Passport Wallet Done...

...but don't look too close at my stitching!! I had trouble going over all the layers trying to sew it closed from turning out... First one made is the trial though, right!?!
It be mine anyway... lol!
My first time using a snap closure like that... easy-peasy! 8-)
Thanks for the tutorial Annemiek!
I have a few more to make! 8-)

The inside of the Passport Wallet
I made a few cutting boo-boos, modifications, and fussy cut the Pug pups to show nice and whole, only to...
... cut off a pups head with my passport inserted!!! Grrrrr....
Perhaps I should have put the Pug print on the outside, and the paw print on the inside... Lesson learned! 8-)
My brain wasn't working at full speed at all yesterday at Wonky Bits, when I was planning and cutting... 8-/
I am very happy with it though, and will use it for my trips to Wisconsin to visit DD1 in the future... It will always be ready to grab and go, and hopefully with US currency at the ready! I've been known to have forgotten to do an exchange before leaving Canada!!! Not good... 8-/

Off to go "mother-of-the-bride" dress shopping with the DH now... Hopefully it will turn out to be worth the effort today...

Happy stitchings!

Hmmm. Won't you be shopping for two dresses/outfits?

Cute and useful too.
We don't bother exchanging money before we go to USA. We just go to a bank ATM and take money out. It may be a bit worse exchange but we don't have to think ahead that way.

Great wallet!!
I always dread the clothing purchases. The designers & I seem to have different ideas on clothing.:)

Thank so much for stopping by & leaving the nice comments on my blog.
