My son Alex is always complaining that I never make anything for him!! Before you say "Poor boy!" read back some of my posts and you'll see how unfair this accusation really is.

Anyway, next month he's going on a 3 day school trip and all the children are allowed some pocket money. Alex has a wallet but it doesn't have a zipper and he needs one where he can keep his change safely... Enter crafty mum and this is it:

Wallet for Alex

He chose the patterned felt he wanted me to use and I spent the whole morning working on it mainly because I really don't like sewing zippers onto things, never did and no matter how many tutorials I see on the Internet telling me how easy they are to sew I'll never get the hang of it!

Can't wait for him to come back from school today and see this.
