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.

Thanks for the great tutorial! I’m pinning it on Pinterest.
Thank you so much for the tutorial!!! I was searching online for a wallet pattern and just didn’t like any of them (most didn’t include a zipper section for change) or were just too small. Your directions were very clear and easy to follow. The only problem I had was converting the cm to inches! This was very challenging. I used online converter but it would only convert to tenths of an inch and I wasn’t sure how to translate that into 1/8th of an inch??? So I just guestimated! I had a bit of difficulty with the binding as well (I had never used this to finish an edge…but will from now on!) but just read the post below where you suggest sewing one side then useing fusable tape to hold the other side to topstich. Will use this method next time. Thanks so much. I hope one day to have your skill level!
