A Nickel for Free
New free pattern from Nosy Pepper Patterns! This minimalist PDF pattern is the perfect way to use up some scraps of your favourite non-fray material. Also, it’s ridiculously fast to sew, seriously!
Cyndi of Nosy Pepper has been a bag maker, a blogger and a pattern tester for a while now, but she’s branching out to make patterns of her own. This, her first, is a freebie, and she’s got another pattern ready to be released soon.
I tested the pattern and it was so easy and quick. I used Kraft-tex for mine, and others used cork, leather, and vinyl. Using a non-fray material means not having to worry about finishing the edges so it cuts way down on production time.
There’s a centre pocket and 2 outer pockets, meaning it can hold at least 3 cards, or some cash on one side, with cards in the other slots.
It works great as a gift card holder when you want to give a more personal touch.
Load it up and toss it into your evening clutch – no need to worry about loose cards and cash!
Give it go! If you are a member of the Sew Sweetness Cork Club, this project works really well with 2 pieces of coordinating cork. Maybe you have some leather or vinyl scraps, or you’re looking for a project to finally try out that Kraft-tex you’ve been hanging onto.
