Great card holder!

[@JanHowell]

Thank you!

[@dawnbrumfield7895]

Love this! I’m going to try one today! I would also love one that is sized for dollar bills!

[@JanHowell]

You can totally do this method for any size. Just determine how big you want it and account for the bills. I will have to draw one up when I get a chance.

[@carolg.6838]

Great idea

[@carolg.6838]

This is great and so little fabric, and fun putting fabrics together. Perfect for the gift card had a rosary case that was similar. Bet it would fit a book of postage stamps. I have a small plastic case for medicine that might fit too. I am trying to figure how to gusset the sides for more front to back room if needed.

[@JanHowell]

Great idea!

[@JanineKolasinski]

@@JanHowell I didn't install the KamSnaps until after this tutorial but I find them really hard to open. I'm thinking it's because it's not going through a lot of layers. Have you found that the snaps rips out or are hard to open? Do people add extra interfacing behind the snaps sometimes?

[@petro3441]

Thanx super smart idea

[@TWMAC2011]

Great idea! Was that a large pill organizer you used to sort and store your cam snaps?

[@JanHowell]

I got it at Joann. I think it was also used for embroidery thread. I knew when I saw it, what it would be good for. Keep your eye out.

[@glad1948]

do you prewash the material you use for small projects like this?

[@JanHowell]

No I don’t

[@karenpack8111]

What a quick project. Thanks for sharing. Which snap pliers do you recommend? I'm wanting to get one.

[@nicolepayton3620]

What was the tip about holding the top thread?! I missed that.

[@JanHowell]

If you hold the top thread for a few stitches when you start sewing, it will keep the thread from bunching up underneath, which doesn't look very good.

[@lynetterene]

I was going to make this with faux leather, that should be okay, right ☺️

[@JanHowell]

It should work great. Just make sure you are using a more durable needle. Maybe a needle for denim.

[@lynetterene]

@@JanHowell I sure will

[@lanejohnson703]

Hello Jan, I have a question for another golden girl who could have the same problem I do. I live in Arizona and summers are brutal here. Because fabric cost has gone to the moon I have been using sheet sets in different colors to make shirts and shorts. They work well. I am trying to sew a camisole to a sleeveless shirt but don't know how. I tried to stitch the strap to the shoulder, got 2 much bulk. What works?

[@JanHowell]

I’m not sure how to do that. Sorry.
