This little gem will hold all kinds of important information - from driver's license to a Starbucks gift card! Even if you're 'on-the-go' you can make this perfect little wallet in no time.
Here is what you'll need:
7" x 14" piece of fabric for the front
7" x 14" piece of fabric for the lining
7" x 14" piece of Fusible Fleece
1" piece of Velcro
Pen, ruler and 7" x 14" piece of paper for pattern
Here's how to make it:
Create the pattern as shown in the diagram below.
Press the Fusible Fleece to the wrong side of the front fabric. Let cool.
Quilt as desired. (front only)
Place the front fabric and the lining fabric right sides together and pin.
Cut all layers around the pattern.
Stitch a generous 1/8" around the outside of the wallet leaving a 3" space on the bottom of the wallet. Clip the corners.
Turn wallet right side out, pushing out corners to a point. Pin and press flat.
Top stitch a generous 1/8" around the outside edge of the wallet. You can machine stitch the opening closed when doing the top stitching or you can hand sew it closed prior to top stitching.
Center the Velcro Loop side on the front of the angled side from side to side. it should be 1/2" from the bottom. Stitch the velcro in place.
Center the Velcro Hook side on the lining side of the flap. It should be 1/4" from the top edge of the flap. Make sure it is centered side to side and will cover the Velcro Loop side on the angled fold. Stitch in place.
Fold the wallet correctly and stitch a generous 1/8" around the sides and the bottom of the wallet. ALL DONE!
This is a great way to wrap up a gift card for birthdays - or any occasion. You can use them to hold just a few cards if you don't want to carry a purse or a large wallet!
Quilt with joy!
