final wallet/bracelet :)

1

Here are the sizes for the 4 fabrics

2

the interfacing {make sure you buy some lightweight / fusible interfacing}

3

this interfacing i had was to thick to I removed it at the end

4

fabric A {outside of wallet} 9 1/2" x 4 1/2"

5

Fabric B {inside of wallet} 9 1/2" x 4 1/2"

6

Fabric C {pocket 1} 9 1/2" x 6 1/2"

7

Fabric D {pocket 2} 9 1/2" x 5"

8

now cut all your fabric to those dimensions

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TUTORIAL VIDEOS {more to come}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These are my fabric choices for the ones mentioned at the beginning of the blog {you can choose to use 1 fabric for all of them if you want though}.

 

Then cut all your fabric choices to the correct sizes. {Don’t forget the interfacing has changed to 9″x4″ instead of 9 1/2″ x 4″

 

 

I sewed on my interfacing but you guys should buy the lightweight interfacing and iron it on. Also keep in mind that if you have thicker fabric that you won’t need interfacing {especially because you are layering fabrics}.

 

 

So take Fabric C + Fabric D and put them together right sides together and stitch a line on the bottom which will hold the pockets together. {all my stitches were less than 1/2″ because I wanted to make it as big as I could}

 

 

So it was right sides together at first {inside out} so now we iron it open first so it’ll be ready to flip it right sides out.

 

 

Now you fold the wrong side of the black fabric to the right side of the green and iron it like that. Then fold the pockets in half and iron them like that. {now they will be ready to sew}.

 

 

Here the first thing you should do is take your outside of the wallet fabric {Fabric A} and decorate it as much as you like { sew a ribbon on it , stitch a word, etc}. I added the stripped fabric on top of it and 2 snaps. Then you take your Fabric A facing up and then the pockets facing down {so basically right sides together} and then sew all around the wallet but leave one edge open so you can flip it inside out. Then after you flip it, iron it again, and sew the last line to close it {I used a zig zag line here since it’ll be visible}. Then fold your wallet in two and iron it which will create a crease in the middle of the wallet where you will stitch and create a division in the pockets. And lastly use any mechanism to close the wallet. You can sew two ribbons and tie it at the end or hole punch it and add snaps as I have or make a button hole and add a button or etc. :) ENJOY and let me know if you have questions!

you can fit cards / money and etc in the wallet.. its pretty spacy

final front.. decorate it as you want before you sew it

9

I used a snap but you can use buttons or tie or etc to close your wallet

12

the cool thing is that you can wear it as a bracelet! so if you are on the run and don't want to carry a purse, this is the way to go!
