Preparing the Fabric:

Piece A: 11x20 cm
Piece B1 (pockets): 15.5x11 cm
Piece B2 (pockets): 21.5x11 cm
Piece C (lining): 11x14 cm
l2 pieces of your fabric, each 3.5x 17 cm if you want to make your own binding.
Note: as the edges are straight, you don’t have to cut the bindings on bias.
If the fabric is too thin, iron fusible interfacings to strengthen it. Using fabric marker, mark the lines on fabric pieces. -
Marking lines on fabrics:
-
Pockets:
Fold on all lines and iron the crease. Notice the accordion arrangement for B1 and B2. -
Topstitching pockets:
Topstitch all top of pockets about 2-3 mm from folded edges. -
Wallet closure:
Mark elastic placement on the right side of A, on the center point of the edge line.
Put elastic on the mark and place B2 on A, right sides together. Sew with 1 cm allowance. -
Note: this is also the right time to sew embellishment on the outer side of wallet if preferred.
Turn right sides out and iron. -
Assemble all pieces and make sure that all edges are aligned to each other.
Topstitch the top and bottom folded edges, catching all layers. -
Sew big button securely on the outer side of wallet, about 3 cm from the edge.
