Bob asked me to make him something for his birthday with less than a week to go. I wasn’t sure what I could whip up, but then I spotted his worn old wallet & remembered that I had bought him a new one over a year ago which he didn’t like, so I had returned it. I took his old one, snapped a few photos to refer back to, measured it & sketched it up. The next day I went looking through my fabrics to find something useful. I ended up eliminating everything but my denim scraps. After looking through my collection of bindings, I settled on a striped vintage bias binding that I believe came from my grandma and a remnant of some brush denim from what I think I made a pair of pants from in high school…does anyone else out there even remember brush denim? He was very pleased with it & especially liked how soft the denim was. I hope it last as long as the last one, but if not, I now have a pattern.
