Gallivanter Passport Wallet

[@raby_jess]

I really like this passport because if i don’t wanna carry an extra passport then I can use that extra space!

[@suelindsay5723]

Just made my first ‘flimsy fabric’ card slots and I’m amazed at how easy and how clever it is. Thank you so much!

[@SewGnar]

You are so welcome!

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Thanks for another great tutorial, going to make it next week, when I return from my holiday in Spain xx

[@elonanamor6420]

Thank you for sharing. I love your patterns. Your spirit shines through each and every one of them and each video you do. It is very unique and you always.

[@SewGnar]

Thank you Elona ❤️❤️❤️

[@cindihager3409]

So happy you came out with this pattern!

[@Kera.S.]

AWESOME PATTERN! Now I just need a passport to put in it 😁👍

[@amycook6468]

Genius design!! The landscaping fabric for card slots is amazing. I look fwd to trying that out.

[@SewGnar]

Thank you!

[@ljdesignscustomshowclothin6832]

Where do you get this fabric? Landscaping? Thanks!

[@bettymarini8581]

Another great pattern and tutorial, thanks Nicole 👍🏼

[@Christy_D]

Thank you for this pattern! The dual passport is super useful and i bought the pattern so now can’t wait to make it!

[@elizabethmika5090]

Wow awesome, great teaching style.

[@DrofJustice]

Great pattern. I made one in cork and a second one in Kraft-tex. It was my first time using the Kraft-tex and I LOVE it!!! Nice, firm feel to it and sits thinner when empty. I used prewashed and will definitely be looking for other applications.

[@SewGnar]

Great job!

Awesome, thanks for being here!

[@alysonsneyd3401]

❤️ this pattern. Can’t wait to make it!

[@terribushnell1145]

Thank you for such a great pattern! I have done 3 so far, and the first one well was a learning experience - note to self do not use WPC for the card slot liner! I had no ribbon or landscape fabric so 809 Decorbond works great! Made 2 more and I am off to make some more after than for a craft show next week! Happy Sewing!!

[@SewGnar]

809 - what a great idea!

[@ryandty2]

Dang...so wish I could top stitch like you!!! You make it look easy & effortless....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😊 Enjoyed your tutorial!

[@SewGnar]

I topstitch all day everyday, I better be good at it by now!

[@lynnhidley4788]

Fabulous!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you

[@fredandcj8681]

Thank you, Nicole. Another great pattern and video. I do appreciate your camera angles. Can actually see project placement under the machine foot much better. Feels like the camera is between you and the sewing machine which much be awkward for you!

[@SewGnar]

That’s exactly where it was and it made it so hard to sew 😂 thanks for letting me know tho, I’ll see what I can get figured out.

[@divadoll55]

You make it look so easy until I try to make it. I just printed and cut out the pattern. Now I just need to order the card slot material. Looking forward to making this for a friend.

[@SewGnar]

Lots of practice!!

[@shelleys4]

Great tutorial. I’m going to purchase this pattern and attempt to make this wallet. You make it look so easy. 😊

[@SewGnar]

It’s not hard!!

[@bearscritter]

NICE!!💜💜 LOL I wondered what happened to the rest of the wallet video!!

[@SewGnar]

Haha yeah, oopsie!

[@sutela2060]

Awesome 😊

[@SewGnar]

Thanks 🤗

[@Jan-do4kn]

Great video. I am waiting for my fabric, but I'm not sure what landscape fabric is. Can you explain and tell me where to purchase. Thanks

[@SewGnar]

It’s weed barrier fabric that you use outdoors. Available at any hardware store!

[@corneliareid7872]

Just finished watching the video and it was extremely easy to follow. I do have a question, for the card slots, your pattern references " Ribbon or Landscape fabric" . When I search for landscape fabric, I do no see anything that looks like what you are using. By chance does the fabric you are using go by another name? Thank you.

[@SewGnar]

It’s weed barrier fabric from a garden store! Or you can use Cambric from a hobby shop.

[@corneliareid7872]

@ Thank you for your prompt response.

[@vennessabusch2752]

So is it just me or did you skip a step after you glued the snap tab to exterior them put the panel on? It look like on the darker piece there is a line that went down almost the middle I’m assuming for the count pouch now you’re top stitching? So confused and I’m not good with written instructions. Timeline 9:46 is what I’m talking about.

