Do you have some scrap felt laying around, and don't know what to do with it? Well you can turn it into a cute wallet in no time!
What you'll need,
*felt
*sizzors
*embroidery thread
* buttons
*measuring tape
*cardboard
*paint marker
*drivers license/credit card to measure
*sewing machine, if you don't own one, you can stitch this by hand no problem :)
First I measured and cut out the size and shape I wanted my wallet to be, in cardboard.
Then lay the cardboard onto the felt, and trace. Paint markers work great for felt.
My cardboard piece measure 4x9".
I then cut my second piece of felt, for the firs set of pockets, 3,5x7,7".
Cut the third piece, 2,5x7,7", and pin the two felt pieces together. Mark 1" from the bottom edge, and sew the two pieces together. This will make sure your cards will stay in place, and not disappear in the felt.
Then measure and cut your last piece of felt 1,5x7,7", measure, pin all the pieces together, and sew down the middle of all 4 layers, then sew around all 4 edges.
Now you can decorate with embroidery thread, and buttons if you like. Enjoy :)

Jose mourinho was famous, another unexpected success make mussina became a "phenomenon". Many people use when he began studying, self-confidence, shape... Jose mourinho has become a success. But many people neglect that jose mourinho's elaborate efforts to prepare. Like jose mourinho said: "when ready to become your part of the body, Mens Vibram Fivefingers Kso shoes greygreen it will always there and help you achieve surprising victory." Jose mourinho is a story, you need me to go slowly. Heart in praying for you, hope you can lead to real Madrid this "the merengues" create a "mourinho dynasty".
