I'm not impressed with the diy lady's wallet. Design may be OK, but her Sewing skills leaves alot to be desired. She didn't press and her topstitching is not consistent. The photo looks like it needs better interfacing. Im quite sure you can make a beautiful wallet with this pattern, or Google some others. Canvas is a good choice, but do wash and dry as suggested. I know you will do a great job.....quilters know how to piece and use a precise 1/4 inch! Best wishes.
