Here’s the tutorial for these wallets!
The tutorial includes two variation of the closure, one with tab and velcro and the other with fabric loop and button.
For the tutorial, I made a pair of wallets from pink Japanese cotton fabrics, one in polkadot and the other one in floral pattern. The beige linings are Indian cotton fabrics. I hope the colours of the fabrics are not too muted in the pictures.
The tutorial can be downloaded here, it’s a 7 pages of PDF file. Please contact me if you have any difficulty downloading it, or if anything is not clear.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial and make your own version. Instead of velcro or fabric loop, you can also use snap-on button, magnetic closure, or plain elastics without the fabric loop.

hi there, tq so much for your tutorial.i would like to make is as my personal wallet and maybe sell if anyone interested.thank you for sharing this beautiful wallet. i love it so much.thank you so much!
Thank you for the tutorial! Would it be possible to chane the milimeters into inches for those of us that don’t use mm? I sure would appreciate a translation! Love the pattern though and will try to make one w/o sizes!
Glad that you like it!
Unfortunately I’m only familiar with metric system. I’ve tried making a tutorial with inches but that was just too confusing for me, so I gave up. The best I can do is just suggesting to use online converter to change them. That is the way I usually do when facing pattern/tutorial that use inches. I’m sorry….
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made this over the weekend and I was very happy with the results. I modified it slightly as I wanted to fit two passports inside and use it as a travel wallet.
I love the pattern but only 4 pages come up for the pdf download. It seems to be missing most of the instructions. Help!
Hi Alexis!
You have to click the download button at the top of the window –> Download (1.5 mb) to get the whole file that you can print. The 4 pages is just for preview. Hope that helps!
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! Thank you SOOOoooo much!! God Bless You!
P.S. Purple is my favorite color, as well!
