans-look-alike fabric, just to present a unisex look for this wallet (sometimes I can use it too ^v^).

All you need are just simple materials to start this sewing project and it surely is going to be great gift for your love one.

Very fashionable and girlish purse sewing pattern available in my Etsy now !

Last year in December, I made my 7^th visit to Japan , I like this country so much because it has so many ideas to offer to someone like me ^u^ .  I found that in Japan, most of them are using long purse with many compartments and card pockets.  This idea is really good as it keeps your money and personnel documents well organised.  Since then, the idea of making a long purse pattern has always in my mind.

And yesterday, I have completed this mission !!  (fulfilling) 

I have made this into a pattern because I know for sure a lot of friends out there will be so happy to have a unique purse made by themselves.  All you need to do is choose the fabrics you like and just start sewing using my pattern in my Etsy shop.

You can also change the strap to make this purse into a sling bag and it is going to be very stylish too

So here is my work …. *v*, I hope you will love the idea
