Needles and a Pen bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

another wallet

I made a bunch of these cash and carry wallets before Christmas and found them to be a fun quick project.  I think my confidence level was too high because when I made this one for our trip (I don’t want to carry around my big heavy normal wallet all day), it turned out to be not-so-awesome.  I actually sewed in a couple of puckers in the yellow fabric and the gray bottom stripe gets wider on one side.  Not my finest effort.  But I love the pop of the aqua zipper!

Susanne - Seriously, can you post a tut on how to get your corners so perfect?? I can’t for the life of me get a corner that doesn’t look like camel toe. (SO SORRY for those PG readers)
