Pulling the threads to the back is brilliant!

[@rosaswart7787]

Hi Jessica, I live in South Africa, in Kruger National Park. I love your inspirational videos. Due to back issues I was confined to camp for 6 weeks and made over 30 of your grocery bags which everyone absolutely loves. I just wanted to say thank you for making it so easy and such fun and for your enthusiasm which is a great inspiration.

[@analuisamom]

You take care of all the little details. Your hands move with the rhythm of art. Thanks a million!

[@jackyf3505]

I used a scalpel at work for years for display work and always used a steel rule. A 6" rule (very cheap) would be ideal for the card & zipper slots so no pressure doing it freehand. Nowadays you can get acrylic rulers with one fine metallic edge for using a blade too. That lovely Xacto set of yours deserves a couple of nice ruler companions. 🙂

[@susanyoder5427]

For the card slots I used a cheap vinyl shower curtain. Works great and its thin.

[@shellylemons]

I completely understand getting around people. We finally took a vacation trip to Gatlinburg!!! My husband never had been to the mountains and freaked when we went up to the cabins. I laughed so hard. He is a big man!! He was in awe of the mountains.

The best part is it comes with SVGs!! Woo woo

[@karinaagredano8099]

I love making these. For the inside lining I use HTV and also use my cricut maker to cut it out. Game changer.

[@angelac273]

You use Heat Transfer Vinyl for the inside lining?? HTV is not for sewing with.

[@MamaBanana]

@@angelac273 I think she meant it’s ironed on rather than used as a piece of fabric.

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Your videos are what I look forward to on a Monday. You can use a nail file to sand the edge paint. Thanks for all your videos during this pandemic. You definitely deserve a holiday. If I can eventually travel back to Florida, I will definitely take you for a trip to target, joannes and Michaels xxx

Omg FINALLY! WooHoo I’ve been waiting for this!!

[@MsChikis08]

Omg thank you for posting it, I’ve had this pattern for a while and have not made one yet

I would probably take a sharpie marker to finish the edges. #lazygirl

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@vikibobula8930]

I just found this tutorial, and this wallet type is my favourite. My last wallet, same type like Your Tutorial, was just great and I miss it so much. Only one different, the label side is instead an ID- holder- window, added. Not everyones Wallet and an Eyecatcher! Thanks a lot for sharing the processe of making this Great Wallet Style!

[@joannemartin8299]

I have made a bunch of these and love this pattern. I need more practice on my edge coating. I will not give up. 😊😁

They are sewwwww cute!

[@conniel.4601]

Quick patterns, thanks!

[@therealgr8typist]

My Home Ec teacher in the late 70s did not teach us to secure our seams and my mom was appalled. She learned to sew in the 40s and pulling the top thread loop to the underside is how she learned, so that's what she taught me. When my home ec teacher saw me doing that, she decided then was a good time to teach everyone how to backstitch.

[@ilzeellis8998]

Cutie patoeitie..... Hallo there, nice, nice love watching you create beutiful bags etc. 🤗

[@franceswegner6859]

Adorable

[@PhilbrookHandcrafted]

I love this pattern. It is a perfect gift and comes together quickly. I use landscape cloth for the card slots. I make the card strap wider in Cricut design space. Having the Cricut cut the pattern makes it faster and perfect.

[@cindyhouse9467]

what blade is necessary in the cricut to cut this type of vinyl

[@PhilbrookHandcrafted]

@cindyhouse9467 I use the fine point blade and cut with the non adhesive vinyl setting. I check to make sure it cut all the way through before unloading the mat.

[@sutela2060]

Awesome looks great❤ just started on wallets

[@lynetterene]

Liking it already girlie😊

[@jojowatergirl]

Love this! Thank you! Wondering if I can use the primer and paint for exposed vinyl edging on straps on bags?

[@sandrastephens1508]

[@sharonfeatherstone8219]

Hmmm - for the tab I would probably cut with a ruler and use the pattern for the rounded bit only. I would do this for any straight line.

[@sonialovesewing2396]

I've been wanting to make this but was afraid to. Leaving raw edges scares me cuz I'm not very good at it. Thank u for the tutorial, I will try it but I hv to purchase the pul fabric. Thank u for ur amazing teaching!

[@janetbailey4282]

lol I think you love playing with sticky tape........this could be tedious work for some, but your all into cut and tap and stick........love it

[@CharmingCheek]

Great tutorial!!! Come join us in the Linds Handmade group - lots of answers for some of these questions - and of course we all love the perspective Jess brings. I just adore the way Jess teaches us how to make these patterns. I have a a hack for using HTV on the back of these instead of using lining fabric. Love now it works.

[@Lisapittsburghnurse]

Jess, can you also do the fabric hack purse pal too?

