No one teaches like you......just the perfect amount of chit chat and all the perfect direction.thanks
You just made my day. Thank you!
Great wallet love it... You can also rub bees wax into the edge of leather then burnish it with friction a rag and the bees wax will melt into the leather...
Love this! And just to be a know it all, the holes aren't purely esthetic. They keep the slits from tearing as they catch the pull and dissolve it. 😁
I remember my best friend and I used to go to Target and get this style of wallet when we were broke in college. Last month, I surprised her with a Pocket Pal in her gift basket when she got Covid. She loved it! I got this pattern and I'm gonna make myself one this week!
I've liked and subscribed so I can show my wife this channel, proper advice, respect from Ireland 🇮🇪🤝🇺🇸
Thanks!
WOW! And here I was thinking that I had enough patterns and projects to last the rest of my lifetime... thank you for enabling! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!
Woot woot! Already purchased, going to play with it this weekend! Love everything you do Linds!
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see yours 🤗
Tutorial???? 😃
Kinda sad when this was finished. I really enjoy watching your tutorials and all the valuable information you put into the project.
Ha ha. Well that’s sweet! Don’t be sad! There will be another video coming this Friday 😉
Amazing! If you haven’t yet purchased the Pocket Pal, get that one too! The Purse Pal is a great way to build on the techniques learned on the Pocket Pal!
Just made my first Purse Pal! Thank you so much for including the svg files!
You are so welcome!
Great pattern. My third watch through before cutting. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I've had this pattern for some time, but haven't made it yet. Now after seeing your video, I so jazzed to try it. The way you did those card slots is just brilliant and I would never have thought of using landscape fabric. Kudos to you. Thanks.
Substituted. Great instructions. I’ve been making bags a while and have been looking for a wallet. So excited to make.
Great tutorial. I don’t actually use a wallet as I’ve a phone wallet, but love all the little tips & gems that I get from these videos. Looks perfect 👌
Thank you Lindsey, I will have to give this a try 🌺
Purchased today along with templates!!! Wiil comment on fb when made....thank you for all you do....
Beautiful workmanship.
Thank you!
Lovely little bag.
Thank you!
New subscriber recently and love what I have seen. Just got my first industrial machine so not only nervous about that but sewing with leather and vinyl. Anxious to try this pattern...have it....now going to cut out!!! Thank you for your awesome tutorials!
Welcome! Thanks for being here 😀
I love the look of these and the purse pal! I’m going to pick up the patterns today and give them a try.
Thank you!
Wow that looks so easy and beautiful!
Thanks fot sharing.
🙂
Wow, now I won’t need to buy one! Thanks so much😃
You’re welcome!
Think this will be my first sewing project with my new sewing machine! 😍
Eeeek! So exciting!
This has become my favorite wallet.
I’m so glad you like it!
Love, love, love this video....I'm going to make these for some friends:)
Thank you! Can’t wait to see them 😀
I made my purse pal roday it turned out great , I did it in all cork, I love it, I love that is slimline also, only thing i did different was the snap I made mine wider as I didnt like that it showed my cards to much, my next one I will make it a bit deeper so the slip pocket is deeper, as I think our bank notes in the UK are taller and certain denomanations ( £20 notes ) stick out the top more lol
thank you for this video! just bought the pattern this morning and I'm excited to make this!!!!
Thank you!
I’ve been looking for something exactly like this! Thank you so much!
Yay! You’re welcome!
What a fun little project! Love it!❤️
Thank you!
I made a second one today and am trying to create a panel to insert some Pendleton wool. It will be interesting! 😆
Awesome 😊
great purse pal
Thank you. 😀
I will definitely be getting this pattern. Thank you 😊
What is the exact name of the landscape fabric please? Thank Linds great pattern
Great video. Thank you.
Beautiful 👌
Thank you!
I just bought this pattern. Your video is so detailed and helpful! I can’t wait to make some Purse Pals - just need to order supplies. Would you mind sharing what types of feet you use when sewing yours? I think I heard a walking foot. Thank you!
I’m sewing on my industrial machine which is a walking foot machine. But for domestic machines I’d recommend a Teflon foot which glides easily over vinyl/faux leather.
Great tutorial and fun to make! Be sure to double-check the card slots as your making them! I didn’t and they’re too deep-the cards disappear!
For sure! I’ve made dozens of these and I still always double check.
Love the addition of a slip pocket! Can’t wait to try this :)
This maybe a stupid question, forgive me. This is my first time working with a pattern using just vinyl. If you’re using cork or vinyl do you still need to use the leather glue and paint?
Then stick with the fabriTac but yes you still need an adhesive of some sort. I personally just like the finished look of edge painting but you don’t have to. I would recommend rubbing a clear drying glue to those edges however to avoid the fabric backing of those materials from popping out over time with use.
Nice project. Going to see if I can find the pattern!
