Recommendations for creating a fabric wallet

For those who decide to create a product with their own hands, you should carefully consider the choice of fabric. Here you should not use old and damaged fabrics, it is better to choose suitable options in the store. There are also special collections, they are sold specifically for patchwork and already have a special combination.

You can also purchase very expensive and luxurious materials for your wallet, as small pieces of material (leftovers) always have a huge discount. And it is worth worrying about decoration in advance, it can be an emblem or an attractive brooch. Perhaps someone has his own talent for beading or beads. Embroidery is useful in decoration.

And the last thing you should pay attention to is the fittings. A new fastener will require a fastener, a small carabiner will be appropriate for a convenient handle. If pockets are outlined, then lightning is irreplaceable.

Important! Before going to the store, a plan should be outlined, otherwise you can buy completely incompatible things that will simply gather dust and wait for their turn. Be sure to decide on the model and size.

What you need for a fabric wallet

The entire selection begins with the fabric itself. You need to choose the most important thing - this is the fabric for the front side. But this may not be one fabric. It can be a combination of several materials, which is quite fashionable. For example, creating a geometric pattern. The patchwork technique for sewing looks very beautiful, but is more suitable for models with floral prints. As for what kind of texture this fabric will be, it is better to pay attention to the denser ones - this is thick cotton, linen. Coat fabric and something else plump and unusual look very nice.

Further, the material for the lining. It can be variations with a print, plain fabric, but it should be thin. Silk looks good and something so bright and shiny.

Some do-it-yourself wallet models have a convex shape and for them just can not do without syntepon. This white lining is laid between the wrong side and the front. For other models, it is worth paying attention to special dense fabrics to give shape to the product.

Accessories for the wallet can be purchased at the accessories store for handbags. This is a clasp for the side of the wallet. A small handle on the side of the wallet needs a fastener, for example, a carbine. Velcro, buttons or zippers may be required for pocket pockets.

No less important is the decoration in the bag and it should also be purchased in advance, as long as it is possible to attach to the matter, and evaluate how well they harmonize.

How to sew a fabric wallet with your own hands

A wonderful and rather unusual wallet. This is what every master wants to do, creating new models. Since this is exactly what the role of the wallet with your own hands consists in - making a beautiful and unusual product that will be unique, and will not merge with the products from the counter.

The work will require:

  • for the front side with print butterflies;
  • for the front side "technical";
  • button (on magnet) for fastener;
  • emblem;
  • carbine.

Work Stages:

  1. Pattern. For a pattern, you need to draw a long rectangle first. The width of the rectangle is 30 cm and the length is 53. It is more convenient to cut two such rectangles out of denser matter - this is the “technical” model. Next, cut the rectangles from the print option, as shown in the figure with the patterns. For pockets inside the wallet, cut out two small rectangles with sides 30 * 20 from dense matter.
  2. Sewing Fold the two large rectangles with the wrong sides to each other and sew them together (after folding the edges of each rectangle inward). Sew along the edge of the fabric completely.
  3. Pockets For pockets you will need two cut rectangles with sides 30 * 20. They need to be bent and stitched on the short sides, also having previously bent the sides. Next, sew them by attaching to the fold line of the wallet, that is, to its bottom. Sew also on the sides and make a seam exactly in the middle of each pocket. You get small compartments for credit cards and discount coupons.
  4. Side seams. Minimize wallet and flush sides.
  5. Clasp. A magnet clasp is used for this model. Very comfortable in work and in business.
  6. Decoration. A small emblem was used for decoration, sew it in the lower left corner of the wallet. For a carabiner, make small strips of dense fabric, sew one to the wallet, and simply pass the other onto the carabiner after stitching. This is a very convenient device for a wallet.

This wallet is ready with your own hands and you can put the first money there. If it is a gift, then it is also worth putting a symbolic amount in order for the one who receives it to receive a monetary fortune.
