Yesterday as I sewed, I was using a new (to me) material.

I was at the fabric store with my mom on Saturday, and I was picking up some buckram to stabilize my new wallet design. I’ve used buckram before, and it’s pretty sturdy. Gives you just a little bend, but still helps hold a shape. I thought I would try it out in this wallet (which I will show off soon). The amazing woman cutting for us suggested I try something else.

Peltex.

If you’ve never sewed with this before, you have no idea why it’s so scary. If you have – you might have an idea of my woes.
