WHAT YOU WILL NEED

1 x outer fabric – cut from template
The template below is basically a 2.5” semi circle attached to a 6”(w) x 4.5” (h) rectangle
If my photoshop/ paint drawing skills improve I will try and make an actual downloadable template but for now, try and eyeball the picture below

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

1 x lining fabric – cut from template
2 x iron on interfacing - cut from template
1 x outer fabric strip – to hold the hook on
1 x clear vinyl rectangle – for ID pocket – 2.5” (w) x 3.5” (h)

WHAT YOU WILL NEED - hardware

Small lobster swivel hook
The one I used can be found in my shop, it is 0.5” (w) x 1.25” (l)

WHAT YOU WILL NEED - hardware

Metal snap prong button
The one I used can be found in my shop, it is 11mm diameter

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO

Grab the interfacing pieces. You will need to trim 1cm (~0.4”) off around the outside of the interfacing so that when you iron the interfacing onto the outer fabric you will be able to see the fabric.

Iron the interfacing on with the shiny face sticking to the wrong side of your outer fabric.

Iron the interfacing on with the shiny face sticking to the wrong side of your outer fabric.

Grab the outer fabric strip for the hook (I really have no idea what to call this), and fold in half and iron.
Unfold and fold the edges into the centre seam you have just ironed.

Now fold in half again.
You should have a strip of fabric 1/4 the size of what you started with.
Before you sew both sides of the strip, thread it through the base of your hook to make sure it fits. If not you will need to unfold, trim and start again.
Now sew up both sides of the fabric strip.

Put the hook and fabric aside and grab your outer + lining fabric pieces.
Place your outer and lining fabric pieces together, wrong sides together - so that the good sides face out as they would well the wallet is complete.

Fold the rectangle end of the wallet up 3", and fold the flap down 2.5". Basically you need to fold along the pink and green lines drawn on the template paper.
Iron along the fold lines.

By ironing along the folds you have now divided the wallet into thirds.
Grab the clear vinyl ID pocket and attach it (with clips, as pins tend to permanently mark the vinyl) to the middle third of the outer fabric.
Make sure to really go back and forth over the start and finishing of your stitching, to really attach the vinyl to the outer fabric, otherwise it comes a bit loose.
If you have a newer machine choose your triple stitch function - it's rather pretty and super secure.

Now in the picture, find the halfway point and mentally mark it.
You need to place the fabric strip and hook in the middle of this image.
I found a rather blurry picture of this, but will probably help your imagination more than my lack luster descriptive skills.

Now place the outer fabric piece and the lining piece, good sides facing each other - sandwiching the hook in-between.

With both pieces sandwiched together pin, pin, pin around the outside.
Sew around your pins.
When I sew a piece good sides together, and need to turn it through a slip hole, I find the easiest way to do so is to sew the whole thing shut and then unpick where I want the hole to be so that there is a line to follow when topstitching.

Once sewn and a some stitches have been unpicked, pull the wallet through the lining so the good sides are facing out.

Iron the wallet nice and flat and push the edges of the hole back into the lining.
Be careful when ironing not to iron over the vinyl pocket on a high iron setting, even when ironing through the lining. Either turn down the iron setting or use a cloth to protect the vinyl.
Topstitch over the hole to close it.
Fold the bottom 3" of the wallet up to form a pouch and press.
It will be a bit of a struggle to pin all the layers together so grab whatever is handy to hold the pieces together, clothes pegs would work in a pinch.
Topstitch around the whole thing.

Now to attach the metal snap button. Given the length of the tutorial and my tendency to prefer pictures over words I have included it in a seperate tutorial which can be found here.
Just for reference the coloured metal cap (top prong) and stud should be placed on the flap of the wallet, and the bottom prong and socket on the base of the wallet.

Give the wallet a quick press and be careful not to iron over the vinyl as it will melt. If you need to stuff a spare cloth or some fabric inside the pouch to created a barrier between the front of the wallet and vinyl.
