My work in progress, Wallet cum Passport holder. The same design as Wallet Project - 6 with another fabric print. The one made earlier has already gone to a friend.

Another tool, the plastic pattern sheet on the left. For pattern which I use a few times, I use plastic sheet so that it is long lasting...
Something like this, but the one I used is thinner... so cheaper...

Thanx for sharing Anic..reminds me of my tacking gun which i used for tacking my price tags..i wonder if i can use it for basting too..i must start searching for the gun..i misplaced it during the moving out...
Hi Ros, the price tacking fastener maybe a bit too thick? Better try it on scrap first in case kain rosak ..
The basting gun's fastener supposed to be thin, should be about the thickness of basting thread... I saw the spec saying something like 0.4mm
cant really image how it works.. maybe next time I need to see the video (here utube is blocked hehe)
