Almost ready...

Having chosen my fabric, I am close to being ready to start. I was kidding myself about starting with an easier project. I don't think I have the patience, knowing that this project is sitting here waiting I just want to give it a try. Here is my selection:

I'm not usually a blue person, but the pattern really caught my eye. The dark blue (corduroy) was an easy choice, and after about 20 minutes looking for another pattern that would compliment it (without clashing) we settled on a plain light blue. At least this way it won't look too crafty and quilty.

So I am checking and double checking all my measurements before cutting this up. I think I have worked out a way to add a zippered compartment in place of some of the card slots. I mean really, what good is a wallet without a coin section? So back to spotlight tomorrow to buy a zip and little press-stud thingies.