F.Y.I
Hope the cards you used for demo of pockets were not real……info on Amex card is very easy to read…..safety always!😊
Thanks! I always use old expired cards for projects like this. All my patterns can be found at lindshandmade.com
Just purchased mine after watching oklaroots. Im about to watch this video a few more times and try it out. I have a cricut to help cut do I need to mirror the image
Does anyone know if the Pocket Pal fits into the original H2O to GO sling pocket...I know the H20 to Go has slots etc....but I don't like removing from one to the other....
This is such a great pattern. Love this design and your video is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Another great pattern! Thanks for the amazing video tutorials
You’re welcome!!
Linds, In Love with this pattern. Read all the comments and got a couple questions answered. Will cut tonight. Thank you for amazing stuff. Love everything you do! Btw, do you have a video showing how to remove the zipper teeth/coil? I’ve never done that. Thx!
Thanks! I do! It’s called “don’t be scared of using metal zippers in your sewing projects”
I have use them. I just have never remove any teeth out of them. Lol.
Olá! Amei essa peça! Pode add legendas em português por favor? Grata
I purchased the spring snaps you listed on pattern. You used your kam press with those. What die set did you purchase to use in your kam press?
I don’t actually have a kam press. Mine is from goldstar tool so their dies are not compatible with a kam press. You’ll want to reach out to them and ask what die you need for a 12.5 mm spring snap.
This is like thanks
For cotton,, Use some decovil heavy and just wrap the edges. boom you done son
I enjoyed making this apart from I struggled to see the cut to be able to sew underneath. Other than that great pattern.
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I wanted to know how do you pull the threads through to the back when sewing the zipper down?
I don’t understand the question 🤔. I pull them to the back the same way I do for the card slots. Just gently tug on one of the thread strings from the wrong side until you get a loop, then pull the loop through to get both threads to the wrong side and tie.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thanks so much for the reply. Makes sense now!
I was trying to make mine earlier but my zipper came out really wonky. i was just using an all purpose zipper. is there a certain one? any tips of sewing the zipper?
This is my first time making a wallet. Would the card strip work from fleece or flannel? I have a strip that is about the right size and color.
I would NOT use fleece. Flannel should be fine. You really just want a material that is as thin as possible so it doesn’t get super thick as you fan fold it for the card slots.
Thank you I used quilt cotton ❤
What can I use for the cards,it’s, I don’t have any landscape fabric and can’t find grosgrain 2.5”
Anything lightweight like quilting cotton or broadcloth would work. You can use pinking shears along the edges to prevent fraying but honestly, the card slot edges get pretty well sealed when the leather edges are glued so its a moot point (but does get asked)
Can I use a size 14 spring snap. I have kam snaps but the smallest size she has is a 14.
Can’t say that I’m familiar with their snaps but as long as it’s a “spring snap” or a “fashion snap” it should be fine. You just want to avoid heavy duty snaps designed for thick leather projects etc.
Lindsey how do you skive (sp) leather?
They sell small hand held skivers using replaceable blades or I personally use a bell skiver.
I didn't notice in the pattern if we are to use a #5 or #3 zipper. The two I have made I used a #5 and it seems a little thick in the edges.
It really doesn’t matter, both will work just fine. I prefer #5’s myself.
does the leather glue work on cork or other fabrics?
No not really. You’ll need a glue specifically designed for materials with a fabric backing (that vinyl and cork have) like fabritac
Great tutorial. I just bought the pattern today. Where do you buy your zippers from? I haven't worked with metal teeth. Any tips on sewing over them (I have an industrial)
Thanks! I get mine by the yard from Ningbags but they closed the end of 2021 to prep for a wholesale model of business so I’m not sure when they will be opening back up. Their zips are 2 way zips which I prefer. I don’t sew over the metal teeth, I remove the extras on the ends to keep them out of the seam allowance. I have a another TH-cam video going over metal zips. 👍🏻
Linds can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this video using CW? Pretty Please??
What size of snap closure do we need to use.
I use a 12.5mm spring snap or fashion snap. You don’t want to use a heavy duty snap designed for thick leather or it’ll be very hard to open and close and probably won’t set right with the thinner vinyls.
I want to order your file to be able to cut it out on a cricket maker three. My problem is I’ve never owned a cricket and just received one for Christmas. I wonder if you would do a step-by-step on how to load your file onto my computer and into cricket. I would appreciate any help on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciate it
I offer the svgs as a courtesy to my customers requesting them but I don’t own a cutting machine myself so I’ve never used the SVGs. My super awesome friend Krystal Townsend over at Charming Cheek boutique has a video on her TH-cam channel where she covers the basics for a Cricut. You can find her video here: NO LONGER LIVE: Cricut & SVG with Me - Ashley Clutch Wallet

@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you I watched her and it was very helpful
This video was SO helpful and I can't wait to try this pattern. Thank you! What thread would you recommend using on this for a domestic machine?
If your machine can handle a bonded nylon 69 I’d recommend that, otherwise go the thickest your machine can handle so maybe an upholstery thread.
I saw somewhere that you could embroider on the strap, does anyone know the website where this can be found? I have an embroidery machine with his love to do that too.
