I have finally added the paper and plastic wallet tutorial link over on my sidebar.
I called it a one-hour-wallet but I think you could easily do it in less. For ease of sewing I recommend you get a Teflon foot for your machine, for sewing plastic. It makes a HUGE difference.
Surely you know someone who needs their school report refashioned this Christmas ?
I love that you were a nuisance in computing.
ReplyDeleteLook at you now!!!
And I love it that you talked quite a bit even then!
ReplyDeleteLittle did your teachers know that you were in training to become the sought-after speaker that you are now...
ReplyDeleteLove it Jodie! Thankyou!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! You craft good. I like how you make things so easy...^____^
ReplyDeleteYou know you just can't write that stuff in reports anymore! Litigation Litigation!!!
ReplyDeleteSo take cae of yours, they're (like mine) relics of a past age now!
Jolly good use for them though I must say!
Thank you! I LOVE this idea. You are one creative gal.
ReplyDelete"talks quite a bit in class"???? Who knew???? Hahahaha!
ReplyDeletewell, you look like you are applying yourself fully right now. perhaps you should send a link to your blog to your teachers. too funny!
ReplyDelete'Jodie show little interest in computing'???
ReplyDeleteI burst out laughing at this one. Truly genius! I'm trying to think if I have anything incriminating that would make for a good holiday gift for my friends. Actually, though, come to think of it, I may have some letters which would be sweetly nostalgic instead of hilarious. At any rate, loving this! Thanks for sharing :-).
ReplyDeleteWhoa! The wallets are terrific.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME tutorial, Jodie!! :)
ReplyDelete(But then, that's nothing new!!)
You're making my Christmas crafting a LOT more fun ~ and easier!! :)
As for being a "nuisance" in "computing," I'll bet that even then, somewhere in your mind, you were too busy creating your adorable friends and your amazingly lovely projects!!
What a genius idea! As soon as I find where my teenager hid his report I'm sooooo making this for him for Christmas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, might just have to force and hour into the crazy sewing schedual for this one. Thanks xx
ReplyDeleteCool, thanks Jodie!
ReplyDeleteLittle did he/she know you would become the talented person that you are. I would be tooooo embarrassed to put my school reports out there for the world to see. I have kept them well and truly hidden from my kids.
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why can't teachers these days tell it like it is! I so miss that! I want to know my child it talking to much and flashy the boys!! (which she is not, mine are perfect)
ReplyDeleteCute tutorial by the way xox
You are just SO clever.
ReplyDeleteJodie, you have me laughing out loud all the time! You little "nuisance" you!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteCrack up!
Vikki xo
Spends far too much time being a nuisance? But there's so little time to be a nuisance in!
ReplyDeleteI used to say that I was perfect - a perfect nuisance... and strangely nobody even tried to disagree!! Nuisances of the World unite!!
Oh good golly, I had a laugh over your teacher's comments.
ReplyDeleteCute wallet, thanks.
Hee hee - I do wish they still did reports like that. They're so full of bland cut'n'paste stock phrases now. Tell it like it is, I say!
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial Jodie - those wallets are fab :)
xxx
awesome.... though I have no clue about sewing machine feet and what not so may need to leave it for awhile but I really do want to have a go at making one.
ReplyDeleteha ha ...adorable...thank you thank you thank you...i will definitely be trying one of these for xmas...too cool!!!!! may not use the report card though, although she may not mind at all...hee hee
ReplyDeleteYour patterns are so great Jodie! I finished a kinder boy yesterday and had to thank you again for the pattern and say what a brilliant job you have done! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy kinder boy is on his way to Meet me at Mike's on Monday to join up with the other Mirabel softies. I wonder if he will meet some more Kinder boys and girls? I hope so.
:)
Still a nuisance!
ReplyDeleteLove your school report! My sewing teacher at school called me 'gormless' and I had to go and look it up in a dictionary.
ReplyDeleteLove the wallet, could you use fabric on the outer side or oilcloth perhaps?
Made a couple of these last night for my niece and sister. Very easy to do, especially with the teflon presser foot. Filled them with some cash and VIOLA......stocking stuffers. I plan on making a couple more for co-workers with some very cute christmas wrapping paper.
