My New FAVORITE Wallet Pattern?! Let's Make The Small Amelia Envelope Wallet from Miss Freckles!

[@bccabernet]

Great tutorial! You are such a good teacher. You don't just show us how to sew it; you also provide us with tips of what to not do, what is the best way to sew, and what to do if things go awry. I've wanted one of these, but to add a small strap to it. This way if I am going on a short trip somewhere, I don't have to carry my purse or my cards in my pocket. I'd have a small wallet to wear as a crossbody and go. It would also be great to wear under your jacket if walking. Thank you for posting this!

[@engien460]

Choice of colours what you choosing always make me happy. I watch your videos before going sleep abd waik up on morning full of ideas 💡. Have notepad next to my bed and as soon I waik up I drew them and write my ideas . Thanks !!! Simplest things can inspire 😉.

[@tylermiller1540]

Started this up on the tv and my 10 month old son smiled, giggled and crawled to the tv. You've got a tiny little admirer! (We watch a lot of your videos together.)

[@OklaRoots]

Awwwww give them a big hug from me!!

[@billieclark1661]

As always, what a great tutorial. I bought this pattern many months ago. I watched your video again. I am ready to make it! Thank you for all the great tuts and sharing your skills with us. And I love the final product of the one in the video, just so stinking cute!!

[@rosarodriguez5642]

Beautiful workmanship and infectious attitude!

[@malley4747]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. Wonderful. I found making the inside zipper pocket a hair smaller helped me so the sides didn’t poke out as much. Great pattern for sure!!!

[@Heathers_Handbags]

I loved how you explained the zipper pocket. Even reading that I did not get how you explained it. Thank you!!!

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

Oh my gosh.. you always have the cutest fabric and vinyl!!!! I MUST have this!!! Thanks Jess... you're such an inspiration 🦋

[@OklaRoots]

Have fun Amy!

[@jenniferanderson2307]

Love your videos. You always make everything look possible to make for me. I am moving past beginner. I now have so many things I can do now thanks to you

[@Heathers_Handbags]

So I've made this and then I made three more. And I made my own acrylic templates. You can go to the dollar store and get the plastic cutting mats, which works the same way. Thank you for sharing I really enjoyed this video and the pattern.

[@djeoutdoors]

I love this pattern. I do not sew vinyl though and my quilted cotton wallets turn out great. I do you use a pinking rotary blade and pinking shears to help with freeing and one of my other favorite tools is a roller press. I do a lot of quilted fabric and recommend these options. Thank you Jess for another great tutorial. ❤️

[@ladypinkbagsetc.9116]

Beautiful wallet and great tutorial as always. I am buying my pattern today! I absolutely love your channel. I am retired so it makes my day when I see a new video has been put up. Thank you so much for sharing your love and knowledge of sewing. Happy Holidays to you and yours. 💖

[@OklaRoots]

Awww thank you so much!! Let me know when you make this one!

[@jillbruce3624]

Oh wow. I just purchased this pattern on Etsy after seeing so many cute ones made up. I was shocked when I saw that the pattern is 32 pages. Holy moly. Can I use cork for the exterior? I have not ever sewn with vinyl and enjoy sewing with cork. Thank you for the great video as always.

[@elizabethtallman8563]

So, I watch Jess's tutorial. I go by the pattern. I go by the Sewfuse plus. Now I am going to buy some cute vinyl and fabric. I do this almost Every week. I need intervention!!

[@claudiao7477]

I would love acrylic templates too! Great pattern Great tutorial.

[@shelliemac7001]

OH MY WORD!! That pink one is just ridiculously cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Bought the pattern as I’m gonna give this a go and add it to my mums Christmas pressie. Thank you for the tutorial. I really appreciate all the work you do for these videos. You’re a wee star. Thank you for sharing the discount XXXXX

[@annguglielmino8989]

This will be my fifth make. Numbers one and two were disasters and go on my Where I Started wall, three and four are usable but not sellable. I am just going to keep making stuff till then skillz perfect themselves. Thank you for your brilliant tutorials....they help a lot.

