Hello! I hope you are having a great day. My day started too early for me and now I get to sit and hand quilt while I watch your fun video. I hope you have a beautiful week ahead Thank you for posting this video!
I think the reason the sides were short was how much you sewed the center when you attached the zipper pocket. Instead of 1/4" you did 1/2 on both sides - just what I think.
Thank you for the video. I just tried to make one and had the worst time trying to sew the zipper pocket to the sides. I too kept having to remove stitches and start over. I finally managed to catch 3 areas but never could catch one of the sides with the zipper so I hand stitched back and forth in one spot to secure it.
Hi Jess, I love your tutorials! Just released my first bag pattern, but I wouldn’t have been confident making what I do if it weren’t for your tutorials!
I made my vertical cards slots using a file folder for a template. I used the directions on the pattern, but the second row card slot, came up to far, I thought, so I made the fold come a half inch below the first outside fold. It looks better and the cards are stair stepped. I also just want to say, thank you. I have watched so many videos and none of them get into the details of the construction, as well as you do. So appreciate it. I’m working on my third mini wallet and do enjoy it, but this last one has been such a pain. About ready to throw it across the room. Lol. Outside is thin vinyl and this stuff does not want to be sewed. I used vinyl with thick backing and my Juki TL 2010 Q wine through all those layers like butter. Now with this one, the machine is skipping stitches and just not sewing it right. I tried used my industrial Brother and it broke a needle. What a mess! I’ll figure it out. Thanks
I loved this video so much! You were doing some of the same things I do and even though no one else can see the problem, I see it and I drive myself nuts so I have to walk away🤪 I think you're a wonderful teacher and your super power is your energy and humor. Take care and keep makin' these videos!👛♥
I’ve made at least 20 of these and love them! As always, I learned a couple of new things from your video . A couple of shortcuts I do - I make the card slots double wide then cut them in half. Saves a little time. I also insert the decovil in the flap after I topstitch. Since I’m using a domestic, I find it easier.
Thanks so much for your videos. I love this pattern as well. I’ve made a change in the way I make these. I have included a zip pocket on the outside back of the wallet.
Thank you for another great video! 🤗 You mentioned tension with bobbin winding and different thread weights in the beginning. Would you be open to making a video about tension for the machine when sewing and the bobbins ?(and whatever other tension things that're important). I loved your informational video on interfacing, and as a superrr beginner sewer I would love to soak up more of your wisdom. Thanks again for all that you do!!🤗
Hello Jess, I was wondering if it is possible for you to do a mens wallet with vinyl outside and quilting cotton inside needs to hold notes , one side cards 3 with pocket behind than clear picture holder and behind that 3 cards ,than coin slip with zip behind that pocket , 22cm longs and 8 cm high regards Natalie
Oh TY!!! I’ve made 4 or 5 of the large but have 3 of the mini’s (for production sewing) & have them in the “time out” bin since the week the Mini came out!! I just strongly disliked (aka hated) how the pattern kept referring me back to the original pattern!! It was just SO confusing going back & forth between the (paper) patterns when I never really read the original pattern since I just watched your video instead of reading the pattern!! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!
Hiya, hope you can help me out! Have you seen those clips that have a small paddle at the end. They’re like regular sewing clips but the part that attaches to the fabric is round???
I really wish I could use some of my vinyl sheets for these! I have a boatload of 8x11 sheets that I’d love to utilize for these but can’t figure out how.
I would love to hear more about thread use in the Bernina ! I just bought my first Bernina, the B 590 Crystal. Love your color combination on this mini!
Could the reason they didn't come up as high because you made the 1" box at the bottom rather than the 1/2" box? Thanks for another great tutorial and the inspiration!
Would you be able to provide the information of the materials that you used on your sample. It will be really appreciated it. I’m completely new on sewing, you inspire me to learn how to sew. So thank you so much
Hello Jess I just love this wallet , I was saying the other day to my daughter Jess I would like it if you could make a smaller one, yes you did it thank you so much,,, 😊 ☺ I just love it it is so easy to make þhank you again now I brought both patterns 😊😊😊😊😊
OMG 😘😂 you're too cute! And timely! Just fixin to make a few for me and my daughters! They'll pair nicely with the Krystal Convertible I'm also making 🤗
Love your tutorials. Made a few of the bags you’ve done now but on a small domestic machine, need to upgrade what would you suggest as my next machine? There’s so many I’m confused or a little overwhelmed 😍
Can you pre-crease those side stitch lines and stitch the upper inch before adding in? Just curious…I have not tried making it. A okay, never mind…would not work at all. 😊
I just got my newest order of them. The medium is amazing for quilt cotton and card slots. If you need to press it to vinyl or cork....or wpc, press from interfacing side.... No need for press cloth! ❤️
I have tried to make both sizes. And my sewing machine just can’t sew through the flaps or the sides of the wallet 😢 man it just gets me down ever time. So I’m saving for a industrial. Than I’m going to sew 100 of these. I’m not going to sleep or eat. Just NCW 😅🎉
She does have a video called the Easy Peasy Checkbook Wallet. It's her own design that she did for her grandmother. Check it out to see if that is what you are looking for.
That is a LauraStar iron, and I too am questioning my sanity in having purchased it - EXCEPT - I quilt. Quilters have an obsession with flat seams. They use all sorts of specialized products with their pressing to achieve those flat seams. I use my LauraStar iron. That’s all. Press down (don’t sweep the iron), give a shot of steam, then dry press, and that is all.
A tailors clapper set on the hot fabric you used for the card slots while they cooled will set those creases quite nicely, and frees up your hands.
Hello! I hope you are having a great day. My day started too early for me and now I get to sit and hand quilt while I watch your fun video. I hope you have a beautiful week ahead Thank you for posting this video!
You’re so encouraging! I feel more confident after watching your videos. Love you personally you make me happy to mess up!
I think the reason the sides were short was how much you sewed the center when you attached the zipper pocket. Instead of 1/4" you did 1/2 on both sides - just what I think.
Aaaaaaarrrgghhhhh!! I didn’t think the ncw could get any cuter!!!! They look amazing Jess :)

