From car pools to quick walks with the dogs and everything in between, we all need a compact wallet that we can just grab on the go. That’s why we love the On the Go Wallet pattern.  This simple pattern is designed to hold the important, “can’t” live without items you need everday.

We love the idea of taking a simple pattern and adding a splash of color and embroidery detail. These little touches really elevate the project to the next level. Really, the possibilities with this pattern are endless. This simple pattern can be used in so many ways. Some of our favorites include:

• gift card holders
• date night wallet
• cell phone holder

Just by adding a simple strap or key lobster claw hardware, this pattern will  take on a whole new look.

This project is also a great beginner sewing pattern to try if  you’re teaching someone how to sew. Straight seams, clear instructions, and a functional item at the end, what more can you ask for?

Simple does not mean boring! You can transform your wallet just by adding a few scraps or even a decorative embroidery stitch. For anyone who has never really explored the world of hand embroidery, here is a quick video to give you an idea of all the amazing stitches you can create.
