The Ivy Wallet by Stitches By Christy

[@annefinegan7479]

There is something so magical watching you sew and listening to the way you teach, I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you ❤

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you so much!

[@thunderbirdfarmpa]

I am always in awe of wallet sewists! It takes a special eye for sure.

[@Jacarlson37]

I love watching you sew up a pattern before I start in on it. It gives me the confidence to try it out! Thank you!

[@MelissaH05]

Wallets and backpacks are my favorite to make... Loving all these different wallet patterns you're doing

[@thunderbirdfarmpa]

I love your idea for the brushed cotton dyed card slot stablizer

[@MamaAmazing717]

You make it look so easy, and as a beginner I know it’s can’t be! Great tutorial!

[@SiahSwag]

You can do it!

[@MelissaOSaile]

I love all of Christy's patterns! So easy to follow and such cute projects!

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

Wow. I’m sold. Thank you Kassiah. ❤

[@SiahSwag]

You are so welcome!

[@taracoulson]

Excellent teaching video. Thanks!

[@guineverecassidy4855]

Such a super cute wallet!

[@lanafultz4988]

Just finished two Ivy wallets.

This really seems easy and cute. I tried to buy the pattern, but you need a code from your email and my Crome was replaced and I cannot get to my email. When I can, I will buy it. Thanks for the teaching.

I love this wallet. You’re right it is thin and cute. I have a request please. I’m looking for a slim wallet like this, but one that has a pocket or space for a car key fob. I have never seen a wallet with a space for a key fob. Have you?

[@jolynnbrummer5382]

Must you have special dies from spring snaps or can you use the dies for rivets?

[@chelebox1986]

There are specific dies for the spring snaps. The rivet dies will not work on the spring snaps.

[@dorothymasterson57]

Hi Kassiah! Question, if we r sewing this wallet on domestic - Can the interfacing 1 inch piece be cut to JUST the size of a credit card? This way if it’s short on the sides, it won’t cause bulk and make easier to turn and sew.

[@SiahSwag]

You could totally do that, it might make it a little thick in your wallet, but the seams would stay light

[@ruthtay9819]

What type of thread do you use if you don't mind me asking?

[@SiahSwag]

I use a Tex 70 bonded Polyester that I sell on my website specifically for Bagmaking. siahswagbags.com/products/industrial-bonded-poly-tex-70-thread?_pos=2&_sid=bbfe7b6ee&_ss=r

[@KatiFalk1]

I just bought and downloaded the pattern. Worst layout of a pattern I have ever encountered. Big mistake

[@MelissaOSaile]

No need to be so rude. You CAN kindly offer criticism or suggest a way to improve the pattern if you think you have a better idea.

[@SiahSwag]

I’m sorry you feel that way, I really enjoyed this pattern. Not everyone has the same learning styles and that’s OK. If you feel you could write patterns in a better way, I encourage you to try…. You will find it is not an easy skill to master. I also would appreciate if you kept things positive and constructive on my channel in the comments. We are not here to bash anyone. Thank you.

One of the best parts of being able to teach through an online platform is being able to showcase a variety of designers. Just like each person has their own likes, dislikes and preference, each designer has their own style. Not everyone has the same preferences, and that is ok. If you are unsure if you will mesh with a certain designer, see if they offer a free pattern so you can test out their style at no cost to you.

You guys are certainly correct I could have said that much better, I think the eclipse is making me crazy! I am usually a very very nice person. The trouble I experienced is a very high priced pattern with alot of things I did not need or even was able to tell what they were when downloading and then when opening the normal 8.5x11 pages the pieces run off the edges and some of the pages just had two lines through the middle and I did not understand how to put them together as there were no markings to assemble. After downloading the instructions I see that there are some charts inside there to assemble but have not done that yet. I wish designers would just do a less expensive version without all the cutting and other files not all of us need. Nonetheless I am sorry I was abrupt I'll do some meditating tonight and get back to happy. @@SiahSwag
