Recently I made a nice 17th century style market wallet, these used to be very common among soldiers or townsfolk in the 17th - 18th century for carrying food and personal belongings . The one I made is of double linen and is very strong and very comfortable to wear - great for carrying some shopping or even books . There are lots of sites on the net explaining how to make them. A great first sewing project as they are very easy to make.
