Sewing Tutorial: All Cork Necessary Clutch Wallet, pattern by Emmaline Bags.

[@ecast9944]

I can’t begin to describe how satisfying it was when you found the magnet backing. I found myself shouting, “It’s at 9 inches!” Ha ha... I do that all the time. Beautiful wallet!

[@SewGnar]

Hahahahahahaha!!! Those little buggers always hide from me!

[@teresamcdonald9069]

oh I've had the pattern for years, just never found a good tutorial on how to get a cork wallet out of it and yours show all cork which is even better. Thank you!

[@SewGnar]

Glad to help!

[@elizabethvenner8655]

I love it in all cork. Beautiful job on the wallet and the video. So clean! Thank you for sharing.

[@SewGnar]

You’re very welcome!

[@Shadenese1960]

I love your modifications. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@SewGnar]

Thanks!

[@debbiegoodyear5963]

I have learned so much watching your videos because you explain everything you do so thank you Nicole

[@SewGnar]

So happy to hear that, and happy to have you here!

[@DD-ki9xt]

I love the NCW done in cork! I have to try this. Just gorgeous. Thanks again for sharing this!

[@SewGnar]

No problem!

[@carolynkiehn3749]

This video was a game changer for me . I have always been intimidated by cork and you made it so easy. I’m going to buy some cork and give it a try. Thank you I learned so much.

[@SewGnar]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

[@deborahdeantorain4882]

I just purchased a yard of cork so I am going to try your version I my have to watch your video more than several times

[@janislitynsky4824]

I Just found you oh my gosh I love your design of this wallet it makes so much sense even for fabric. You’re a very good teacher thank you so much JANIS from Canada

[@SewGnar]

Aw thanks Janis! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Excellent tutorial!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

[@SewGnar]

No problem!

[@pamsfiberfrenzy]

Wow! You are precise and meticulous,that’s for sure! I love that about you!

[@SewGnar]

Aww thanks. I don’t think I could be sloppy if I tried. 😂

[@SBL1932]

You are an amazing teacher. This video is well demonstrated and has tremendous information

[@SewGnar]

Wow, thank you!

[@amandaberge4795]

Thank you, I love it. You now have a new subscriber.

[@SewGnar]

Aww thanks!

[@Jmzblondable]

I did the calculation and you would need 58.5x16" piece of the self-healing edge textile of your choice to make this wallet (that is using only a single color). Just FYI for anyone else who was wondering. ETA: if you print the pattern at 90% and use the following measurements, you can get the pattern from an 18x54 piece of cork (as sold on Fabric Funhouse). Credit Card Slot (2)7x15 Credit Card Slot Back (2)7x7 Zipper Pouch (2)6.5x6.5 (zipper tab measurements the same)

[@SewGnar]

Awesome!!

[@sewwawa3202]

Ur awesome. I'm terrible at math lol it hurts my head.

[@annebrunner3649]

Your precision and attention to detail is unsurpassed. Thank you for a great video.

[@SewGnar]

Thank you! I'm a pretty specific person so that translates into my sewing as well.

[@jeantillotson4091]

Super clear instructions, love how quickly you made it, will have to try this soon!

[@SewGnar]

It’s very fun, you’ll love it!

[@elonanamor6420]

Thank you Nicole for sharing. Your very talented and very generous to share all the information. I am sure it didn't just come to you overnight how to do it the way you do. I bet it took some tweeking to get the whole thing done to what it is now. I do prefer the other view of you sewing at the machine though. Easier to see what you are doing.

[@SewGnar]

It has taken me a while but I’m happy to share!

[@ninibartolome5666]

I love how meticulous you are with your work! So satisfying to watch. ❤️

Outstanding!! Love the modifications you’ve made. Brilliant. Hope you’ll do the Mini sometime. Here it is almost 2022! Wow. Happy new Year! 🎆 BtW, Lauren was making her NY NCW and remarked about your cork version sending many of us over here to have a look. I’m a Subbie, but thought that was nice of Lauren.

[@SewGnar]

Aww, she’s the absolute sweetest!

[@justmep61]

Loved your tutorial and the way you made the outer piece into one piece. And I really liked the shape of the flap better than the curved one. You're amazing!

[@SewGnar]

Aww thank you!

[@terribushnell1145]

I love the whole piece combined with the flap and the body - I also need to do the squared off flap - much faster to sew. I just got some new cork and guess I will be trying this method next week when I get my other NCWs done :)

[@SewGnar]

It definitely makes for a quick sew having it all one piece and squared off!!

