Necessary Clutch Wallet Sew Along!

[@dianaviera6228]

You are a great teacher! I’ve taught cake decorating for over a decade and it’s nice to see when someone explains things in a step-by-step way without too many explanations. Well done!!!

[@Sew_Country]

Oh Diana this comment has made my day! Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and share such kind words! I really appreciate it...and now you have me craving cake! 😆

Missed this until now! Haven’t made one for ages! I’m adding to my list of makes for 2023 and I’ll tag you when I’m done ❤ fabulous video tutorial too!

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you for watching, Peg! I know yours will be amazing, I can't wait to see it!

[@bearscritter]

Thank you for your awesome tutorial. Quite a few little extras I learned from watching your tutorial. I do believe that is going to help me a lot!! You need to do MANY more tutorials. I love the way you explain everything in detail but not going overboard!

[@Sew_Country]

Kathie, thank you for watching and saying such kind words! I really appreciate that you took the time to do that. It was great waking up this morning to kindness! :)

Best explanation of how to do card slots! ❤

[@Sew_Country]

Yay!! Thank you for such a kind comment, Nancy! Can I admit that I love doing credit card slots and will usually skip ahead in a pattern and do them first? 🤣

[@maryannnewsham7714]

You did an awesome job on explaining how to put this wallet together. I feel confident that if I follow this tutorial while making my wallet I will be able to complete it. I am going to interface the way you did and follow your tips on the card slots.

[@Sew_Country]

Aww, thank you so much! I hope you share your version on Facebook!

[@suerush704]

WOW 😳. This was meant to Be!!!! I started my 1st EVER NCW yesterday, I have everything cut out & CCslots made....YOU showed me the rest in an EASY WAY I can understand it (I've watched many tutorials on this wallet coz I love it) but too scared too try....I'm going to finish my 1st ever NCW today with YOUR HELP! This was amazing that I found you THIS MORNING! 😂 I can't believe it! I'm sooooo excited to finish up!! Thanks a million! I'm so glad I found your channel, PLEASE CONTINUE to do more tutorials!!! I can't thank you enough!!! 😊

[@Sew_Country]

Now you are really going to make me cry!😭😭 I am so glad the video helped! I hope you enjoy finishing your wallet! I am definitely making more videos, hopefully 1 every week, my next few will be simple free patterns though! Lol

[@dalvaserranomondesi]

My thoughts exactly. I have watched so many videos and afraid to make it. Beth explained it so well , divided the steps so great !! My machine is in the shop but as soon as I have it back I will tackle my first NCW. Beth you are a great teacher , love your style!!

[@Sew_Country]

@@dalvaserranomondesi thank you so much for your kind words and support!! I can't wait to see yours!!

[@susanoder1959]

Good tutorial. I liked the way you drew the box on the outside to give a nicer look.

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you!! I had to learn the hard way, my first one had a very crooked bottom on the outside! Lol. Thanks for watching!!

[@rosemarieburrell1799]

Excellent video tutorial. Great explanations of the steps. You are a natural! Don’t doubt yourself. Looking forward to your next videos!!!

[@Sew_Country]

Rosemarie, thank you so much for saying this. You have no idea how much it means to me!! ❤

[@cherrybrown4079]

As a person who struggles with sewing that box nice and straight, I love your method of sewing it and can't wait to try it on my next ncw.

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you, Cherry for watching! I hope the tip helps you as much as it did me!!

[@sleeplessinscandia6452]

Glad I found your videos 😊 you’re a great teacher. Thanks

[@Sew_Country]

Aww, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and say these kind words. I very much appreciate them!

[@donnacornell6340]

My first time viewing your channel. I subscribed. Impressed with your component sections. I love that you do not use a full industrial machine. I love your explanations of the process and steps. You are a great addition to the video team. I would like to see more wallets and crossbody bags. Happy New Year!!

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you so much for watching and your kind words, I truly appreciate them! I worry that my videos are boring! 😆 I only have a domestic machine and zero desire to get an industrial so I am glad that is ok with you! I have a few videos already filmed that are not wallets or crossbodies, but I will definitely add those to my list and make some!! 😊

[@BrittanyEmpurrium]

This is great, so glad you joined

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you for letting me be a part of the festivities!!😘😘

[@Noskipstitch]

Hi Beth! Great tutorial 👌 music to my ears when u said u will do more tutorials ...Yay! I just subscribed. I know that u will get many many subscribers, just give it time. Love the way u teach, thank u so much 💐

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you so much for your kind words, watching and even subscribing! My goal is to upload 1 video a week, but I honestly hope to be able to do more! 😆

[@JollyRose143]

I have the pattern for a long time 2-3 years ago im hoping to start this year. This could be the year thanks for sharing.

