*NEW* Free Pattern! ~ The GameDay Wristlet ~

Hello there! I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!  It’s finally sunny in CNY after a freezing rain and sights of our first snow flurries yesterday. The boys are so excited about the snow season starting, but I’m not quite on board!

As I promised last week, I have a FREE sewing pattern to share with you today!  I am calling it The GameDay Wristlet. This is a very easy pattern to sew up and appropriate for a confident beginner. I made this pattern in under 2 hours and the best part is that there are no fancy pattern pieces to cut out.  Just a few rectangles!

I’ve had this pattern in a to-do-bin packed away for some time.  I guess I wasn’t ready to finish it yet, but a new phone purchase had me getting the bin out to finish it. A few more samples later and a typed up pattern, and here we are!  There are two pockets in this wristlet, with the front designed to be a bit roomier.

The GameDay Wristlet  is great on those days when you have kids games or practice and you don’t want a bag with you. Roomy enough for a large smartphone, money and your ID, the removable swivel snap easily attaches to your car keys or even a belt loop!

There are many ways you can customize The GameDay Wristlet, but to create mine here is a list of the materials I used:

1/4yd  exterior –  home decor OR quilting weight cotton or linen/blend fabric

1/4yd  interior  – home decor OR quilting weight cotton or linen/blend fabric

1/2yd  Pocket Fabric ( 1/4yd & 1/4yd if choosing two different pocket fabric)

1/2 yd of Pellon Interfacing SF101 * for interior main, and pocket pieces*

1/4 yd Fusible Fleece *exterior main*

1/2” magnetic snap  or 1” x 3/4” sew-in velcro  *for closure*

3/4” metal D-ring

3/4” metal swivel hook

I gave one of my GameDay Wristlets a workout the other week and took it to the FSU-vs-Syracuse football game. I was able to clip it on one of my belt loops so I had both hands free to cheer  *or yell*! Worked perfectly.
