Thanks .. love this tutorial ..love that you use rivets.. love that you cut out all the wallet slots and did both sides at the same time..amazing

[@Olivers-G0mmer]

Really pretty combination and nice sewing! ❤️ I like 809 or Craft Fuse in the card slots, too. Nice and sturdy. And I like the extra room from putting the snap up higher. 👍 This is my favorite wallet to make - I use Jessica Cruzan's simplified version except that I always put in two zipper pockets and I curve the front of the flap. I made the first couple of dozen on a 1947 Singer 15-91 and sewing those final side pieces was mur. Der. 😄 I bought an industrial and a hand press and those changed *everything.* Thank you so much for all the hours of videos, you young women are keeping me company. 😊

[@justmep61]

Great tutorial and thank you for showing how to add a wristlet strap! I always felt that these larger wallets needed one.

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

I find that I never pay attention to anything except the machine itself. It's just so mesmerizing to someone who dreams of owning a machine like this!

[@zoeingram]

I made an NCW using the directions that came with the pattern. It turned out ok but the zipper pocket didn’t turn out great. I used your method for both and wow, what a difference. SO much better. Thanks so much for taking the time to video tutorials!

[@terryivey5374]

I do like the way you did this video. Seemed clear and not rushed. Also, the rivets! Appreciate they were not installed out of view. I struggle with the simplest details. Thank you :)

[@patriciasinclair3210]

I Have just watched your very interesting video. Having made a couple myself, even now I have picked up some wonderful tips, which I will incorporate in my next wallet., however one tip I have which you may find useful is ,when you are measuring to insert the magnetic fastener, use the bottom of the fastener (the one with the holes in), rather than the piece with the prongs. Lay this piece down flat on your fabric and mark through the two little slits, and then make your cut. I think this is much easier than trying to make a mark with the prongs. Thank you for the tutorial. I am in the UK , and will be watching for further tutorials from you.

[@rhondabasore8750]

Thank you. I bought the material and pattern two years ago. Tried making by reading just the pattern. Could not figure out. Thank you so much for making this video. I watched two others and found your instructions easy to follow and very Helpful. Thank you,

[@PeggyDieu]

Thank you so much for this video! I watched it the other day and decided to try it out today. Thanks for sewing with me all day today! ha! It took me most of the day to get it made, and I'm loving it! It really helped watching you sew each step...then I would pause the video and do each step. Really like how you do your videos! :)

[@SiahSwag]

Peggy Dieu awe that is so awesome to hear! I’d love to see a pic of Your finished wallet!!!😁

[@rettl.9720]

Thanks for doing this video, K! Lots of great tips on both WHEN & WHERE to place the 🧲 . I learned a great deal watching you make this & you have a great camera angle set up for viewing, too. BRAVO! 👏

[@SiahSwag]

Rett L. Oh thank you so much for the feedback! I’m glad this video was helpful for you!❤️

[@ssergeant9682]

I made one quite a while ago and goofed up the back, so I added a little pocket on the back to cover up my mistake. best thing I ever did. easy to stick a folded $20 or a frequently used credit card without having to open the wallet. I need to make another, but need to make it a bit bigger. I have way too much junk.

[@marie_171]

I have watched a few videos now on how to make thee NCW wallet. And your video is the BEST one I have seen. Exactly what I was looking for . Thank you sooo much. Clear instructions. I can’t hardly wait to start my wallet now.

[@Snow_Blue_Pearl]

Best NCW demo so far!

[@SiahSwag]

Jessica Soto oh wow thank you for making my night!☺️☺️☺️

[@ronagallup4037]

Beautiful wallet! I've always been afraid of this pattern simply because of the folds. I know I would never be able to fit those in my machine, but the rivets look much easier. Maybe I will purchase it now. You would think at 60 years old I would know how to do that, so thank you so much for demonstrating that on camera.

[@FicelleProductions]

Another great video. I like that you are relaxed and not afraid to show your thought process. You have just the right amount of talking to showing. I also like that you are not afraid to do something different from what's in the pattern. In addition to getting a good handle on the pattern, I learned something in this video about positioning my left hand. Also, I love to watch your machine. It has such a nice sound and pinpoint accuracy! I don't know if you would consider trying the Apricate clutch (or if you're allowed). It has a zillion pieces . . .

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you! Yes that designer does her own videos and does not allow others. So sorry!

