MATERIALS:

What you need:

2 pieces outer cotton fabric 4 ½ x 6 inches (11.5 x 15 cm)

1 piece fusible interfacing 4 ½ x 6 inches (11.5 x 15 cm)

 

2 pieces of inner cotton fabric 4 ½ x 4 ½ inches (11.5 x 11.5 cm)

2 pieces of fusible interfacing 4 ½ x 4 ½ inches (11.5 x 11.5 cm)

 

2 pieces of fusible interfacing 2 ¼ x 4 ½ inches (5.5 x 11.5 cm)

1 piece of elastic         ¼ x 4 ½ inches (0.6 x 11.5 cm)

 

Keyring tab outer fabric 1 ½ x 2 ¾ inches (4 x 7 cm)

1 jump ring

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1:

Starting with the 2 card pockets place the fabric right side down on your ironing pad and over each piece place the fusible interfacing, sticky or knobbly side down.

STEP 2:

Fold over each piece in half with the interfacing and press on the cotton side and then the other cotton side to fuse the interfacing.

STEP 3:

Open up the fold and for extra firmness place the next two pieces 2 fusible interfacing 2 ¼ x 4 ½ inches (5.5 x 11.5 cm), sticky or knobbly side down, one on each piece, then fold over and fuse by ironing on the outer fabric.

STEP 4:

Take the outer main piece of the card wallet of 4 ½ x 6 inches (11.5 x 15 cm) and the fusible interfacing. Place the outer fabric right side down on your worktop and over it lay the interfacing, sticky or knobbly side down. Flip over and iron on the outer cotton to fuse the interfacing to the cotton fabric.

STEP 5:

To make the keyring loop fold in half, right sides outermost, on the longer side and press. Open out and place right side down, then press in each side to reach the middle.

STEP 6:

Fold again on the length and press so the two folds lie on top of each other, and clip the pressed seam together.

STEP 7:

Stitch along the folded edges to close stitching as close to the edge as possible.

If not placing a label go straight to Step 10.

To place the optional label, follow steps 8 and 9:

STEP 8:

Take the interfaced outer part, wrong side up and fold left to right to find the middle and finger press, then find the middle of the right half by measuring and making a small mark, then fold bottom to top to find the middle and make a mark at the intersection of the fold and the mark.

STEP 9:

Place the label on the right-hand side of the rectangle, with the middle over the mark and the long side of the label running from top to bottom. Pin in place after opening out the fold and top stitch around the edge and set aside.

STEP 10:

Take the outer piece of 4 ½ x 6 inches (11.5 x 15 cm) and place right side up with the longer sides parallel to the top and bottom of your worktop.

STEP 11:

Place the pockets on top of each side with the folds facing towards the middle and clip in place.

STEP 12:

Place the piece of elastic in the middle of the left-hand side pocket and clip in place, running top to bottom.

STEP 13:

Fold the keyring tab in half and place 1 ¼ inches (3 cm) in from the top right-hand side of the fabric and clip with the raw edges of the tab in line with the raw edges of the pocket and backing and the fold towards the main body of the fabric.

STEP 14:

Place the interfaced piece of outer fabric right side down over the clipped pieces, line up and clip in place.

STEP 15:

Stitch all around the edge leaving a gap in the bottom middle section of just under 2 inches (5 cm). The seam allowance will be ¼ of an inch (6mm). When stitching corners stitch up to the corner, leave the needle down in the fabric, lift the presser foot, swing the fabric 90 degrees, then depress the foot and carry on. This gives a neat 90-degree angle. Backtack at each edge of the gap.

STEP 16:

Finger press the raw edges of the gap in line with the seam. Snip off the extra triangular bits of fabric on the corners, taking care not to cut too close to the stitching. This reduces bulk when turning out the corners for a smooth finish.

STEP 17:

Pull the fabric gently through the gap. Use a turning tool to press out the corners neatly and ensure the seams are lying flat.

STEP 18:

Turn the raw edges of the gap in line with the seam and pin in place.

STEP 19:

Top stitch around the edge of the card wallet to close the gap and ensure the whole wallet lies flat. Do not stitch over the elastic – simply move it aside as you sew.

STEP 20:

Attach the jump ring, and your card wallet is ready to go. Use it, gift it or add to your items for sale if you do craft markets or sell online.

A few tips for a professional and personalised finish:

 

  1. With handling a card wallet can get grubby so it’s advisable to go for a darker print rather than a pastel print.
  2. Try to match the color of your elastic to your outer print. For example, use a black elastic for a dark print.
  3. If using a label maybe use a permanent marker to put the person’s name on the label before stitching it on.