[@SewGnar]

You topstitch the top edge and the coin pouch at the same time, but it does look like the segment of me drawing the coin pouch measurement line was skipped. There is a measurement in the pattern, draw that line and stitch it and continue on.

[@jeneanebrian]

Thank you so much for this tut! I am practicing my first one. Love it for gifts. I have 4 adult male sons, can never figure out what to give them! Trying to also figure out a juvenile version for my grandsons, any ideas?

[@SewGnar]

Juvenile version of a handmade gift? Maybe a slim wallet?

[@marielitapineda2835]

Can you fit plane tickets or boarding passes in the big slip pocket

[@SewGnar]

Yep!

[@marielitapineda2835]

Cool 😎 thank you 😊

[@Ione1916]

The tape just stays in place as you top stitch, right? I've never sewn with cork but I think I will tackle this sucker 🤣

[@SewGnar]

Yes the tape stays still!

[@lizaddison-duenas4351]

Really like this. Could use this and this would make great gifts. I would like to ask if you could slow down just a little. I couldn't really see what you were doing in a couple of places because it was speedy. I am sure the pattern tells but I am a visual learner. Thank you for the pattern and tutorial.

[@SewGnar]

I didn’t speed up any of the video, which parts were too quick for you?

[@lizaddison-duenas4351]

@@SewGnar just when you were talking about the top and side not being even and it was supposed to be that way. Also something else but can't remember. Will just watch it a few times. You are just very experienced and go fast when you are talking and showing. I am older.

[@woodiedorsey6089]

You can slow down the video on whatever you are watching it on. It's probably on normal, just slow the speed to something comfortable for you. I've done that with other videos. Good luck!😊

[@karenmarkar1820]

I have vinyl embossed leather for exterior and a pretty cork for interior. My question is the lining is it a vinyl plain vinyl?

[@SewGnar]

My interior is cork.. is that what you’re asking?

[@karenmarkar1820]

@@SewGnar yes I did not know what to use for interior I don’t have any solid cork so should I use a piece of canvas or vinyl

[@SewGnar]

@@karenmarkar1820 you can use any self healing edge textile like cork, vinyl, leather, TPU, etc

[@karenmarkar1820]

My question is,that 16” piece that you use for card slots what is it called so I can order it. Thank you Just got the pattern excited to try it

[@SewGnar]

Landscaping fabric! You can get it at a garden supply shop!

[@karenmarkar1820]

Thank you

[@karenburnett6930]

Nicole what type of pencil do you use to trace out the window box and make markings?

Totally!

what is the fabric called that you use for your card slots, it looks like some kind of ribbon.thank you

[@SewGnar]

It’s landscape/weed barrier fabric from a gardening store!

[@cheriramie5863]

Can’t wait to make this one! Quick question, have you gotten any feedback about the magnetic snaps and credit cards? Personally I have made a wallet for myself and haven’t had any issues but have had people mention I could erase my cards. I feel like it would have to be a much stronger magnet, but wondering if you had received any comments on it. Thank you as always for your awesome tutorials!

[@SewGnar]

Hi Cheri, I haven’t had any issues myself or heard anything from customers so I think we’re in the clear. Like you said, I think it has to be a much stronger magnet!

I do have a question. It may be a stupid question but I need to know. What tension do you use on cork and vinyl? I got a Juki TL 18, I know how to adjust the tension, but never really played with tension before my juki.

[@SewGnar]

My tension is about midway on the knob on front of my machine, I very very rarely mess with it.

[@raby_jess]

@@SewGnarthank you! This helps more than you know!

Thanks for this, got everything ready to go except "landscaping material" . Looking online it comes up for gardening, heavy stuff. Yours look gauzy, light and see through. Where might I get that? I am in Canada but of course could order online. Any other words I could use to search online? Thanks.

Nope!

[@traceyrybka5194]

Hey Nicole, do you think I could use cotton fabric for the card pockets?

[@SewGnar]

You could but it gets a bit bulky.

[@traceyrybka5194]

Trying not to buy too much stuff…lol

[@lynnhidley4788]

I have a question. Can the card slot method used in this pattern work with the bifold wallet to make it slimmer?

[@SewGnar]

Sure! Except the card slot itself is bigger so you’ll have to downsize it accordingly
