First, I must say sorry for the awful pics. I completely forget to take better ones before I sent them.

This was for the Cryptozoology swap and went to @Kwality570. A while ago she saw a wallet at a craft show with this closure and I pinned it back then. I decided to try it now and I think it turned out cute. I love the latch. I have four more that I plan to make for the Shop the Swap this Fall.

I make it using Bigfoot fabric first, but cut it out wrong and it was too small. I didn’t have any more of that fabric, so I went to the Loch Ness.

It was a fun pattern and I enjoyed sewing, even if I had to make it twice. Ha!

Thanks for looking!

very cool, I like both.

You could bind the edges of big foot to make it wider, with or without ripping out the side seams. I always seem to be ripping stuff apart.

and what an interesting clasp! where did you get it?

Amazon. LOL! I threw out the Bigfoot wallet. I was thinking of ways to save it and realized I hoard way too much. I didn’t want another half project in my craft room, so in a moment of clarity, I chucked it. I need to have that kind of clarity when I start cleaning that room. It’s stuffed to the brim.

Great wallet! And your fabrics are totally cool. I’m assuming those are maybe from Spoonflower…?

They are just listed as Kiss Clasps, but that wouldn’t be of much help, so…
