The outer front of the wallet.
Consists of parts:
1. Front part. Size 21x30 cm.

5. Seal for bags on an adhesive basis. Three parts - 21x9 cm, 21x9 cm, 21x7 cm.
6. Magnetic clasp. Can be replaced with a button.
Assembling the pie.
We seal the front part with non-woven fabric. We iron the bag seal onto the inside.
Let's make our sandwich. Secure with a longitudinal stitch. We sew along the seal at a distance of 2-3 mm from the edge.
Install the magnetic clasp.
1. External valve. We bend the front part and the gasket. Install the fastener on the seal.
2. Internal valve. We bend the seal. We fix the fastener to the gasket and the front part.
Quilting the sandwich.
This is what you should get:
We round the corners and trim them.
The outer part of the wallet is ready.
The inside of the wallet.
Consists of parts:
1. A rectangle pre-glued with non-woven material. Size 19x18 cm. For the outer part of the coin pocket. 1 piece
2. A rectangle pre-glued with non-woven material. Size 19x17.5 cm. For the inside of the coin pocket. 1 piece
3. Rectangles for decorating the ends of the zipper. Size 3x4 cm, 2 pcs.
4. Zipper with stroke limitation up to 16 cm.
Pattern of the membrane. Fits into a rectangle 10 (height) x 15 (length) cm.
Let's design our zipper. We cut off the excess. The length of the workpiece should be 19 cm.
Fold the rectangles and the zipper along the long side. Apply the larger rectangle to the front of the zipper, and the smaller one to the back of the zipper. Sew it together.
We sew the second side in the same way. It should look like a figure eight.
We turn our pocket inside out in a motion that pulls the larger rectangle onto the smaller one. Ironing.
Secure our design with a seam on the sides to make it easier to work with in the future.
The pocket should fit comfortably into the wallet with plenty of width and height.
We prepare the membranes. We fold the blanks facing each other, stitching at the top and bottom. Turn it inside out, iron it, and secure it with a stitch.
Next, we make serif folds on the membrane (the fold location is indicated in the pattern). We bend the membrane around the edge of the pocket so that the corners of the folds lie at the same level. We sew at a distance of about a centimeter from the edge.
I sewed the first such wallet in a soft pink checkered pattern as a gift for a girl. Then I repeated it to myself in denim version, with [cuttersk. And a new wallet due to numerous requests from my needlework friends
I sewed it specifically to show the whole process of its making.
The finished (unfolded) size of the wallet is 5 x 8.5 inches (approximately 12.5 x 21 cm). This size is taken into account so that you can put paper bills, change and all kinds of cards in it, which are becoming increasingly popular.Irina Moore
All dimensions are given in inches.
For reference: 1 inch = 2.5 cm.
1. We cut out taking into account seam allowances from denim:*2 pieces A 5.5 x 9.0 inches. the base of the wallet, its cover;
* 1 piece B 5.0 x 9.0 inches. compartment for paper bills;
*1 piece H 5.0 x 3.0 inches. pocket for coins;
* 1 piece D 5.0 x 3.5 inches. pocket for cards;
* 1 piece L 5.0 x 2.5 inches. pocket for cards.I provided 4 pockets for cards. But, due to the fact that denim fabric is quite dense, I made two of them from ordinary cotton fabric to reduce the thickness of the wallet and avoid difficulties during assembly. Thus, we cut out two more pockets for cards from cotton fabric:
*1 piece E 5.0 x 8.0 inches.
*1 piece W 5.0 x 6.0 inches.2. We start working with the cover.
To strengthen it, I used 808 Craft Fuse from PELLON. This material is good because it is thin, like paper, but holds its shape very well without losing its elasticity.
If it is not there, then both parts need to be reinforced with dense adhesive one-sided interlining or rigid dublinin.
We strengthen one of the parts A (the top one) and decorate it at our discretion.
Stepping back 1.25 - 1.5 inches from the short edge, install a magnetic fastener on this part in the middle.
Let's put these blanks aside for now.
3. We apply tape to all the denim parts of the pockets and one side of the zipper.When sewing a zipper, start sewing the binding above the zipper stopper, approximately the width of the trim. Then this reserve will be hidden under the trim-edging, which you will sew on the other side.
4. Fold both parts of the pockets made of cotton fabric (parts E and G) in half, line them inside with a “web” of the appropriate size, and iron them.
Stepping back from the fold, we lay one or two parallel decorative lines. This double pocket is more convenient to use when taking out a card.
5. Now we attach the edged part of the coin pocket (part B) to the second side of the zipper so that the allowances from the top stop on both sides are the same.
6. Place the edged side of the zipper tape on top of the short side of part B and stitch it along the edge of the trim.We secure the zipper along the top with a cross stitch as close to the edge as possible, so that later this stitch does not peek out from under the edging.
On part B we outline the line of the center of the finished wallet, mentally dividing the resulting workpiece in half vertically.
7. On the resulting blank we place the edged blanks for the pockets (from left to right, parts E, D, G, E, from largest to smallest), as shown in the photo.
We align the sizes of all folded parts.
8. We edge the top edge of the blank with tape to create a compartment for paper bills.
9. For the cover, we prepared two parts: A outer one (with a clasp) and an inner one.
Fold them back to back and line them up to the size of the finished wallet (5 x 8.5 inches).
External detail with clasp at the bottom!
On the inner part, mark the middle line.
10. Place the prepared pocket blank for paper bills on top, aligning the middle line and the lower edges of the parts.
We fasten everything with pins.
11. We connect all the parts of the wallet with a stitch along the edge so that they do not move relative to each other.
The corners need to be rounded. To ensure that they are the same, it is convenient to do this using some kind of template.
