A Two Pocket Gift Card Purse/Wallet

Today, I am sharing a four seam, two pocket purse/wallet that I made to

 hold a gift card which I gave to one of my great nieces for Christmas.

I came across the easy to follow project on Lizzy Curtis's YouTube

channel which you can see HERE

I finished the purse using a KAM Snap fastener.

This is a good project for using up those left-over scraps of material, so

I have since made another two for two other great nieces and I can see

myself making more, maybe in different sizes too.

Lay Flat Drawstring Make Up Bags for my Great-Nieces

I've been a bit quiet on blogging my sewing projects just recently, as they have
 all been Christmas presents which I am now able to show.

When two of my great-niece's saw my drawstring make up bag that I 

made HERE, they both asked if I could make them one each sometime,
one in pink and one in lilac/purple. Apologies for the quality of the photos,
the colours of the lilac/purple one look better in real life.

They are aged 10 and 6 and this is what I made for them as part of their 

Christmas present. As soon as the presents were all opened, they began filling 

their bags with some toiletries and small make up sets they had both received!

I purchased the material from Chelmsford Market. 

A friend has also asked if I could make her one, so I have already cut the 

material and will make it for her in January and show you next month.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, wishing you all a very Happy New Year.