Yes the most popular place for the custom strap tabs is creations by Connie embroidery. Another one is Crashing Waves
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you so much, cant wait to make......
double check that you're not at risk. WAS THAT A CREDIT CARD? can you blur the #'s?
They are all old, not in use cards I use for demo purposes.
I love these wallets, however I am having some issues. I sew with Brother SE 625 and when I go to sew the zipper my bobbin thread catches and wads up on the short ends. It's very frustrating as these are cute wallets and I really like them but I'm having so much trouble going over the zipper with my machine. Any suggestions??
If you’re using double sided tape that could be the issue. Maybe try using a wash away kind that would cause your needle to get gummed up and stick.
What landscaping fabric should I look for at Home Depot. Husband says there are different grades of it. I'm not sure what to tell him to buy. Thank you :)
The one I grabbed is “vigoro” brand and says “natural weed control. Made with renewable corn. 40in by 36 ft”
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns Awesome! Thank you so much for responding so quickly.
Lyndsey, where or how to I find this pattern to purchase? I currently have this wallet but it is of quilted cotton, have been scouring for this pattern!! I’m a bag maker and this would be a great addition to my product. tYIA
On my website Lindshandmade.com
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thanks so very much!
Can a Kam snap be used on this pattern?
Yep!
What kind of thread are you using.
I use bonded 69 nylon
I guess everyone else can hear better than me because my volume is on high and I can't hear everything. But what I see is good and I do have cc. The problem with that on my phone is, it often covers what you're doing.
What type of foot do you use to sew leather and or vinyl? New to this. Thank you.
I’m a MS member also 😉
I highly recommend a Teflon foot. It prevents the vinyl/leather from sticking to the foot and makes all the difference in the world. Other options would be a roller foot or walking foot.
What weight leather did you use in this tutorial?
I don’t have a gauge but I’d say it’s no thicker than 2.5oz
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you. Love the tutorial great information in everything you do and your patterns are very well written and executed.
I didn’t catch the type of glue. Also, there are 2 different types of spring snaps from Kam Snaps. Which ones did you use?
For leather I use a water based adhesive called EcoWeld. As for the snaps I don’t have a kam press so I honestly don’t know which one to recommend from them, sorry 🥴
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you!
Is the strap/snap thingy necessary? Will my cards fall out easily if I skipped that step? (I don't have the snap die yet but I really wanna make this 😝)
Actually it’s just an added precaution but with that piece being glued shut it’s actually pretty snug in there and not entirely necessary. Go for it!
What roll of double sided tape did you get from wawak? The leather vinyl tape or med strength one or sewing and craft one? Or something else? Thanks for your guidance on this.
The strong leather/vinyl one!
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly.
Looking at the dimensions. I'd like a wallet that comfortably fits paper money lengthwise, not folded in half. Does it slide paper money in comfortably?
Yes!! It’s my every day wallet and my cash fits perfectly in there 👌🏻
I got the SVG file no i can not open it, how can I get the pattern
The free svgs were bundled in WITH the pdf pattern with pattern pieces in a zip file. Please make sure to open it on a device capable of unzipping or extracting the files.
If you're planning to use vinyl do you need to glue the two pieces for the snap closure? If so what kind of glue? Thank you!
For my vinyl or cork makes I use fabriTac 👍🏻. Move quickly though because it dries FAST!
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns I saw that when I finished the video🤦♀️. Thank you so much for replying though. I can't wait to make these!
Where do I purchase the pattern.

Hi. Where do you buy the landscaping fabric? This exact textured leather?
Click the little arrow below the video to the right, it’ll open up the video description where all the supplies and where I got them are listed. The landscaping fabric comes on a 40” roll from Home Depot.
Where did you buy the leopard print cork?? Can't wait to make a million of these.
From Fabricfunhouse.com!
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you! Purchased a bunch.
Hello how do I get this pdf pattern?
www.lindshandmade.com/product-page/purse-pal
Wow, thank you. Where did you get your metal name tag?
I ordered mine from Alibaba.
Thanks
What leather did you use for this project?
Cowhide
What weight and kind of leather do you use if you don’t mind me asking? I looked on Tandy and holy cow (pun intended)
I prefer to stick with one that has a firmer temper and keep it 2-2.5oz or less. The layers can add up and get quite thick if it’s any thicker than that.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns thank you so much. I was so confused.
What is the name of the glue you used for this project
Eco weld from Tandy leather. It’s a water based adhesive.
Where do you suggest to get leather for this project? 🥺
Check out peggysuealso on Etsy. She has every leather under the sun and small project piece sizes that would be perfect for this.
Where do you buy the pattern??? I wanna make this!

@@LindsHandmadeDesigns perfect. Is there svgs for your new pattern too
Yes!

do you sell purse pals
I do. I don’t have a lot of time for customs but I do have 3 of this exact one in the video on hand.
Do you have a link for the set of dies from Amazon
I didn’t get my hand press from Amazon. My particular press is from Goldstar tools so that’s where I also bought the dies for it.
I ment he set u had in the plastic box
