This is the first belt pouch that I made to fit my phone. It's made from these faux leather fabric samples that were in my fabric stash. The sizes are pretty small which meant piecing them together to make the patterns work. This smaller bag is made from 3 separate swatches.  The main part is just a rectangle folded in half and an added strip on one side to make it the correct width. The loop is made very simply by trimming around the raised pattern, folding in half, and sewing firmly to the back half of the main piece.

A simple wallet that's just big enough for cards and cash. Mine has my name embroidered on the outside! The main fabric is my  Chinese Paper Cut Dinosaur Red on Black It folds open to reveal pockets for holding cards. And it has the typical cash pocket. This one is lined with my  Garden Carpet Chevron Navy fabric. To start off  you need one of  Spoonflower's  8"x8" swatches of both lining and outer fabric with the white borders still attached. This is the step to embroider the outer fabric if you so choose. To finish the wallet, tuck the lining pocket into the outer shell and fold in half. The outside when opened. Close up on my name.
