Future of Wallet Designs (the honey-do list)

I'm really digging the wallet designs and like the direction it's going in.  That said, there are plenty of room for improvement which I will list below:

Workflow - I need to cut out a bunch of the templates so I can increase my work flow. I already do this for the money strap but the body of the wallet should also have this.

Hide exposed edges - The wallets will age (hopefully) gracefully but sewing in exposed edges will make the wallets look more professional. This does mean that I have to extend the length by 2/8'' and use basting tape to keep it from slipping, and then top-stitch 1/8''. This has to happen before the assembly of the body since the wallet mouth is too small to wrap around the pressure foot.

Create a box - This is the box the wallet would go in. I am tentatively planning on selling this at the IFAW craft fair so I think it would look snazzy as a stocking stuffer. Anyone have ideas for how much to charge for the wallet?

Buy more vinyl - This is for when I run out vinyl (which is happening soon!). I'll play around with color and texture.

Experiment with decorative stitches - Self explanatory. The money strap will need something other than a zigzag stitch.  Different color options is also a good idea.