[@helenosullivan1191]

Love to make this wallet, enjoyed your tutorial Thankyou for easy way you demonstrate the making of this fabulous wallet…💜🧚🏿‍♂️🦋💙

[@tinau74]

As soon as I got my pattern I made an all-cotton version so I can get the hang of the process. As soon as I finished I realized that this can function as a small clutch. Fits my iphone mini (the side gusset will stick out a little bit) and with cards and some cash I can go out on errands just with this. Will make another with vinyl exterior next, cant wait!

[@lindajoy3883]

LOVE this wallet pattern! Will be my new fav too! Ingenious construction and the result is great. Much cleaner than the NCW. Thank you for showcasing this!! As always!

[@OklaRoots]

Isn't it great? I love the little tweaks to get those natural curves, without making it hard to sew.

[@pj89-96]

I LOVE those fabric choices!! My niece would love that wallet, it's so cute!!😘

[@OklaRoots]

Didn't it turn out great?? I don't even think it's just the fabric I chose, this wallet just really makes material look good.

[@patriciahorvath1137]

As Always Amazing Instructions, so clear and easy to follow! Thank you so much!

[@Kristinford]

Oh my gosh I have been working on this for over a week and just now seen you had a video, I’m excited to see this

[@Noskipstitch]

😯 Jess U blow my mind away! This is absolutely beautiful. Great fabric choices 👌 I never was a fan of Mondays but I catch myself thinking...I hope Monday comes along quickly to see what Jess will do next 😄 Thank u Jess sew much 😘

[@OklaRoots]

Awwww that means so much to hear Sonia! Thank you!

[@crystalherrin7858]

Watched your other wallet videos. And now this one! Ordered pattern and supplies! Can't wait! Great video as usual! Thank you!

[@bridgetjones8339]

I really admire anyone that can do this! Not sure if I’m ready to tackle this or not but these are so cool.

[@suzieburke6237]

Thank you. My first wallet and in my new sewing room.(a long year wait) but so worth it. Hope to make many if them. Yeah. Thank you.💜

[@melaniekloster5059]

I’ve made one of these already but your video was really a huge help!! I appreciate your attention to details! Have the next one cut out and ready to roll. Oh and I do sell these…the one I make tomorrow will go into a booth I have in a store where I live! The other ones I have sold online. You are awesome!! Thanks!!!

[@Millie.Daze.]

What price do you place on them?

[@believe53787]

Adorable and well explained, as always! I’d love to see you make a large utility tote. They are so versatile but so expensive.

[@mrs.birdman_3233]

I just finished one of the wallets and it came out amazing I love them. I’m actually going to make more thank u for the tutorials and I will be trying the longer one too. Thanks again

[@karenlittle2905]

Love it!!!!! I can see myself doing it all -- except that snap! It looks like a bit of a nightmare to me.

[@ms.maureen2925]

I can see these being a hit this Christmas! Going to get my pattern now! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@OklaRoots]

Have fun!

[@wendy833]

This is so cute! I really like the fabric choices you picked.

[@cazkiwinz4300]

You’re so cute, I really enjoy your videos and your personality (in a non-creepy way, haha, I love sewing bags! lol) 🤗🤗🤗 TY for sharing your talent and enthusiasm! :)

[@JDC-l3l]

Thank you so much for another fantastic tutorial. I am buying the pattern ASAP! Can you share with us what music you selected to play while you sew? The guitar is just beautiful!

[@marygrace7538]

Hey Jess … such a cute wallet .. already got my pattern and picking out my vinyl while I watch your video. As always a great tutorial.

[@OklaRoots]

Yay!! Let me know how it goes!

[@marygrace7538]

now that I am halfway thru my 2nd wallet (a January birthday gift) It would be awesome to have a template set.

[@nataliemacdonald7695]

So stinkin' cute! I'm on my way to get this pattern...

[@dorothymasterson57]

Hi Jessica. I would like to know if one was to use RFID fabric … where and how would you put it in a wallet. Didn’t know if you had used this before? There is an RFID fabric that is fusible and I was wondering if it was used as a backing in card slots - could it just be in back of credit card slots (cut to fit the finished slots) OR a piece has to be placed the length of the wallet instead. Thank you for your time in making these tutorials.

[@rebekahkui]

Oh man that is such a cute wallet!! It's very smart to pattern it like a book binding, and many wallets are made with that little extra on the curve. I'm going to make this my next make, and hopefully more lol. Thanks for the great tutorial Jess!

[@OklaRoots]

Have so much fun!!