I love how you work through the issue we all have. So helpful to see you problem solve!
I was hoping you would do this one! I can’t sew as good without your videos. Thank you 😊🌺
I loved this video so much!

Hey Jess I would love to see you wine the bobbin with the Tex 35 thread. I would be a option for me with my bernina. Great video thanks
Hey Jess, was wondering if a key fob would work in place of the rivets?
Have you considered using a tailor's clapper to hold it down to cool? They absorb the heat and make things cool down super flat
I’ve made at least 20 of these and love them! As always, I learned a couple of new things from your video . A couple of shortcuts I do - I make the card slots double wide then cut them in half.

That’s a great tip!
Wow Jess! That is one pricey iron!! Thanks for the video!
I love so much all your tutorial! I love how you show that’s it OK to make mistake! Thank you so much! Sorry for my english i’m a french women!
Thanks so much for your videos. I love this pattern as well. I’ve made a change in the way I make these. I have included a zip pocket on the outside back of the wallet.
thanks for all your tutorials!

I want to try the xl and xxl
Thank you for this video! Very helpful!

The iron name should be. Pink dragon. So sassy!🥰
I've been eyeing that Laurastar steam iron!
Hi girlie......you look good......love that top you're wearing (okay, back to the video 😊)
Hiya, hope you can help me out! Have you seen those clips that have a small paddle at the end. They’re like regular sewing clips but the part that attaches to the fabric is round???
I just adore the mini!

Love your color combination on this mini!
So it’s it not a lot the same as the envelope wallet that is your favorite 🤩 lol
Love your videos. Thanks for teaching us.
I'd love to see you do either a coffin wallet or bag from Seamingly Wicked.

Yes, I want to know more about tension/bobbin winding….PLEASE
Could the reason they didn't come up as high because you made the 1" box at the bottom rather than the 1/2" box? Thanks for another great tutorial and the inspiration!
I was thinking the same thing. I’m sure that’s why the height difference happened.
Jess, enjoy your videos. When are you going to give us more videos on your industrial machine? I have a Juki & would love to see some. 😀
When looking on an acrylic template site, they have an XL NCW.
Would you be able to provide the information of the materials that you used on your sample. It will be really appreciated it. I’m completely new on sewing, you inspire me to learn how to sew.
So thank you so much
Can rip stop fabric be used instead of water resistant fabric, or inside?
Finally, a Baby Yoda fabric shown on the channel!
Do you know where it came from by chance? Im striking out
Hello Jess I just love this wallet , I was saying the other day to my daughter Jess I would like it if you could make a smaller one, yes you did it thank you so much,,, 😊 ☺ I just love it it is so easy to make þhank you again now I brought both patterns 😊😊😊😊😊

EB Fuse doesn't wrinkle and you can iron it!
Good to know. I have the samples to try out, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
I just got my newest order of them. The medium is amazing for quilt cotton and card slots. If you need to press it to vinyl or cork....or wpc, press from interfacing side.... No need for press cloth! ❤️
Thanks so much for your feedback. Much appreciated! I love Emmaline Bag hardware and vinyl too! Love their shop! ♥️
Have you done the zippered top version?
I love your videos! Could you please do the every day every way bag from byannie?
Is that a laurastar?! I have one and love it!!
Where in the pattern does it say the length of the zipper? I’ve read it so many times and I can’t find it :(
Please tell us about the iron.
What patterns are best for beginners besides this wallet?
I have tried to make both sizes. And my sewing machine just can’t sew through the flaps or the sides of the wallet 😢 man it just gets me down ever time. So I’m saving for a industrial. Than I’m going to sew 100 of these. I’m not going to sleep or eat. Just NCW 😅🎉
Where do I get the pattern ?
Is the box you sewed supposed to be narrower? Is that why the panels are shorter? Anyway, it is still adorable.
I am ready to make mine soon. I am planning to use the soft vinyls from sewhungryhippie. You should try those , great vinyls too.
Thanks for the mini NCW tute! Also, I gotta get that iron, it’s pink 😱 *runs to google
This is so cute and useful. I have a question. Have you ever made a check book case?
She does have a video called the Easy Peasy Checkbook Wallet. It's her own design that she did for her grandmother. Check it out to see if that is what you are looking for.
What iron are you using?
Even expensive, I'd like to know the brand of iron you are using.
I saw someone else comment that it’s a Laurastar steam iron
I like the wallet but it looks too bulky.
That is a LauraStar iron, and I too am questioning my sanity in having purchased it - EXCEPT - I quilt. Quilters have an obsession with flat seams. They use all sorts of specialized products with their pressing to achieve those flat seams. I use my LauraStar iron. That’s all.
