haha brilliant! Isn't it funny how easy it is to overlook the simplest solutions? I never would have thought of graph paper.

Thank you Sylvia for your suggestions. I tried making my own pattern but it turned out kinda wonky. I will try and apply your infor and see if that helps :D

Hi All, I can't seem to find a pattern for an ID holder. Am I calling it the wrong thing? I'm talking about the see through holder you put your student ID or work ID in and hang from your neck on a lanyard. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Ellen

Hi all, I am still a bit confused about the pieces of the album. It looks like on the outside of it there are 3 separate pieces? A front, back and a piece along the spine? And they are sewn together. Then the stiffiner is glued to the other side and lining is put on top of that. Is the lining all in one piece? I am more of a visual learner so I'm having a bit of trouble wading through all the descriptions. Thanks for all the info. though it is a huge help

Here here!

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was a huge help

Sweet! Thanks Madmax

Awesome! I love the design

What the heck is that thing???

I really like the coloring and design. Can I get a copy of the purse pattern? It's pretty cool

THAT is a masterpiece!

I just ran across your pdf download. Thx!!

Hi Kevin, I really like the wallet liners you use. Is there a specific site you get them from? Ellen

All good tips! thanks. I was wondering how I was going to get this off my hands lol

I recently got some alcohol based dye from a company that went out of business. I have no background info on it except that it was for shoes and fabrics. I have never used alcohol dye before. I have only used ecoflo. I was playing around with the alcohol dye and supersheen seems to work as a finish. Of course I don't know about the longterm performance of supersheen on an alcohol dye. What do you use as a finishing coat for alcohol dye? And if I understand correctly I would use regular alcohol to thin it? What do you use for a storage container for the leftover dye? and where do you dispose of dye you want to throw away? Thanks for any info. Ellen

Doh! sorry bout that. That's what I get for skimming posts. It is a lovely design though...nice work!

Beautiful! I really like th dragon. Where did u get the picture for it? I would love to get a copy.

Yikes that is a lot of money to throw away

hehe good to know thx thx Fredo...I found some at JoAnn's Fabrics on the way home from work today too.

Sorry to hear u are sick. Get well soon! Ellen

cool! I was looking at the lining remnants on ebay and they do seem to be quite a bit cheaper than pigskin but I am really just looking for more variety in patterns and colors for liners. I have tanner's bond and may try that on a test piece. I am curious about the 3m product. Where is this sold? A hardware store? and it comes in different numbers? I dont know what that's about. Thanks again for all you help

Hi Madmax22, What is 3m 99 and where do I get it? thanks!

Hi all, Up til now I have been using pigskin and suede to line purses but I was wondering if anyone uses fabric and if so what kind? Do you use tanner's bond to glue it or something else? Does the glue leak thru the fabric? I saw some fabric for upholstery but I really have no idea. Thanks for you help Ellen
