How are we able to get the pattern for this as it doesn't seem to be available on the Sallie Tomato website? Thank you.

[@vickiefmorgan]

I LOVE your videos. You are one of the best

[@elizabethdickerson2571]

Thank you, I received my Kit from Sallie Tomato yesterday and I have a wonderful finished wallet today in hours. (UFO) Thanks to both of you. Your way of making corners, turned out great. :)

[@vickieswift2358]

The math in you is showing..😊 just love how you hold our hands as we walk through all the things! Thanks for that. Create a beautiful day 🌞

[@OklaRoots]

Haha thanks Vickie!

[@izabelangelo558]

Amei a peça, mas poderiam acrescentar no vídeo as medidas de cada peça para as pessoas que não dominam o idioma.❤️

[@susanwrightdavis9855]

Thanks!

[@akilahmessado9996]

Love the angles for the corners you demonstrated!!!!

[@paulalabonte7346]

That corner fold is ideal! The corner folding and leaving a gap is why I have been avoiding this pattern. So glad I found your improved corners.

[@girl5998]

I just downloaded the pattern. I like the way you did the corners it's more finished looking. I really like the way you encourage all of us that watch you. Thank you so much.

[@stefanelbla6011]

Wow you are so right!! I did three already today so fun to make these and I can’t believe how easy and quick it was to finish them!! The adjustment you did is just perfect it folds like it belongs there!! You’re the best Jess I never miss your videos!! Happy holidays!!💝

[@OklaRoots]

Awwww thank you!!

[@MultiCaro2011]

Love the wallet! I just purchased the pattern! Thank you Jess! And thank you to Sallie Tomato too! You’re both awesome!

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Great tutorial, thanks Jessica! Such a clever, functional & cute pattern that can be customized for everyone with fabric choices & what a great fabric scrap buster! Love Sallie Tomato patterns & zippers.

[@madebymilliesdesigns]

Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and for sharing your ideas. This is great!

[@roycewoods9219]

I just ordered this pattern yesterday. Thanks for the great step by step. I think I’m going to try replacing the zipper pocket with another set of card slots. The card slots will be much more useful for me.

[@sebastianocano3289]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial, the detailed part of the corners was amazing, very clever!

[@samarperry8484]

So cute. Thanks for the step by step instructions. I did my first wallet for my Bestie and made it girlie. I was able to successfully use a 7" premade zipper. It wasn't easy but I am not experienced enough to deal with that intensity. It came out ubber cute. I made it ocean teamed and lined with a turtle fabric that I got off Etsy. Thanks again Jess!

[@Tenita79]

Pattern is no longe available 😢😢

[@christinemoore2661]

A very good gift to make and give.

[@OklaRoots]

I totally agree!

[@roniesousa2953]

OMG! quick , small and cute project !, amazingly beautiful for my daughter’s second grade teacher Christmas gift !!! Jessica, You have the best KZbin Chanel ever!! Your nice, clean and very good taste projects are simply wonderful! Trust me , I watch tutorials in Ingles, Portuguese, Spanish and French ( Languages that I speak) and you are way fair way good from all of them. I want to be your friend 😂.

[@OklaRoots]

That's so incredibly kind of you to say Ronie! Thank you so much. You brightened my day.

[@sadiejosiemom]

Seriously, this is the cutest easy wallet especially for smaller bags. I think the only things I would do different is to make a fold over snap tab on the exterior and do the double stitching on the outside. Ooooh - how about instead of the zipper pocket put more card slots then make a zipper pocket on the outside? Might be too bulky but I would try it. Just make sure the zipper pocket is on the opposite end - assuming you still have the "slip" pocket area behind the card slots where the zipper pocket was. If that makes sense. So many variations!! I like the one you made in the tutorial the best - sew scrappy!

[@OklaRoots]

Isn't this such a fun pattern?! I love all your ideas! You could build on this in so many ways!

