Necessary clutch wallet tips and tricks

While I was attending a Modern Quilt Guild sewing retreat, one of my guild sisters showed us her NCW and told us about a NCW Facebook Group.  This group is packed full of thousands of NCW makers who provide all sorts of tips and tricks on making your own NCW.  I highly recommend you join this closed FB Group when you make your first NCW.  You will find all sorts of NCW hacks, shortcuts and enhancements to the already wonderful pattern!

This video tutorial, by Jean the JellyRollQueen, is very useful!  She explains an easier way to make the wallet.

Jean has many other YouTube videos as well!

    I notice you have an interior strap that isn’t on the original pattern. How do you make this?
    Thanks
