Materials
1 outer fabric rectangle = 22 cm (w) x 20cm (h)
5 patchwork scraps for outer fabric – total = 5cm (w) x 20cm (h)
1 inner fabric rectangle = 22 cm (w) x 20cm (h)
2 interfacing rectangles = 2 x 22 cm (w) x 20cm (h)

2 Foldable card storage = 2 x 20cm (w) x 51.5cm (h)
8 interfacing rectangles for foldable card storage = 8 x 20cm (w) x 6cm (h)
1 zip pocket fabric = 20cm (w) x 11cm (h)
1 zip pocket interfacing = 20cm (w) x 10cm (h)
1 zipper = 7 inch/ 17 cm
1 magnetic snap

Outer cover

Cut 5 – 6 scraps of co-ordinating fabric to form a 5cm (w) x 20cm (h) strip

Outer cover

Sew the edges of the fabric together to form the strip.

OUTER FABRIC RECTANGLE

Refer to the diagram.
Iron the fabric in half.

Cut out a 1 cm strip out of the rectangle; 3.5cm from the right edge.

OUTER FABRIC RECTANGLE

Now, fold and iron a 1cm ‘seam allowance’ from the cut edges of the outer fabric rectangle. (refer to pic)

PATCHWORK

Pin the patchwork fabric to ironed edges of the outer rectangle fabric (refer to diagram) and TOPSTITCH both sides.

The patchwork strip should now measure 3cm.

Now iron on one rectangle of interfacing to the wrong side of the outer cover fabric.

INNER FABRIC

Iron a rectangle of interfacing to the wrong side of the inner fabric.

FOLDABLE CARD SLOT FABRIC

Cut out the 2 foldable card slot rectangles.

FOLDABLE CARD SLOT FABRIC

Refer to diagram. Fold and iron along the lines to create ‘pockets’ for your cards. It has been bought to my attention that I have posted an incorrect picture for the credit card slots folding! VERY VERY SORRY. This was my first tutorial and I haven't need to make a wallet since so have not double checked - but will add it to my to do list. The new measurements are 9cm-6cm-5cm-6cm-5cm-6cm-5cm-9cm = 51cm total not 51.5cm.

FOLDABLE CARD SLOT FABRIC

Once folded it should look like the diagram.

for a simpler version of this step have a look at my blog.

INTERFACING

Grab the interfacing for the card slot fabric.

Slip one piece in between the different card slots (refer to diagram).

INTERFACING

Once all the interfacing is ironed on it should look like this at the back.

FOLDABLE CARD SLOT FABRIC

Now flip the card slot fabrics so they resemble card slots and topstitch across the top of each slot.

FOLDABLE CARD SLOT FABRIC

It should look like this when topstitched

MAGNETIC SNAPS

Attach magnetic snaps on each side of
the card slot fabric.

Now sew a straight line down the middle of the card slot fabric and down both of the edges (as close to the raw edge as possible as this is just to hold everything in place).

Repeat for the other car slot fabric.

ZIPPER POCKET

Grab the zipper pocket fabric. Iron down a 1cm ‘seam line’ from the top edge (long edge).

Flip fabric so the wrong side is facing up. Iron on interfacing (over the folded over ‘hemline’)

ZIPPER POCKET

Grab the zipper and pin one edge to zipper pocket fabric and the other side of the zipper to one of the card slots fabric.

ZIPPER POCKET

Now sew along both sides.
Keep zipper closed and iron most of the way up – leaving about 3cm from the end.

ZIPPER POCKET

Lift up the sewing machine foot and unzip the zip and then continue sewing. (if you were to continue sewing with the zipper closed the foot would get in the way!)

ZIPPER POCKET

Now repeat for the other side.

PIN IT ALL TOGETHER

Place the two card slot on top of the inner fabric rectangle. Baste around the card slots onto the inner fabric along 3 sides – as close to the raw edge as possible. This now forms part A.

PIN IT ALL TOGETHER

Grab part A and the outer wallet cover, place the good sides together. Again baste the same 3 sides as before. Making sure to sew inside the previous basting line (so it does not show up when the wallet is turned out.

PIN IT ALL TOGETHER

Turn the wallet out and make sure to push out the corners properly.

PIN IT ALL TOGETHER

Now grab the free edge and fold them in on themselves. Topstitch the free edge as shown in picture.

AND YOUR DONE! =D