[@joanweissenburger632]

Like this pattern. I really like your top

[@yeaz0317]

Really like this pattern and love the adaptation you made to the corners of the wallet. I feel so inspired!!

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you Edye! I hope you make one!

[@yeaz0317]

[@Wrightn221]

I would add some velcro. It's cute though. Thanks Jess! Your tutorials are always the bestest (in my Angelica voice).

Tks so much for sharing this easy project 🙂

Going to have to try making this cool wallet 🎉

[@marygrace7538]

Thanks Jess for a great tutorial as always. Didn’t even realize I owned this Sallie Tomato pattern… so I’m late to the party 😁. Great for all the small leftover pieces of cork & vinyl in my stash. Finished it in just a few hours. A very quick make and already have another one cut and ready to sew.

[@marygrace7538]

Love the corner tweak 💜

[@rosamundados4936]

Hermosas creaciones y didácticos tutoriales. Definitivamente me suscribo. Gracias por su creatividad. Saludos desde Andalucía 🌞

[@Kera.S.]

Would you do the Ginger Pattern by Sallie Tomato, it's a crossbody bag? ... Oh, and I love your videos! I love bags and I love sewing, you see where this is going? Of course it did... I am addicted to your channel and I couldn't have found you at a better time!! My youngest adult child has been dealing with a lot this week, therefore I have been too! Except silently! Watching your videos have helped me to pass the days when I needed something to be excited about and you can't put my 2 Fav things together and it not be exactly what this girl/wife/mom/I needed!!! Thank you so much!!! 🤗 ❤️

[@areyoureyesstillblue]

I just made one and it was easier and quicker than I had anticipated!

[@bossandcharlie]

I have this pattern but have not had a chance to make it yet!! I will be making lots of these for gifts soon! I have been to Sallie Tomato's store/warehouse in Wisconsin and everyone is so helpful and kind to customers! I love their products and patterns also.

[@OklaRoots]

Awww I want to visit them one day!

[@travelingnana13]

Love this! Your tutorial is awesome as is the patterns from Sallie Tomato! Thank you 😊

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Hi Jess. Could you talk a bit about needles and feet for different materials? Some people say use a jeans needle for faux leather, some say to use a leather needle. And what do you use for vinyl or cork? And you say to use a zipper foot. Should it be a teflon zipper foot or does it matter? I just started making bags and you're a big part of that! Thank you for your energetic, upbeat personality and being so concise in teaching these skills. Your guidance makes it so much easier to attempt a complicated bag.

[@carenholderbradshaw9980]

Beautiful wallet.

[@yiayia1071]

Diagonal cutting the corners is a great tip

[@TerriRomano]

Bought the labels. Their quality is awesome and the colors she makes are endless.

[@suzannewalker2090]

I have never made a wallet because they are too daunting for me with all of the pieces etc. but this one looks easy and stylish! You make me want to give it a try

[@OklaRoots]

I hope you do try! I agree wallets can really be tricky. But this is a perfect starter wallet.

[@marianlanouette4768]

I love your videos. Thank you.

[@fishin2by282]

Great help & cute pattern! Love the idea for scrap cotton lining on main piece. Would love to see a tutorial for Luci bag. Have made 2 but struggled a little on main zipper technique. Thanks, great job!

Thank you so very much and your trick with the corners are great. I didn’t like when it was a gap.

Had to go buy this before the video was even over. Love the pattern, and LOVE your tips on it. Cant wait to get started on the first one.

Honestly this is a pattern I could make 100 times, it's such a great one! I can't wait for you to make it!

[@lorirodgers4119]

thanks for this -- I'm going to try it again, didn't like the one I made last summer.

[@beccaisler1834]

I love this! Could you add a clear ID pocket on the back? No idea how to... just thought it would be a nice addition... thanks again for a great tutorial!

[@OklaRoots]

You definitely could!

[@MrsAmyrae1972]

I was wondering if I could replace the zipper pocket for a clear ID pocket. After I make one I will try it.

