How to sew a simple wallet by Debbie Shore

[@patriciacrowther3771]

Debbie... you are so good in your tutorials. Many thanks. Been watching for years but always learning. Big bravo to you.

[@rosiejaxon]

Brilliant Debbie.

[@michellehale8962]

I have made my first one. I added a tab and lobster claw for keys or perhaps a strap, and I lined it with RFID fabric for credit card theft protection. It is a very light layer and makes no difference in bulk or thickness of the wallet. Thank you for your clear instructions.

[@michelleguadarrama8949]

Love this pattern. I made it with Harris wool and it was a real challenge due to the thickness but I managed. Will do these again! Thank you Debbie!

[@onnalexseeias]

Thank you very beautiful great description on how to make😊😊😊

[@rosiejaxon]

Great design and great tutorial

[@Amal2365]

Beautiful wallet, thank you so much for sharing

[@christineavey1398]

You and your big scissors Debbie! I don't know how you do it. My stuff would be cut in half using those for snipping. Love it 🥰

[@lynetterene]

Oh wow....I just noticed the big scissors.....it would definitely be a disaster for me...lol

[@julieandme9628]

Thank you Debbie for this amazing Project!❤

[@BarbaraJohn-o7i]

This is such a good idea lovely for little gifts

[@gailschwenk5354]

thank you Debbie, made two such an easy pattern to follow and added a wristlet strap

[@sueburbidge5401]

I've made two now, one as per your sizes and one I adapted to be slightly smaller. Many thanks Debbie x

[@saraalicea3363]

Lovely wallet, I think I’m going to make it a little bit smaller. Appreciated your sharing, thanks 😊

[@deborabenguer9960]

Happy to make my next Debbies project!! Blessings dear 👍👍🇵🇪

[@lynetterene]

It's going to be fun to pick out the fabric for this wallet

[@paulasmith6169]

Beautiful 😍 love ❤️ it .

[@sherylloyd1937]

Great teaching and is easy to follow

[@wilycat5290]

Lovely wallet. Thank you for the tutorial. 😊👍💕

[@sarahmyk9356]

Thank you for this video. I've been looking for a wallet to make and this is just the video I'm going to use. Your videos are so easy to follow. The way you instruct and your soft sweet voice keeps me calm when trying to sew something new. Thank you so much for making this video available to beginners like myself.

[@olgapapuc6424]

Just made one, thank you very much Debbie, you are the best 😘

[@kathyaschenbach8081]

Thank you can't wait to make it!

[@vikkiemonument7807]

Thank you Debbie, this is so easy to follow I can’t go wrong 😊, thank you 🙏

[@christineavey1398]

I'm thinking of using Cork. I think it maybe harder to sew the bulky bits. I'll use a hump. Hopefully that will work.

[@djeoutdoors]

Great pattern and lots of options to enhance. Thank you ❤

[@denasullivan4134]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much!

[@dianeholmes5874]

You always make everything look so simple! Love your videos.

[@ruthanngreenway4243]

I'm already looking forward to making these for gifts for next Christmas!!!! Thank you!

[@rachealmason1847]

I love your videos! So far this week I’ve made a phone pouch, cross body bag and a messenger bag. I was so pleased with how they turned out I’m going to have a go at the wallet today. I think it would make the perfect gift for Grandma for Mother’s Day next weekend. Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas and expertise 😊

[@samathanammohan2358]

I love your creative 👏👏👏👏

[@brendaeves3236]

This is going to make another lovely Christmas present.

[@magdalenerandall2457]

So Beautiful and creative I'll be making for myself❤

[@debbierawson6583]

Love this wallet, I made it in cork and am going to try make one a bit smallerXX

[@patcollier449]

such great simple instructions

[@barbaramcintyre8213]

Thank you so much Debbie for the tutorials. Love following you and you are such an inspiration. I will definitely have a go at this wallet. I am so busy making bags for Christmas. I am following your example and using drawstring bags instead of paper. The overall look is so much nicer than wrapped in the Christmas paper. Better for the environment too. Lots of work but worth it.

[@patashton2916]

I just made this wallet. Thanks Debbie I found this really easy to make. X

[@paulasmith6169]

Beautiful 😍.

[@Vintagekindagirl3]

excellent as usual thank you!

[@christinegrellier6437]

Really want to make this your so inspiring ❤️

[@bernadettesimpson9563]

Thanks Debbie .. really nice stocking filler making lots today ..

[@mandymichelle6439]

Thank you for one more great tutorial. You instructions are always so easy to follow. Love the fabric you have chosen for both of the wallets.

[@christinemcauliffe1130]

Thanks Debbie xx

[@hume6900]

Hi Debbie and everyone. If you leave a wider opening for turning and finish the edges without sewing the opening closed you could have a secret pocket for keeping things like your passport and boarding pass, etc. or whatever you want to take, but, keep a little more secret and secure.

[@ruthmaxwell60]

Now that IS a clever idea 💡

[@barbaraharty3506]

Yes very good addition… will try that too. Xx

[@hopper7234]

I love your vids! So easy & straight forward to follow! Thank you 🥰

[@patriciabrowning5741]

Awesome job!

[@nmengchong620]

Thank you. I am going to try making this.

[@elizabethrukminiishii7459]

I just made one❣️. It was so easy to follow. Thank you! I’m pleased with the way it came out, so I’m keeping it for myself 😂

[@jennybettles7680]

Thanks Debbie, another little masterclass. I've just made this wallet as a present for my friend and I am so so pleased how it's turned out. A video I would love to see is your sewing machine bag from your book. I made this and struggled a bit so would love to see a step by step a video.

[@yvonnevandermerwe6126]

Love her teaching without just showing with the music.

