When I was at the Craft & Hobby show last week, I made sure to visit Allison Kreft Abad in the Hambly Studios booth…I just love their papers. I was oohing and aahing over these adorable wallets she had made by trapping Hambly scrapbook papers in between two layers of vinyl….such a fun way to use vinyl.
The designer of this wallet pattern, Kristy Boucher (aka Dear Sukie), appeared on the Martha Stewart Show with this project…even Martha thinks it’s fun!
What we love about the wallet, of course, is the vinyl—our new and improved Quilter’s Vinyl is just the ticket…it’s the perfect weight for stitching up all kinds of cute crafts. This month we just released it in handy 1.5 yard rolls (which should be enough for a few wallets) plus it’s also available on the bolt.

I’ve never heard of this product before. I’m wondering if you could make placemats from it. My idea placement would be completely waterproof, though, so it could be dunked in a dishpan of water for washing, or at least scrubbed and held under a faucet. Do you have any idea if that would work? It would be great if it could be heat sealed on all four sides.
I have made adorable placemats, but I haven’t tested how the vinyl would melt with a heat gun…might be toxic? Would be interesting to test a clear, waterproof glue or sealer in between the layers of vinyl, against the outer edge of your stitching instead.
There’s a tape that’s used by campers to seal things like tents, raingear, and, inflatables….I am not sure what it’s called, but that might work as well.
My favorite room in the house has to be my sewing room, it is there that all my happiness in creating and imagination is. It is the place I am most happy………m
