On my sewing table today is a rainbow version of t On my sewing table today is a rainbow version of the #zakkacardwallet. I used colourful Cross-stitch fabric by @alisonglass for @andoverfabrics to create a rainbow effect. So colourful and fun! 

This wallet is constructed using a foundation paper piecing method which gives accurate results. If you are new to FPP, this is the perfect beginner friendly project. All you need in a charm pack of fabric, and a larger offcut for the backing. It can be easily made in an afternoon.
