I finished the wallet very quickly. That was my goal and the pattern leant itself to the goal.
The pattern was free and didn’t discuss using directional fabric. If I made this again, I might put any directional fabric upside down, so it shows right side up on the flap. That means,the motifs would be upside down on the rest of the piece, such as the back. No good solution except making the flap separately, I guess.
I used a light grey batik I have used before for the interior.
Mom really liked it and I barely needed to explain my thinking to her. She loved the idea and immediately put it into use.
