I am looking to make a small wallet that will take a few credit cards and my massive car key, I want it as small as possible.

I am looking at this one https://www.spencerogg.com/product/starlight-wallet/

Just wondered if anyone had tried any of her patterns, if so are the instructions good? I am a novice when it comes to bags.

Absolutely love Spencer Ogg patterns @Celia .

They are very well drafted and the instructions are excellent. She has a detailed instruction list with good photos and most patterns have a well produced video tutorial.

I haven’t sewn the Starlight myself but I’ve done loads of others. I’ve just finished the https://www.spencerogg.com/product/boothstown-backpack/ in leather using my new HD9 and am delighted with it.

Diane has a YouTube channel with lots of mini tutorials so you could check that out first.

Having done several bags by other designers, of varying quality, I usually look at Diane’s patterns first

I have also made a couple of her patterns, they are really easy to follow and the video tutorials are great, I would highly recommend x

I made 2 of her Worsely Wallets @Celia for DD1 and the ex.  Very clear instructions and a joy to make.

I bought the pattern and watched some of the video, in it she mentions a free pattern https://youtu.be/20UIIkFqQLs?si=VqLAgUhIuD9H_u6p.

I have cut out the free one and hopefully will make it up this afternoon, I will also do the one I bought but I think it will not work in the fabric I was thinking of, so need to find something stronger or maybe even leather.

Really like her style of teaching
