One hour plastic wallet

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.
Look at you now!!!

Jan said...

And I love it that you talked quite a bit even then!

Jan said...

Little did your teachers know that you were in training to become the sought-after speaker that you are now...

sue niven said...

Love it Jodie! Thankyou!!!

mich mendoza said...

Wow!!! You craft good. I like how you make things so easy...^____^

You know you just can't write that stuff in reports anymore! Litigation Litigation!!!
So 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.

Thimbleanna said...

"talks quite a bit in class"???? Who knew???? Hahahaha!

Brenda said...

'Jodie show little interest in computing'???

I 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 :-).

Whoa! The wallets are terrific.

AWESOME tutorial, Jodie!! :)

(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!!

Judy Ross said...

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!

Rachael said...

Excellent, might just have to force and hour into the crazy sewing schedual for this one. Thanks xx

Fer said...

Cool, thanks Jodie!

Leanne said...

Little 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.

Why 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)
Cute tutorial by the way xox

Melody said...

You are just SO clever.

Sew Useful Designs said...

Crack up!

Griffin said...

Spends far too much time being a nuisance? But there's so little time to be a nuisance in!

I used to say that I was perfect - a perfect nuisance... and strangely nobody even tried to disagree!! Nuisances of the World unite!!

Rumi said...

Oh good golly, I had a laugh over your teacher's comments.
Cute wallet, thanks.

Moogsmum said...

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!

Great tutorial Jodie - those wallets are fab :)

Apryl said...

debra said...

Christina said...

Your 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!

My 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!

tialys said...

Love your school report! My sewing teacher at school called me 'gormless' and I had to go and look it up in a dictionary.
Love 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.