[@kellyebrown8098]

@renee thomas, Thanks for asking the question I needed an answer for! @sewgnar, love the look of this with the one piece and you make this look easy and doable! Keep doing what you do!! 🥰

[@SewGnar]

Thank you!

[@cdvax11]

I love how you work. Makes everything so simple. I am much more confident with cork, thanks to you. That one piece pattern makes so much sense. Suggestion. If you make the card slots using the technique you use with the fabric and slits in your Tall Wallet pattern, the NCW is much less bulky. Love you!

[@SewGnar]

I’ve thought of doing that for my card slots but haven’t tried it yet, it’s on my ever growing to-do list!

[@lauramiddleton2709]

FINALLY, a tutorial that makes sense! I have had this pattern since it came out. I've made 6 and I hated making every single one of them due to none of the tutorials I have seen so far made sense to me. This did. I wish I had your template lol Now, I rewound this and could not understand one part. On your flap did you add the 1/4" SA or didn't. I like how you did the lining in cork also, it doesn't fall forward when opened. Thank you for the great video! I do now know which wallet I will be making next year in 2020 and on!

[@SewGnar]

Hi Laura, I'm so happy my tutorial made sense for you! To attach the flap to the body, you'll want to add 1/4" to the straight bottom edge and tape that extra you added to the top center of the main body panel. Maybe I'll show a video of how I made that for you guys too!

[@lauramiddleton2709]

[@teresamcdonald9069]

@@SewGnar I think I need a video of it, because your reply here made me think of something else and in the tutorial you said you attached the Flap (as is from pattern) to the body by overlapping the bottom piece by a ¼", is that right? I've also gotta to learn how to make that alternate flap too lol

[@annetteharris1610]

I love the way you put this together. Do you think I could make 2 zipper pockets instead of just one? Thanks for the great videos!!!😊

[@dianejohanson98]

Nice wallet pattern and video.

[@maryellenlanigan382]

First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH! for this fabulous video tutorial. I have the pattern but never attempted it. I love your changes. I have a question about the rivets. I did not see you put in the ones on the bottom, so I am not sure how that works but I love the way it looks. I wonder if you could clue me in. I have mine all cut out in cork and have started some of the things. Thank you again!

[@SewGnar]

Put rivets where you deem necessary. The wallet will trained to stay folded and closed around the zipper pocket. If I add them closer to the bottom it’s about 2” from the top.

[@sharonjackson34]

So glad I found you. You have a new subscriber.

[@SewGnar]

Aww yay! Welcome!

[@ruthmartin4705]

WOW!! I can't believe I just found you today!! What a great video! I don't understand why you burn your raw edges and glue them. Could you point me to your video about that (I think you mentioned that you had made one just about that) Anyway, so well done - I joined a cork of the month club and very quickly ran out of stuff to make....now I know what everyone is going to get for Xmas!! :) Your final product was simply stunning! Thank you so much.

[@SewGnar]

I burn the edges to get any fuzzies cleared up before gluing or edge coating, just so there aren’t bumps in the paint/glue. The gluing video is here on my channel, just search for it!

[@crl52689]

Great tutorial!

[@mauihumv]

Love this. Cannot wait to try one of my own.

[@SewGnar]

[@marciadumas8962]

This is a great tutorial, thanks so much.

[@SewGnar]

No problem!

[@chucklenz9011]

This is nice. You work really Hard to make it right. I'd like to see u make one without the rivited sides, with the cards slots running in the same direction as the one u made.

[@SewGnar]

I don’t sew the sides because it’s too thick. I prefer the look of the rivets too, which is why I’ve made them like this since the dawn of time!

[@suzys4316]

thank you Nicole I will take the other one apart and redo the lining your way lol

[@candicelane13]

You did a awesome job, very easy to follow. Question... how would you make this with the inside of the body being fabric instead of cork., as for the edges of the fabric not being sealed

[@SewGnar]

I'd follow the normal way to make the card slots as outlined in the pattern from Emmaline Bags!

[@fabiola5762]

This is awesome what you did!!!

[@valeriegray3967]

Watching this video again before trying my hand at the NCW in cork. Love your tutorials. Is there any reason that I wouldn’t be able to use WPC for the card slots or do the no fold hack? I wanted to save some cork. I just started making a few items in cork. Thanks for your tips and videos.

[@SewGnar]

I think you could use WPC but you’d have to add in a seam allowance so you can flip and topstitch the card slot panel
