Alright, NOW it's time for the Linky Party and Giveaway! Sorry for the delay over the weekend... so many deadlines right now and not enough sleep er, time. :)
I finished up both of my envelopes! What do you think?
(I'm hoping tomorrow is sunny so I can get some better pics) :)
Wallet 1
made with all Denyse Schmidt fabrics
I love the structure of these with the interfacing. And the style and size. Everything fits great!
Wallet 2
If I made them again I would make the covers just a little bit wider, but then again maybe not. I think they turned out great! This is such a great pattern made by Walter & Veronica! Thanks again!! :)
Now I want to see yours!!! Be sure to link them up here! :)
But before we get to that...
The Giveaway!!
Here's how it will work:
I have three prizes.
The first is a free-for-all for everyone who enters! (Linky entries start the counting at 1, then the numbers will continue over to the comments)
The second will be picked from those that link up a wallet in the Linky Party!
The third will be picked solely from those that leave a comment on this post.
You don't have to have made a wallet to win, but it does give you extra entries!
It is a Sew Along afterall. ;)
It is a Sew Along afterall. ;)
Prize 1:
YNAB, aka You Need A Budget, is giving away a free copy of YNAB.
Never heard of them? They are more than just a budgeting software. They have a whole new concept and methodology of budgeting! I love their system. You can read more about it here in their free pdf format of YNAB.
Another thing that I love about YNAB is that they have free live webinars, with great support for helping you to understand the system as well as succeed with your budget! Anyway, if you are looking for something new, check it out. You might like it. :)
The winner of the Link Up will receive...
The florals are brand new from the Stockholm line from Robert Kaufman, just arrived yesterday.
The dot is an Amy Butler classic Full Moon Polka Dot
(1) 1/2 yard of the red floral, (2) Fat Eights of the other 2 prints

Start linking up!
Cute wallet. We have a certain amount automatically transferred to our savings account each month - that's been a pretty effective way to grow our savings.
ReplyDeleteLove the wallet! We also have X dollars transferred each month, along with a benefits savings program at hubby's job. Thanks for the opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteWe started the cash system this month and as of right now I'm using these plain old white envelopes. It would be great to have a wallet for that purpose!! Here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics used for the wallet. We use auto transfer from our checks each month. If we don't see the money, we don't miss the money. Thank you for the give away opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI just found this - I will definitely be looking into making one of these. UNLESS I am fortunate enough to win the beauty you made! Bookmarking this.
ReplyDeleteThis comment is for Robin! :)
ReplyDeleteI have entered my completed wallet :)
ReplyDeleteWe are rubbish at budgeting! But we have set up a joint account to pay a set amount into each month for essentials. Only problem is, OH hasn't had a job for ages, and hasn't had a proper pay cheque in his new job yet, so we've not *actually* used it yet!
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow you on networked blogs :)

I'm so late. I'm not sure I'm in time. :) But I did actually make one...but never actually blogged, just put a really bad picture up on Flickr. Hopefully sometime I'll get around to it. Thanks for the tips! I made mine the week before you did this, total bummer, but I'm going to do some more, and I agree the cover should be bigger. I lined my zippered pouches too and really like how they turned out. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteJust added my wallet to the from blank pages flickr group, I just finished it this morning and love how it turned out. I hate that I was not able to participate in the sew-along/giveaway it was just to hectic of a time for me to try to sew as we had a bug move from NC to TX that same week. I did a few things different and if I make another one for someone else I definitely learned a few other things I would change too. Thanks for all the tips, they really helped since this was the first time I have ever sewn zippers.
