I've bought these wallets from Dear Sukie in the past and absolutely love them. When I found out Kristy was on Martha Stewart and shared a tutorial I decided to give it a "try" using some of my favorite papers. Here's how mine turned out.
It was fun adding the rub-ons, and the little custom tags like she does on the back.
The best part was picking out an assortment of papers for each wallet. It's fun to see my designs used like fabric for the wallets.
The rest of the project didn't go as well as I planned. It took way longer than I thought it would, there are a lot of pieces to keep track of. Sewing through the all the layers of vinyl was a little tricky. Next time I think I'll contact Kristy at Dear Sukie and have her custom make a few more for me. Her prices are really reasonable, and they would be great gifts for the holidays!
This did inspire me to create a new project using vinyl for purses. I'll be posting that project/tutorial closer to Christmas.
oh i TOTALLY love what you've created! im gonna check out that tutorial and perhaps give it a try. thanks for the pics. :)

I saw when Dear Sukie was on Martha and I have wanted to make these wallets ever since. I printed the templates, but I haven't bought the vinyl. My 7-yr old keeps asking for a wallet, so I wanted to modify her design to make the Little Guy one.
Speaking of little ones, congrats on the baby bump!!! You look beautiful in the photo. Welcome to the Car Seat Club! It's an adventure of a lifetime.
