Description
So I've wanted to make one of these for the longest time! And yesterday I finally started it. And crazy enough, today I finished it. I've been working on it like a frickin' mad woman!Anyway, I'm wicked happy with how it turned out. If anyone has any questions on how I made it, I'd be glad to give details. I kind of made it up as I went, and again, I think it turned out decent :3

Thank you so much! A couple of other people have asked the same thing. Unfortunately, I do not have a formal tutorial on how I made the whole thing, but here's a brief description of how I did that I've been using to inform everyone else as well:
"Here's an extremely brief explanation haha
First I sewed a purse together. And then I taped all the cards together with clear duct tape just on the backs. Then I went out and bought a roll of clear, sticky plastic. I stuck the cards to the plastic and inserted the purse inside. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough room to stitch the plastic to the fabric, so I had to secure the outer layer of plastic/the cards to the fabric part of the purse by taping it all together with clear duct tape. Not as professional as I would've liked it to be, but it still looks good and you can barely notice it's held together by clear tape haha!
hope this gives you a pretty good idea on how I made it!"

I thought about including some of my favorites from other generations, but I told myself NO! I have to keep it to the originals, because they encompass what made Pokemon so awesome originally

That is true and if nothing else your favorites are still in good condtion so if you change your mind <3

My sewing machine, which is like thirty years old, couldn't stitch through the plastic and hold it the fabric, and I didn't plan the whole thing out very well. I kind of just made it up as I went along and got lazy at the end haha! Anyway, it has held up fantastically! I used it for about four months before switching to this new purse I got. And I'm sure I'll use it again in the future
And thanks for the kind words!

I was thinking about doing this but with card protector sheets so you can interchange the cards if you wish
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought about doing that as well! That would definitely be a way of doing it, but I thought about it and I don't think it would look as professional as I was aiming for haha 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sweet!
..Though I'd be paranoid someone would steal the cards OnO;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The cards are all taped together and stuck to the clear plastic outer layer. It would be very hard for someone to steal the cards, they'd probably just take the entire purse haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So let's hope that doesn't happen! haha!

I'd steal the cards....I'd steal them gooood
