I went to Joanns this week to pick up more vinyl fabric to make more wallets. They had the cool tire tread vinyl that I bought last time in black, gray and tan, but not in red. The red I got in a slightly thicker vinyl but it will do in a pinch. I'll be playing with contrasting colors and with contrasting colored thread in the not-too-far-future.
Basting tape should arrive today and that will allow me to sew down the raw edges. Doing so will mean that I will have to add 2/8'' to the length and 1/8" will be gobbled up in the seam allowance.
Going back to the honey-do list, I am drawing out the pattern multiple times on the fabric and will cut them all out at once to increase production. Also, I have started cutting inside the pen markings to make sure that the pattern measurement is true (and thus tight).
Below is a picture of wallet 7.0 with an accent color. When I get the basting tape and pattern modified, I will probably call that 7.1.
