It’s no secret that I love my scraps. Well, today I’m gonna show you how to turn a few basic scraps into something useful, mini wallets. That’s right, I took a few small scraps and turned them into a major focal point on these minis.
Since I have made this pattern hundreds of times, I thought it would be fun to switch things up. So, after printing out the template I randomly drew lines with a ruler and pencil. These lines will be stitch lines and the paper pattern will become my foundation. Consider this my version of a quick and easy paper piecing project.
*paper piecing tip- remember to reduce your stitch length. This will help with paper removal.

Additional Tips:
*For a stiffer wallet add a layer of decor bond.
*Consider adding hand embroidery for that special detail.
*A velcro closure can be swapped for snap.
*Add a small strap for an instant wristlet.
