Simple wallet sewing video tutorialwith free pattern – Sew-along Day #1By Japanese Sewing Books · On February 17, 2014
This month’s sew-along, or rather, sewing tutorial, is a simple wallet that I made for
my girl to carry to school. As she is only in primary school, she only needs to carry
some loose change, a couple of bills occasionally, as well as a single student ID
card. So this is a very simple, minimalistic wallet, which I thought will be great for
traveling as well. There is one zipped coin compartment, one ID card holder, as
well as an additional card slot (behind the coin compartment). Both card slots are

sized to fit a standard credit card size, but in actual fact there’s enough room for a
few cards in both slots.

I am using naniIRO’s Field STAR Hooray_ laminated cotton. Isn’t it lovely? I
bought it last June during my trip to the nani IRO atelier. I wasn’t looking for
laminates in particular but there it was, standing against the wall in the corner,
calling out my name ;P I have been keeping it aside to make a bag of my own, but
since it was so precious I was always afraid of sewing with it and possibly ruining it!
This is a small little project which only requires a little bit of fabric so I mustered up
the courage to cut! and I’m so glad I did.

It is really a very simple wallet and quick to sew, so there will only be two posts on
this sew-along. Today is all about the materials, and I will post the pattern, or rather,
the layout diagram, sewing video and how-to-make on Wednesday. This is so that
you can have some time to get your materials ready. Please read my notes below
with regards to the materials. Making a wallet usually requires interfacing but due to
my choices of fabric I did not have to use any. So do prepare some medium/heavy

my choices of fabric I did not have to use any. So do prepare some medium/heavy
weight interfacing to give your wallet some structure if you are using light/medium
weight fabrics.

About the materials
Outer fabric
I am using laminated cotton fabric, which is great because it can stand up to dirt
and stains. It is also quite stiff and sturdy thanks to the laminated layer. If you are
using normal cotton fabric, you can use normal fabric reinforced with medium-
heavy weight fusible interfacing. There are also iron on vinyls like those from Heat
‘n’ Bond if you have a favorite print you want to use that does not come in laminate
options.

I used an upholstery weight fabric (for cushions and curtains) for this, so I didn’t
need to add interfacing. If your fabric is light weight or medium weight it will be a
good idea to reinforce this layer with interfacing.
Plastic Sheet
The plastic sheet was actually salvaged from the plastic cover of an old diary. It is
slightly frosted which is great because I find that glossy plastic tends to be sticky
and sometimes printed cards will get stuck and leave marks on the plastic piece as
well. Look around you for something you can recycle, like an old clear plastic file or
old book covers. You can even use vinyl sheets (available in some fabric stores),
although I must say that cards tend to stick to vinyl.
Cotton Twill Tape
These tapes come in both polyester and cotton options. Both are fine, but try to get
one that is not so thick. I found mine a little too thick for my machine to handle,
especially around the folds and overlapping bits, I had to manually maneuver my
stitches over the thick areas.
Zip
In the list of materials I mentioned a 12cm zip. I chose a metal zip that was slightly
longer because the metal zip stoppers on both ends would have made it difficult for
me to sew the twill tape over. So I chose to use a slightly longer zip and cut off the
excess.

I bought this piece in Japan, maybe you can try emailing
Etsy stores selling nani IRO fabric, especially those who
ship from Japan (like Miss Matatabi), if they are able to
source it for you?

Oh, this is just too cute! I can’t wait to start! My local JoAnn doesn’t
carry any laminated fabrics as cute as yours, but I can probably find
something simple that would match the overall theme. Thanks for

Hi Michele, my zips are either bought in Japan or from
shops in Singapore, but the ball chain metal zipper is from
YKK, you might be able to find them on Etsy or eBay?
