Wallet Pattern
Meet the new Enya Wallet pattern: versatile, with lots of options, and a professional finish.
This stylish and sleek crossbody wallet will win your heart the minute you start sewing it: it comes with tons of pockets and a few smart tweaks such as a detachable keyholder strap, a separate front pocket for your most frequently used items (ID card, bus pass?), pockets with and without zippers, card slots and some space for a little extra that won’t usually fit into a regular wallet.
A stylish and smart design and a professional look. The multi-piece front panel enables you to showcase your prettiest fabric prints while allowing for a multitude of styles and materials.
FEATURES:
- A stylish and sleek crossbody style wallet
- Top zipper closure, handy and secure.
- Slim design with a little bit more room than a regular wallet
- Mix-and-match project: combine luxurious faux leather, cork, suede or vinyl with printed cotton. Ideal to showcase your prettiest fabric prints.
- A detachable lanyard-like keyholder was added for security and convenience.
- A removable, adjustable strap makes it seamless to convert your wallet from a shoulder to crossbody style or carry it as a clutch.
- 2 options for strap connectors, changing the look of your Enya wallet!
AND TONS OF POCKETS:
- Eight card pockets, an interior zippered coin pocket, and a bill pocket keep your credit cards and money handy.
- Front flap pocket for something you need frequently such as an ID card, or a bus pass. (quick access pocket)
- A phone slip pocket that will fit any phone size.
- An extra zippered pocket on the outer back for coupons, or coins.
- Main compartment for additional items a wallet alone cannot hold, like a lipstick, a USB or a pack of keys.
Options, options! Even the strap connectors can be installed in two different ways! This wallet has a removable strap so you can use it as a wallet in a larger purse if you need to carry more than just your phone, cards, and cash. Use it as a purse insert for my Sophia crossbody the large size, or as a minimalistic on-the-go crossbody bag. A perfect match for a summer night out!
