Yay I finished it! This is the tutorial for the mini wallet in this post. For the tutorial, I made a pair of mini wallets in Japanese cotton with colorful houses pattern on it. I really enjoyed making them and the tutorial.
The tutorial for the bigger wallets is still in progress, and it will be posted soon when it’s ready!
As it would be too long as a blog post, the tutorial is made it into a pdf file that can be downloaded here. Please contact me if you have any difficulty downloading it. This is also my first time making a pdf tutorial, so do tell me if anything is not clear.

Oh I’m so sorry! I just looked at it again and realized what I though were sixes were actually fours. Thank you for your help and sharing of your wonderful skills.
Thanks for the tutorial! I am confused about the B1 and B2 pieces though. B2′s whole measure is 21.5 but the parts add up to 23.5. B1′s whole measure is 15.5 but the parts add up to 17.5. Which are correct?
Hi Briana! Are you sure the add up to 23.5? I just checked it again and it is still 21.5. Maybe I don’t understand which parts that you mean?

Hi , I´ve cut all my pieces, but I can´t find the description HOW to make it. Or do you have to be very clever and figure it out your self. I tried but without success….
I really what to try and make this wallet.
Thank you!
Hi, I don’t know what you’re talking about being very clever.
It seems that you only got the first page of the file. The PDF file is 3 pages, step by step instructions with diagrams and pictures are in page 2 and 3.
Thank you very much for so generously sharing!
Than you so much for this tutorial. I made my own version of this mini wallet. So simples and easy.
Thanks a million.

Thank you.
Hi Omelay, thank you very much for pointing this out! Please refer to the diagram for the right measurement.
I made a mistake there, I'm so sorry! m(_ _)m
Hi! I am making these right now for the first time. Am I missing something, or does the initial Prep tell me piece B1 is 20 x 11 cm and the illustration describe it as 15.5 x 11 cm?
this is really fun and functional. great design.
