 Mia Everydsy Wallet from Bagstock Designs Whatabout ye folks, it's Lee here.  Back with another handmade project.  This time, I tried my hand at the Mia Wallet from Bagstock Designs.  I have never tried one of their patterns before but boy oh boy are the instructions absolutely fantastic.  I am sure I have mentioned it before, but I am a massive visual learner.  So, if I can see something being done, I can usually pick it up pretty quickly.  So, I did watch a video from Jess over at OklaRoots YouTube channel to get my bearings with this pattern.  But to be honest, the pattern is written so well with great photos to guide you, that I managed to make this pattern without having to refer back to each video step.  However, if you do want to use the video step by step, Jess would be one of my favourite bag makers on YouTube.  She does an incredible job at guiding you through every step of the process. Anywhoodles, here's my Mia wallet.  This was my first time making this pattern so
