I got to play with gorgeous fabric again. And a wristlet pattern version. Have you met the Enya Wallet Pattern yet? It's a great wristlet sewing pattern with a flap that can showcase pretty fabric details.
Also, a great project for fussy cutting, which makes it perfect for the Rhapsody prints. Come take a look!

Wristlet Bag Sewn With the Rhapsody Collection
Sewing with cute fabric is my favorite way to enjoy some me-time - along with designing new sewing patterns! So when I discovered Sedef's new Rhapsody fabric collection, it felt like the perfect match for both my passions.
I decided to test how my brand new pattern, the Enya Wallet would work in these pretty florals. Now, you tell me!

Fabric: the Rhapsody Collection by Sedef Immer
Pattern: Enya Wallet Pattern
I really really love the happy colors used in the prints, and the vintage touch of Sedef's florals. Her collections are such an inspiration, always.
I decided to do a little fussy cutting, centering a bouquet of flowers on the front flap. The perfect place for it! The combo with Rhapsody Dots in teal turned out beautiful!
Pattern Features

This wallet size is perfect for anyone who likes convenience. No more losing your phone, wallet or keys inside a purse. And the pattern includes a detachable keyholder!

While large enough to carry all your wallet necessities including your phone, the Enya is small enough to slip into a larger bag. It will fit into the large size of this Sophia Fold-Over Bag.
Use the original removable crossbody strap that's included in the pattern, or swap it for a wristlet strap like I did. Here's a wristlet strap tutorial that turns the bag into a cute wristlet.
And here's some of the 'inner life' of the wristlet wallet, slip pockets and card slots, and a separate cell phone pocket too.

I'm in love with these florals, and so is my 3-year-old! She insisted I make one for her 'urgent' need to carry her tiny fairy figures. This is why I added a crossbody strap to keep her hands free for all her running and playing!


The front...

And the back.
For this crossbody version of the wallet, I used the Rhapsody Main fabric in teal, paired with the playful Rhapsody Dots in hot pink. I'm absolutely in love with this combo!