[@Sew_Country]

I need to make more! The pattern codes together so quickly!

[@Kera.S.]

TN will be my first SME event too! I hope to meet you! 💙 🤗 You know I'm your big fan 😁👍👋👏👏👏👏

[@Sew_Country]

That would be wonderful!! I just sent you a friend request so we can stay in touch. I will be an assistant for K.dill Handmade so I will be with her teaching probably 4 classes! :)

[@juliecangialosi7183]

Great job!

[@Sew_Country]

[@chainedstitch1530]

Extremely informative and easy to follow along! Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial. 😊

[@Sew_Country]

Thanks so much for watching and saying that! It means a lot coming from you, your videos look so professional!!

[@chainedstitch1530]

Oh my gosh you are too kind! Totally not professional, I just use a camera too. You were so relaxed in front of the camera, that is something I’ll never do! Lol

[@Sew_Country]

@@chainedstitch1530 I really debated on going in front of the camera! I am older, I don't wear makeup and I just got home from a 50 hour work week. But I decided to be brave, I will be honest and tell you that I was pacing and my stomach hurt before the video premiered, I was so nervous. 🤣🤣

[@chainedstitch1530]

@@Sew_Country you did a wonderful job!

[@MamaAmazing717]

Great tutorial! You breaking it all down really worked for me!

[@Sew_Country]

So glad to hear that! Thanks for watching and your kind words!!

[@EitherOrr1]

Just saw you channel! There was a NCW New Year's Eve sew-along? I bought this pattern years ago and I think I am the only one that has yet to make the NCW! Yikes! I'm a first time viewer and thank you so much for sharing your talent with this community!

[@Sew_Country]

Hi!! Every New Year's Eve there is a NCW Sew Along, it's become a tradition. Lol! Thanks for watching my video and for your kind words! I hope you attempt the pattern! It comes together quickly!!

[@paulasews]

Thank you! You have given me a bunch of good tips, especially the zipper method and the extra rivets! Going to try those next time I make one of these.

Thank you so much, this comment is the best ever! You just made my day! I appreciate your kindness! I hope you make it!! ❤❤

[@atiyasperfecttreas]

@@Sew_Country I'm going to try I have a Brother Semi Industrial similar to your Juki can I ask what size and style needle you use and what kind of thread. That seems to be my issue with sewing vinyl on my machine and not getting my tension to the right setting.

[@Sew_Country]

@@atiyasperfecttreas I use a polyester thread only. I currently am loving Isacord. I only use Schmetz needles and I sewed this wallet with a 90/14 universal.

[@atiyasperfecttreas]

@@Sew_Country Ok thank you for the information :)

[@Sew_Country]

@@atiyasperfecttreas You're welcome!!

[@barbarak413]

Great tutorial such detail. Helped me a lot to understand the card slots. Is it possible to do maybe a short tutorial of adding two zippers instead of one. Happy new year from South Africa. Ps loved the marvel fabric.

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you, Barbara for watching and for commenting with such kind words! I will definitely do a tutorial for the double zipper pocket. I already have to make more anyway! Lol. :)

[@migdaliaestrada]

The best video for this Wallet is this one. I don't have the studs, do you think I can sew that area?

[@Sew_Country]

Oh wow, thank you!! You can definitely see the side area. That is how the pattern is written but you will need to be mindful of a few things. (1) if you sew on a domestic you will want to avoid using vinyl for the body of your wallet. You could use it for your flap though. (2) I would try to sew it with a seam allowance of around 3/8" instead of what the pattern says of 1/4" :) Good luck sewing!!

[@susanpilutti210]

How would you attach a shoulder strap to the vinyl? Your video is so very helpful.

[@Sew_Country]

Hi! You could use a rivet d ring, or add an additional piece of vinyl with a d ring on it. I believe there is am add on to the pattern that has the steps....I think! :)

[@annclancey3388]

I really enjoyed your tutorial, and I will look forward to watching more. Can you tell me what thread you used? I heard you say you were topstitching at a 3.5 sl, what sl do you use for a joining stitch?

[@Sew_Country]

Thank you for watching, I appreciate your kind words!! I typically use a stitch length around 2.7-3 for joining stitches depending on the thickness of my materials. I use a polyester thread, Isacord. :)

[@JollyRose143]

What size of rivet are you using?

[@Sew_Country]

I am using a 10mm. :)
