Part of a wallet

A card slot pocket is a vital part of a wallet.
It might seem a bit tricky to make when looking at a constructed wallet but not so much, with a bit of practice and a good tutorial you can make your own.

It is good to do your research before attempting to make a wallet. Less you frustrate yourself and lose interest in bag making.

The above diagram shows the measurement for each fold.
Make things easier for yourself by making a template out of paper or card stock.

 Make your own lip balm holder

 This way all you have to do is to place the fabric between the folds and press with an iron.
Followed by topstitching the edges of each fold at about 1/4" seam allowance.

 Draw a line down the middle of the pocket and sew on that line.
Then baste stitch down the two sides close to the edges to secure the pockets.

 Look at the video tutorial below, for a better understanding.

There are free patterns on her website, you should try them before purchasing the NCW pattern.