12. Well, the wallet itself is almost ready. It’s time to start fastening it.
Cut out 2 pieces of denim, 4.0 x 1.5 inches.On one side, we round the corners on both blanks (as in the photo).
Pay attention! The length of the fastener strap may vary depending on the width of the edging and the thickness of the resulting product. Therefore, check its length according to your option.
13. The fastener valve parts should be reinforced with non-woven fabric.
Place the second part of the magnetic lock on one piece.
Fold the parts together with the wrong sides and connect them (sew them) with a tight seam [zig-zag along the edge, as if overcasting.
I did it decorative threads, the same as the front cover was decorated with.
14. Sew the fastener flap as shown in the photo.
Just a little time left - and we are there!
15. And the final chord: the edging of the almost finished product.
We cut out a strip of fabric on the bias and fold it in half lengthwise.
We smooth it, first tucking the bias cut to the inside by 0.5 inches.
We start working from the fold point of the wallet. The binding joint here will be least noticeable.
We go around the entire perimeter of the wallet with tape.
16. To close the edging, we adjust the end of the binding to its beginning to the short side of the cross section, going beyond it by about 0.5 inches (see photo!).Now you can cut off the excess trim.
17. Fold the binding onto the inside of the product and sew it on inner edge by hand with hidden stitches.
The joint of the binding can also be secured with several hidden stitches, or you don’t have to do this. (I don’t do this, the binding is tight and can’t turn out).
18. Now iron the seams, check that the clasp holds securely and the wallet is ready!
If you are sewing it as a gift for someone (or even as a gift for yourself, your loved one!), do not forget to put a small coin in it! They say it’s customary to give wallets as gifts so that they always contain money!Good luck to you!
Let your new wallet always contain you-know-what!

In order to learn how to make a wallet with your own hands, you need to decide what material the master’s soul lies in working with. Beginners in sewing needlework should not be intimidated by the large number of templates and patterns presented for public viewing by other craftsmen. You can start creating things with your own hands with the simplest and most proven ideas.
Postcard wallet
If a celebration is approaching, but a gift has not been chosen, you can please the recipient with a cash gift, carefully placed in a wallet of your own making.
For a wallet made of cardboard or paper, you will need an A4 sheet of the first or second material. We fold this sheet in half on one side and the other.
The corners need to be bent into isosceles triangles towards the center of the sheet.
We fold the corners of the resulting part to the edge of the previous ones.
Fold the top and bottom edges towards the middle.
Turning the part over to the other side, fold the side edges towards the middle.
Turning the part over again, fold it in half away from you. An oblong hole should form at the fold.
Inside the hole you can feel one of the triangles, which should be carefully pulled out, which will turn it into a wallet lid. You will get a paper wallet, as in the photo:
Fabric model
To create a simple wallet for everyday use, you can use any fabric. Taking into account your preferences, in the next master class you can sew not only fabric, but also denim wallets.
To create the product you will need:
- two types of fabric for front and internal parts;
- small fabric for working moments (hereinafter referred to as TRB);
- padding polyester;
- bias tape;
- zipper;
- button.
Before use, the fabric should be ironed well to ensure a smooth surface. From two types of fabric and padding polyester, we make patterns measuring 21x16 cm, which we fold in three layers, placing the padding polyester in the middle. We sew the resulting layers together, making seams throughout the entire fabric in the form of a grid. After work, cut the part to a size of 20x15 cm.
- four 11x5.5 cm;
- one - 11x4 cm;
- one - 11x8.5 cm;
- one - 11x3 cm;
- one - 13x20 cm;
- one - 14x4.5 cm;
- one of the TRBs is 11x20 cm.
The four parts indicated in paragraph 1 should be folded and stitched on one of the long sides. These parts need to be sewn onto the TRB. First, the part from step 4 is sewn to the TRB.
Then we sew each part from step 1 in a U-shape to the TRB, indented from the previous edge by one and a half centimeters. This is how we create compartments for business cards.
We sew the parts from steps 3 and 4 to the zipper, first the large one, then the small one. In this case, they will be stitched in the same position as shown in the following photo:
On the wrong side of the resulting part, measure 10 cm and trim off the excess, leaving the lock intact.
The resulting part needs to be sewn to the TRB with a seam along the perimeter, and, having reached the lock, it should be opened almost to the end and sewn further along the edge of the part.
With bias tape you need to cover the seams in the middle of the part along the lock and one of the long sides of the part. During this work, the excess ends of the lock are cut off. It turns out this detail:
We process the part from step 5 with bias tape. We sew the resulting parts together, after which we begin to work with the part from step 6 - the valve. This part needs to be stitched on three sides.
After this, the valve is attached to the middle of the front side of the main part.
We process the edges of the part with bias tape.
You need to punch a loop on the valve, after which a button is sewn to the wallet along the projection of the loop. This is the end of the job.
The same wallet can be sewn from jeans, but without using padding polyester.
Due to the density of denim, it is better to use regular fabric for the inner parts, otherwise the wallet will be too thick at the seams and uncomfortable.
You can learn more about creating wallets from denim or old jeans in the videos below.
Knitted option
To create such a wallet, you need to arm yourself with knitting needles, crochet and yarn. We cast on 18 loops, after which we begin to knit everything next rows in a facial way. Upon reaching 20 cm in height, on both sides of the canvas you need to start removing loops in every second row: 2 and 3 so that the wallet has rounded tops. When the size of the fabric for the wallet is sufficiently knitted, you need to close all the loops, fold the fabric into the wallet and knit the edges with single crochets. The lid should be tied from left to right in a circular single crochet. Sew a button onto the lid of the wallet.