[@susanlauder5308]

Thank you again! made my own wallet! I just love making this! especially with your video guiding me.. I wouldn't be able to complete it otherwise... Thanx again...HAPPY NEW YEAR!! muah!

I’ve watched all your “lessons” You are the very best. Your detailing methods are giving me so much encouragement to try things I never would have. I really want to make the everything wallet but was still worried about attaching the zipper pocket. I read the comment from TheFoxSews and your replies. That sounds like it could work on my Epic2. I was wondering if you’ve heard how she made out. Thanks again for everything. I am truly appreciative.

[@Soralella71]

[@juliamason8393]

When I make a NCW, I put a piece of RFID fabric behind the card slots before se wing the last side on the card slots.

[@michellepage6043]

Julia Mason whats rfid fabric ?

[@juliamason8393]

@@michellepage6043 It is a metallic fabric made from metal thread to stop Radio frequency readers from getting your credit card information off your card. Years ago I was a victim of some one who used a card reader and stole everything I had in my bank account. I filed a police report and got most of my money back but ever since I have been vigilante about keeping my credit info private.

[@michellepage6043]

What seam allowances are you using ?

[@juliamason8393]

I put it behind the card slots before I see the side. I cut it so that it goes from the top card slot to the other side top card slot and slip it in behind the card slot fabric and the card slot backing.

[@SiahSwag]

I follow the same seam allowances as the pattern suggests.

[@patriciagrams7407]

I really love the wallet. If I may suggest something. When you added the inner section and sewed it with white thread, it took so much from wallet. If you sewed the middle section together and put rivets to connect the outside piece. I personally think it would add so much to the wallet. You do beautiful work. I love to watch you channel.

[@evelynbaezlindecamp2074]

I wonder if you would consider a tutorial on adding an exterior zipper on 3 sides instead of a flap?

[@rockerchic8205]

I love this video! Very clear and easy to follow! Thank you!!!!! Just wondering which machine are you using?

[@SiahSwag]

Rocker Chic thank you so much! I am using a Kingmax, it’s like a step below the juki 1541, just not the name brand, and works wonderfully! I love it so much!

[@QueenB1066]

I love this video. I'm learning about the different interfacings but can Decovil heavy be used instead of 2 decovil light? I'm wondering if Decovil heavy might be too much. I'm so excited about making this wallet... Thank you so much for this video. Love your channel.

[@starkseys5070]

Love it beautiful clutch 💗. Can you tell me what kind of thread you use?

[@SiahSwag]

starksey S thank you! I use a 69 nylon thread 😁

[@thefoxsews3832]

You are so good at these tutorials! I've been looking at this pattern for ages but think that my domestic will hate it with all the layers in some parts. Do you think that if you cut the interfacing a touch smaller so it wasn't in the seams/edges of the card slots it would make attaching it under the 'wings' easier? And when attaching the zipper pocket at the end, do you think you could sew the rectangle onto the pocket while it is still separate and then attach it to the slots with a couple of rivets instead of sewing it all together? Also, what would be a good substitute for the Decovil that you use for the main flap?

[@SiahSwag]

Hey there! Yes if you keep the interfacing out of the seam allowances AND use cotton you can do this on a domestic for sure, I started that way. I am not sure about the zipper pocket part, give it a go! And I would substitute some kind of peltex in place of the decovil, again out of your seam allowances. 😃

[@kyahgirl1360]

Thanks for the video. I appreciate your method of sewing the pocket. I followed the pattern directions and it didn’t go smoothly. I will try your technique next time.

[@maryannwhelan4931]

I am wondering if this can be sewn on a regular sewing machine I want to order the pattern but I am worried I won't be able to make it Your tutorial is great Thank you

[@SiahSwag]

Well I could do it all until the very last couple steps, when you sew the inside pockets down in the middle, my domestic struggled with the layers

[@shannona6533]

Great video! Would you please share your source for your zippers. I’m always on the hunt for different zippers and I really like the look of the zipper you used in this video.

[@SiahSwag]

I love ordering mine from Etsy at myhandmadespace. 😁

[@handiann]

I like your way of stitching the wallet much better than the pattern method, but doesn’t starting the final topstitching on the zipper pocket partway down the side seam leave raw edges from there up to the zipper tab? It does on mine 🤷‍♀️ Or am I getting something wrong?

[@yayaglass]

Great vid! I'm making this wallet today and this really helped! I looked at your link for the 'Rivet' setter, but it's for grommets. Where did you get rivet dies for it? Look forward to watching more from you! K