[@micheledeanda4854]

You helped walk me through the zip wallet, but I just could NOT sew the zipper on smoothly. I gave up! I'm going to try this one. Say a prayer for me...🙏

[@trumpet6443]

I loved your absolutely excellent tutorial. I will be making many of these! I would be very interested in the Mae Glasses pouch by Miss Freckles, the shape of it is fantastic!

[@OklaRoots]

Thanks Heather! I bought that pattern as well, I'm excited to try it!

[@amandabomboy2244]

Hey Jess so I have my pattern, but by chance can you do a video using option A where the outside is all one fabric?

[@amandalisbony953]

Cute wallet. Looking forward to trying it out.

[@annmcdonald8319]

I was considering making myself a meraki backpack and this wallet would look super cute with that!!!

[@OklaRoots]

OMG that would be an ADORABLE combo!!

[@kristinhansbury5221]

That so totally would!

[@kendradilka3761]

Oh darn!! I finally got to sit down and watch this one! I love it and want it! I’m too late for the discount though! 🤣 Just my luck!

[@ahhhlex.h]

I purchased this pattern when it came out and It didn’t come out good 😩🤣 I used waterproof canvas for the lining and I just ended up throwing it away, but now watching this video now I know what I did wrong. Trying it again. Thank you 😊

[@dawnhill2508]

I totally need that Star Wars Vinyl!!!!! OMG!

[@erinstevenson8395]

Me too! I haven’t had any luck finding Star Wars vinyl.

[@ShaynaKrause]

You inspire me.

[@kellybumgardner5492]

Any excuse to use my rivet press (that I just had to get based on your video). thank you again for all of the work you put into these tuts and as always I love your energy ! ❤️

[@lelagoodwin312]

I’m new to your videos but I love them.

[@UnicornPastelPrincess]

That Star wars fabric is so awesome =)

[@jarkadejmkova8966]

Great video, I have already bought the instructions, so I'm really looking forward to sewing.

[@OklaRoots]

Have fun!

[@boonchilla]

I made this wallet tonight and had a lot of trouble. I used vinyl for the outside. Quilted cotton on the inside, I did heavy stabilizer for the outside pieces of the wallet. I followed the pattern like you showed in your video., I'm not sure why I had so much trouble with the vinyl as it got bulkier. Really disappointed because I thought this wouldn't be so bad. Any advice for the next time I use vinyl? Thanks in advance.

[@lindagraff7820]

Just had to buy the pattern. Just sewed me Demi Wallet and was not 100% good, but nice enough for me. But mom wants an equally small one and this one is perfect. 😊 I think I have to make one for myself too😂 But i have looked on several great videos you make where you put on the zipper pull, I’m wondering how you manage that without there being any particular hole in the middle? (Right next to the zipoerhead) So much easier to sew when both ends of the zipper are properly together😊 Can't make it ...

[@shariwatson9030]

I just tried it bot my outer vinyl was too stretchy and I am not happy BUT you have motivated me to try again

[@mechellewinslow65]

I need to make more! I love it!

[@sylwry7604]

Are you saying Quil or Quilt cotton? What is the difference from a cotton that’s might be sold at Walmart?

[@CharmingCheek]

Sooooo cute! Anyone know where I can buy more time so I can make this AND the stationary folder?

[@estellamiranda9273]

I love it! I bought the pattern! Thank you!🙌❤️

[@natalierausch1769]

Hi Jess I was just wondering, if you have done the winterberry wallet

[@karenaaguilar2249]

Hi Jess I was wondering if you have to per-wash your fabric before you make a bag or wallet if you are using a interface on quilt cotton? Thank you!

[@Quilt4Joy]

Oooohhhh Nooooo, working on a wallet from one of your other videos, but I want to make this one now. 🥰

[@melodierichardson6776]

I have a question related to your juki machines. I saw a video yours with your 1541s. I’m considering this machine. It’s between the 1541 and the 1181N. I would be using for bag making, vinyls, leather, thicker material or several layers. What advice can you give me, or which would you suggest in your opinion? Thanks so much!

[@lisachambers905]

The 1x6 ruler!😮🤗

[@muziknrd]

On the zipper pocket are you using sewfuse plus or decovil? Also on the divider interfacing??

