I teach Steven that crime does pay

Steven flat out steals borrows bus fare from my wallet so often I'm seriously considering involving the police. As a belated Valentine's present I decided to make him something that will reduce his thievery and redress the fact he doesn't have a key chain for his house keys. See this snap at the top?

It conceals a pocket with enough space for two lots of bus fare. It supposed to be for emergencies so no more of that pesky, 'I can't come home quickly to rescue you from the children because I have to go to the bank first and then break my note at the shop for bus fare.' But seeing that his wallet was empty last night and I had to fill it with my very own money this morning, I'm not 100% certain that it'll be stocked for long. Or used for emergencies only.

Being uber-masculine, I didn't have too much license on the fabric choices so I used the same print I used for his Ipod cozy. I think it's cute enough that I'll make myself one with much snazzier fabric. With a pocket for cyanide.

  4. Beautiful and practical! I'd use something like that - any chance of a tutorial? It would make an excellent gift for several people I know!

  5. Fantastic! We have exactly the same £1.20 dilemma every morning. Mind you, him losing the car keys yesterday was traumatic enough, I don't think our marriage would survive if he lost such a nifty fabric based gift!
