Alanna

Introducing Alanna, my new design!  I’m really proud of this pattern and I think you’re going to love it too!  It looks complicated, and that’s the beauty of it, but it really isn’t.  There are full instructions, full pattern pieces, and 2 videos (Part 1 & Part 2) that walk you through step by step.  Best of all it’s the perfect size for your Gratitude Wallet!

It’s also a fabulous size.  10” wide, 7” high, and the base is 4” deep.  It stands up perfectly on it’s own and has lots of room inside.  The exterior has a slip pocket on the front with a magnetic snap, and the back has a zippered pocket with an overlay.  

The interior includes a zippered pocket with an overlay, and slip pockets on both sides.

There are lots of great skills to learn with this pattern, and none of them are difficult.  They’re also easily adapted to other patterns as well.

Pattern rating is Confident Beginner/Intermediate.
