    Thank you!!! I know what you mean about the binding. I double the binding over for the first stitching. It makes it slightly easier....and I keep a pair of pliers on hand for pulling the needle!!!

That's the last time I'll do that! I do NOT have a pattern for the wallet. I took measurements of her old wallet and went with it. The piece of plastic enclosed in white was the hardest part and looks the worst!!! She says she puts her ID in that and can just pull it out to show when needed. She can't lose it, because it's attached to the wallet. I love the idea, but man was it ever hard to make! I also had fun with my HotFix tool and glued little sparkley gems to the centers of the flowers on the bow tuck.