[@lynetterene]

Yessss!!!!!

[@suesamara1]

That would be so helpful as I am a visual learner

[@dianebolles8534]

Thank you for another great vid. Do you think my Bernette b38 could sew through all those layers?

[@Aetheriea]

I kept wondering what edge paint was. I didn't know that's the weird stuff on the edges of my Disney card holder. Lol I was wondering what they used to seal those edges with. It felt like rubber. I definitely need to get some of this then. I wanted to try making some card holders to match my bags. xD Thank you for the awesome video! You make me want to buy the pattern and give it a try. :D

[@njhersch]

Where can I purchase the pattern templates for both the purse pal and pocket pal?

[@yoankadeangelo2024]

Hey Jess, I’ve been looking for the zip around small wallet video u mentioned in Instagram. Did u ever put that video out?

[@tiffanywilliams1990]

[@contagioncreationsnyc]

Does the applicator tip on the edge coat tool spin around or is it stationary?

[@tevegrl]

Love this!! Where do you buy your vinyl/cork from??? Love the prints you use!!

[@sallyturner1669]

In some of Linds other videos she uses ribbon for the card slots. Hope that helps someone.

[@karenpalmer9988]

In Linds video on making this she mentions you could use "Oly *Fun" which they sell at Walmart. I bought almost every color they had because it was on sale for $2.00 a Roll around the end of last year at my Walmart...It's reasonably priced, thin, and is used to make Grocery totes, etc... You should check it out if get the chance!

[@xoKayefox]

I would also rather edge paint than make crossbody straps lol!

[@bethdavis4673]

Do you use a top coat on the edge coating that you do?

[@bethdavis4673]

The bottles of paint for the edge painting, how long does the bottle seem to last?

[@stellanovawares7113]

You must have a new camera. It is like you are here in my living room. Crazy good camera

[@daneruser7980]

I have used only a marine grade vinyl. Will this work for this project or is it too thick?

[@marejensen8294]

on the tab if you TAPE the pattern piece down with masking tape then you can cut out your piece so much easier......if you don't have a cutting machine....

[@jessicastump2157]

Would you please share where the white and silver vinyl came from? I need it in my life!!! Thanks love!!

[@4buckeyegirl2]

Hi! How do you install your zipper pulls so effortlessly? I’m constantly struggling to get the pull in. Any adv?

[@paulajanegoolamhossen5603]

Hi I love your tutorials and have tried several of them. I do however feel sad you use vinyl or cork most times. I live in Mauritius and these are not available. So please please make some in woven I have enough problems obtaining the different interfacings/stablizers. I will still keep watching I learn so much from you. So thanks.

[@Lindsey8907]

What size metal snaps are these? There are three size options in the link posted.

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Do you feel the paper money slip pocket will hold the cash in securely? I've got the pattern but am hoping to hear those who have made it reassure me before I make it I guess. I was expecting some sort of tab or whatever to close over the side...thank you! I love the look and simple make aspects to it !

[@LindsHandmadeDesigns]

Yes! It’s my everyday wallet and when it’s filled with cards and coins, that slip pocket is pretty snug. I’ve never had cards or my cash fall out. Ever.

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

Yes, I’ve made two and it holds very well. I have been using mine now daily for about a month. 😉 I absolutely love it! Go for it!

[@Socialmolly1]

what size die and snaps do you use?

[@joyscranfield5527]

I've watched your video several times & like your little pouch more everytime. QUESTION-can it be made from other materials instead of vinyl? TY for sharing how it goes together, great job!

[@amyproffitt5496]

Where do you find the 2” ribbon? Or what else do you use for the CC?

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

The author of the pattern Linds uses landscaping fabric that she cut down. I personally didn’t have any so I tried two different things. I tried Muslim and 100% cotton and I ironed it very well and it looks fantastic no raw edges are showing since they are sandwich inside. Hope this helps you.

[@bullylover18]

Did you make an acrylic template for this pattern? If so, where can I buy it? I made my first bag, and want to make tons more, I am hooked now!

[@debrachandler610]

I just finished my first Purse Pal!! Love love love it!! But the depth of my card slots are too deep 😬 the CC disappear when I put them in. My question is, when putting the dst 1/2” up from bottom edge, do you place it with the top of the tape or bottom of the tape on the line?

[@CadenceRushQuibell]

I have the same question!

[@suzijames5601]

Would you use the base paint and edge paint for cork also or is that a different product?

Suggestions for other ways to paint the edges besides leather paint? Thx.

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Some folk colour the edge in a matching permanent sharpie pen....I have done that before and it has worn well over time but you don't get the coverage or shine that Edge Kote gives..but it does help blend in pale edges on darker colours etc.