[@audreyderby7638]

Great wallet. Thank you. I sometimes have a longer zipper than needed. Leave the pull tab outside of the item, then cut after it’s on. I like the glue idea….does it gum up your needle?

[@cheshkat6321]

I plan to make the bowling ball bag as a Christmas gift. Now I can include a matching wallet. It's very interesting that the friend I will be making this for, told me yesterday how disappointed she was because her favorite thrift store didn't have a bag she could buy the other day. She said the prices were as high as brand new bags. I didn't tell her that I already planned a new purse for her. The only reason I had not started yet is because I know she buys a new purse at least once a month. So I hesitated making her something she might only use a few weeks. I will make a few changes, so she can wash it to keep using for a longer time without having to iron it. Having a matching wallet will make it perfect, even if she does buy another purse before receiving this.

[@debbieshore]

What a nice friend you are!

[@IMOO1896]

This is awesome. I’ve been looking for a travel wallet that offered holding areas, but doesn’t add much weight. Thanks so much.

[@tamiroberts9304]

Hi Debbie…could or would you use basal foam and quilt before cutting out the outside and zip pocket or would it be too thick? Thank you and I LOVE your channel and have made several of your projects❣️❣️

[@sandycooper3188]

I just recently found your channel and I love it!!! Your tutorials are fabulous and so easy to follow. In this video there is a bag behind you with sewing machines on itt. I think it is fabulous. Do you have a tutorial for that bag? Also, do you carry that fabric in your shop? Thank you so much. Take care ❤️

[@HutoxyPanthaki]

Thank you. Like the way you take us thru the project step by step. Am from India. Could you please tell me the name of the fabric glue and is it available in A.azon?

[@francoiseframboisine8241]

Hello, je découvre votre chaine et vous remercie pour ce tuto

[@maryannnewsham7714]

Very well explained. I have been looking for a wallet that I would feel confident making and I think I could do this one. Have you done any of these in Cork or vinyl because I'm thinking I would like to make it out of cork.

[@debbieshore]

I haven’t, but that would work very well!

[@dorisosborne132]

If you use leather, do you need to put interfacing on the lining?

[@pearlleonardbouchard2753]

Would you suggest adding a strap to the wallet - to able to use when your shopping instead of bigger purse/wallet.

[@debbieshore]

Good idea!

[@debbiebechelli4225]

Are we using a 1/4 inch seam? Love all your videos.

[@Flutter3ye]

I've been looking for a wallet to sew up for a long time now . This one i like a lot , but measurements are not given for the fabric to start with ? I also cant see anywhere to open a description box ... LOVE your tutorials Debbie

[@Flutter3ye]

ahhh ok, found it YAY !!! what can be used instead of a magnet snap ? I don't have the tool . Maybe a Velcro strip ?

[@muslimahmuslimah6589]

Hi Debbie could you please make this wallet with a zipper right around instead of a snapper. I would love to make one.

[@kemysjamsudin3446]

😊

[@patcaron6357]

I love this pattern! Would this pattern really work with cork? Wouldn't it be too bulky to turn right side out at the finish? Thank you. This was a great video, you teach very clearly.

[@debbieshore]

Cork is actually quite a fine fabric, it would work well with this project… glad you liked it!

[@tammycavell580]

Do you have the measurements for this wallet, or am I just not seeing it. Thanks for all your amazing videos.I have made tons of stuff watching you. Tammy

[@sheilacooper8336]

I’ve got the measurements of the main pieces, but what’s the size of the pocket, ie how deep please ❤

[@1stTessa]

Thank you for a great tutorial on making the wallet and an an inspiration to many people including myself. Can I ask what size magnetic snaps did you use please.

[@debbieshore]

These were 14mm, glad you like it!

[@tinavincent1678]

Where do I get the fabric measurements? Please and thanks

[@IMOO1896]

It’s in the description, hit the “more”button

[@beckycordell7038]

Love this wallet, thank you! If you wanted to give it more body, do you think Bosal or Soft & Stable would work in the outer fabric areas, or would it be too bulky?

[@debbieshore]

I think that would be too bulky, maybe a firm stabiliser like Decovil would work..

[@dorothymasterson57]

I’ve seen other wallet videos where the card slots are stitched at the top folds. Is this done to stiffen the slots. You just folded, ironed and stitched them in the middle and on the sides. What is correct method?

[@nancystrebel3339]

I ‘d like to make you wallet, can’t find the fusible fleece you suggested, is it a medium weight? Or what else would you suggest, thanks for sharing your video

[@debbiebechelli4225]

Do we use a 1/4 inch seam to sew all pieces together

[@nancystrebel3339]

@@debbiebechelli4225 how about the fusible fleece? What is comparable to what you used?

[@teresaparry3172]

🥰🦋🌈🦋🥰

[@jennyreynolds30]

If I make this in cork Debbie,would I need to add fusible fleece to i t ?

[@debbieshore]

I think cork would be fine without fleece..

[@derrickharrelson4683]

Debbie l cannot find the measurements below your video. Where do l click on to find your measurements. Thank you Ann from Mississippi

[@pamelaleitman9305]

Can this be made in cork?

[@claireclark4076]

I'm working my way through your projects.... What make is your large ruler with the measurements and angles on? I've been trying to find something like this. Thanks

[@debbieshore]

That’s an Olfa.,,…

[@premaramoutar8244]

At what point did you use the fleece ?

[@melanieliston4034]

So your zipper was 7 inches in the video, so how come it says 10 inches in your box below?

[@Romcom356]

Hi Debbie. I have been FB messaging you with a query from a pattern in your new pbk on Tote Bags, but the only response I get is a bot asking me to tell it more. And more. And more. I just want my query answering. Is there any way you can help, please?

Could you email [e-mail] please