[@sonjathomas6084]

Thank you Jess for all the amazing things you thought me/ us 🙏🏻💕 I am about to make this cute wallet for my twin grand boys and I am wondering if I can use a “normal” zipper and cut the ends of . I guess I can, weird in my head when I think about it 🤪

[@OklaRoots]

Yes of course!

[@annguglielmino8989]

I made one for my grandson. I wanted it to match the Spiderman shirt I made him so it is all quilt cotton. Interfaced the heck out of everything but Decovil heavy for the main piece. It won't hold up to legit use but as Gabe is 3 and this will be a toy I think we are good.

[@lindashine5575]

I'm gonna have to try this one! I will figure out how to turn the card slots around so they face inside the wallet though, otherwise I will worry about cards slipping out.

[@nancyschaefer8910]

I did that, I felt that cards would slip out too

[@cherub112361]

Just curious - in place of faux leather could you use real leather? I've never worked with it so I don't know if the edges stay clean. Love the tutorial!!!!!

My concern for a man’s wallet is the heavy zipper pull. This might be a place for a dressmaker’s zipper. If I cut off the stops, can I reattach the pull on that kind of zipper? Great pattern!

where did u get leather labels; great tut. thanks

[@brendadavis7416]

Exellent tutorial!

[@karenpalmer9988]

Someone else asked this question, but didn't get an answer. What type of fabric did you use for the Credit Card pieces? I also wanted to know where you get the white chalk pen? I really love how easy that is to use. I'm thinking of buying this pattern because it looks so nice. I'm not crazy about the zipper part, and worry I won't get it to slide on right. I would love to make one for my husband. It looks more like a mans wallet than a woman's wallet. Anyone else think this? I suppose either or could use it. Thank you Jess for a super tutorial as usual!!!

[@christina.and.things]

Can't wait to make this! The discount code didn't work, was it only valid for a very short time?

[@elisebloom5354]

It didn't work for me either. :/ Which is a bummer cause it's a pretty expensive pattern for such a small, quick to make item.

[@MsCree01]

I just bought some leather in Italy. Can I use that

[@lynetterene]

What timing..... I'm literally just trying to make my husband a wallet... I didn't sew it yet, so I'll be watching for tips 😊

[@mjp5129]

Hey. In one of your videos, you said you use the same weight thread for all your bags? Was that 40 weight or Tex 40, if thats even a thread size. I have either quilt thread or heavy duty Tex 69 and 92. I’m probably getting these numbers wrong…lol thanks for all you do.

[@danelleprinsloo1566]

Thanks so much. How would one attach a clip for closure

[@seamsuneven7824]

Hiya Jess thank your for a great tutorial. I have a question. By chance can this be made with a regular zipper do you know? Thanks a bunch! 🥰

[@MsCree01]

Is there material or something you can add to make it RFID proof

[@jules2713]

Any chance of SVG files for this?? Super cute!

[@dawnhicks7649]

Loved your video! Where do you find the adorable printed faux leather/vinyls you use in these wallets?

[@vanceandbonnieneuberger8881]

Yay, that it fits in a guy’s back pocket. Hubby REALLY needs one!

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Love it by wonder if it fits English pound notes as a lot of wallet patterns are not tall enough for English money🙁

[@sadiejosiemom]

I'm not an expert, but since the top side of the opening of the wallet is "free" then I think you could modify and make it (the exterior piece) as tall as you need. Sew a mock up using just scrap fabric without the zipper pocket and card slots just using the base/background and your modified exterior. I bet it will work great. Try it!

[@Misscrazytrain2u]

I didn’t see an SVG cut file for this, how did you cut yours? Did you just print it out and trace it and cut? Anyone?

[@sheilaberman1619]

Do you use a special foot for sewing vinyl and leather? (Sorry if you mentioned in the video, I missed it.) Great tutorial!