[@kriskiana9904]

Hi. Thanks for this tutorial. I really want to try, but top stitching around curves is so sloppy for me, I just can’t get it right. Do you have any tips? I noticed that your sewing machine foot looks different than mine is that a special foot that helps you sew around the curves?

[@pkp6241]

I’m just starting to make bags after 8 months away from it and want to make my mom this wallet (and myself, if I have time). Do you think a magnetic snap would work for this or would it open? I have some but have never used them before. Thanks so much for this and all your tutorial videos. ❤️

[@debbieschmick2458]

Hi Jess, I love your tutorials. Can I use this tutorial for the full size wallet too?

[@brendac3003]

Will decor bond work just as good as the sewfuse?

[@somershana]

hello Jess, what are the clips called. (the ones that you hold the interfacing with the pattern piece) I cannot seem to find them in your links... they look cool. :)

[@rebeccapeters1854]

Thank you Jess! I need advice on topstitching. Often times when a topstitch at the end of a project, the bobbin thread that shows on the other side does not look as great as I want it too. Any advice?

[@suzannes5596]

Hi Jess... your videos are ALWAYS so well executed. You do such a great job! Ordering snaps for the first time. What size snaps did you use?

[@amandahunter2218]

Hey Jess do you think Cork would work with this or that it may crack more easily than vinyl?

[@gabbyn5101]

I tried to make my second one using vinyl....the vinyl ripped on both sides of the turning hole. I spent a long time turning because I was trying to be so careful! Any suggestions on how to keep that from happening?

[@rhondaverma6358]

OMG! You’re killing me!!! 😁 How am I supposed to make all this cute stuff?

[@marilynperry5848]

You can do it..just try..and i notice..all you have to do is try..and dont give up..

[@RebeccaAnneMusic]

I have a random question... Where'd you get that lighter? I like the smaller size with the longer flame part. Thanks!

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Fantastic wallet and a fab tutorial as usual. In the uk we don’t have sew fuse plus, would u suggest sf101

[@cecilkalbo]

hello. love your tutorials. where can i buy the pattern?

Would any of the wallets you make hold and iPhone 11 plus and could you add a cross body strap

[@kaylabrooks2969]

Okay can we talk about the Oklaroots ruler.... where do I get one!?!?!

[@jlfilbeck]

This is a great wallet and video. Can cork be used?

[@loriharpster2248]

Can't wait to make this cutie. Unfortunately the coupon code doesn't work.

[@sophiacpescador]

Hi I’m new is vinyl the same as faux leather ?

[@BAMom780]

I bought the pattern but when I'm printing it I'm having a very difficult time scaling. Are those boxes with the 1 supposed to be 1 inch because they sure are not on mine when I print at 100%? I measured where it says 3/8 inch for the seam allowance and that seems okay but not sure about that 2 cm square at the end either. Any help? I want to make this for my son and niece for Christmas and time is getting short lol

[@buda2618]

I love your channel! Thank you for showing us how to make this adorable wallet. By any change, do you remember where you bought the brown printed vinyl? It’s too cute and I would love to buy it :)

[@janetbailey4282]

thank you for sharing this tutorial

[@jolynnbrummer5382]

Do you think you can use cork for the exterior?

[@dip166]

Another great pattern! Thank you for your trustworthy guidance, as always❤️ I know it’s a women’s wallet, but I wonder if a black one wouldn’t work for a man as well…

[@lindagraff7820]

Go for it👍

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you Linda!

[@leolion7781]

Could you use cork for this pattern? Really cute!

[@suzannes5596]

I want to try to use cork on this pattern too. I think the cork would have to be on the thin side. I love the Sallie Tomato cork, but its pretty thick. For wallets I have had good results with the Sew Sweetness cork.

[@jolynnbrummer5382]

Could I use a small thin magnetic snap?

[@deenel8700]

Jess, awesome video! By the way where did you purchase the star wars vinyl?

[@kimwestbrook8903]

Can I use faux leather instead of vinyl? If yes, would it still need to be interfaced?

[@OklaRoots]

You definitely can! It just depends on how thick your faux leather is. If it's pretty stiff on its own, then you could skip the interfacing.

[@gabbyn7387]

What would be best to use if don't have Decovil?

[@malley4747]

Thanks!

[@pansteve]

hi there , where can i buy the disney fabric? thx
