Sylvia Sling & a wallet

My latest projects: a SYLVIA SLING & a coordinating LONG WALLET

This set is for ME. I love the overall size of the purse, but would prefer the interior pockets to be a bit taller. The wallet is perfect for my use featuring 6 card slots, 3 full width pockets and a large zippered pouch. I can't wait to use these!!!

The patterns...
* The purse pattern was mostly easy to follow. However, the thickness of fabrics made it a little tough to sew in spots. I had a difficult time getting the gusset lined up just right & the handles were a bit of a chore to get on properly. Overall a good pattern, but not for the beginner seamstress.
* The wallet pattern is VERY easy to follow & could be made by a beginner. This wallet sews up quickly & has a very nice finished look. I will definitely be making more of these!!!
