Interface. That’s what HE said.

My current wallet (circa 1995, traded from my sister for a piece of paper or some shit, sans belt-loop-chain) is dying. It’s kind of thick, and because I hatehatehate purses, I need a new wallet.

I covet E’s coinpurse wallet, and I kind of coveted the wallets I saw in the craft tent at Pitchfork, but I don’t want a coinpurse, and Stephanie assured me I could make the wallets I saw in the craft tent.

I decided to take Steph’s optimism home with me, and so during this glorious week of no work (all play), I made myself a wallet. Well, a wallet prototype. But it works.

So, I got out my graph paper, and figured out the height of paper money, the width of two ID cards, and went to work. I initially chose a brown corduroy, thinking it would be stiffer and hold up better (kind of like leather). I was wrong. I refer to it as Eve 6.

So I go to the crafty store, and pick up some interfacing and pinking shears (they are pink). This time, I use cotton fabric that my mom gave me from her gigantic stash of quilting stuff.

This time, I also remember to do the measurements right. Helpful.

So here’s the outcome: I’d like the cash holster to be a bit deeper, but other than that, it’s exactly what I wanted.
