Small minimalist bifold Wallet - Sewing Tutorial

[@YoanSewingStudio]

I just wanted to put a remark on 9:33 (zipper panel), if you use print fabric (with right side and the wrong side), after you sew the lining panel, when you open the zipper, the wrong side will show inside the zipper pocket, I had to compromise this to minimize the bulk. If that bothers you, you may use solid fabric (with no right side or wrong side; or add an extra layer of lining, face the right side to the wrong side of the zipper panel, baste stitch, and then sew the second lining as instructed) Download the pattern bit.ly/335yrfk Time Stamps Intro 00:00 Preparing the fabric 01:29 Wallet Exterior 01:38 Card Pocket 02:17 Zipper pocket 06:01 Assembling the wallet interior 10:10 Button Flap 12:58 Assembling the wallet 15:10 Closing 18:20

You have taught me so much I am a total beginner and the printed pdf is such a great help a big thankyou going to have a go at the wallet now

[@marjoriedavidson9323]

Thank you for all your vids. Great instructor. 👍

[@AnthonyAlexzander]

She’s amazing. I get confused and lost so easily in sewing tutorials and she is so thorough and precise with teaching. She has a gift.

[@mauravolante]

I did it! I am very happy with my new wallet. It is much less bulky than my old one and it is pretty (flowered fabric). I decided to do it with two card pockets and leave out the zipper pocket, as I don't use cash very often and there is no need to weigh down my every day wallet with coins. I am going to make a separate little change purse out of the same fabric and keep that in my purse alongside the wallet. You are very clear in your instructions and you have a lovely, soft voice that is a pleasure to listen to.

[@kathygardner9081]

I made a wallet with your design. I modified it a little bit, leaving out the zipper. Thank you for your incredibly detailed directions and pdf file. It was a joy to make my wallet.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

So glad to hear that Kathy, anytime :)

[@lhoffelder253]

I have made dozens of purses, card wallets, wallets, boxes, etc. This is the best turorial/instructions I have ever seen! You're amazing!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

thank you so much!

[@suezeeq12]

I just love how you always respond to followers and make these items - you're the best!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

susan ramos thank you Susan 🤗 ❤️

[@Hellianna1102]

Amazing! I'm a complete beginner, have never used a button, or a zipper, and I managed to do the wallet with your tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@liliacesena301]

Thank you for providing the instructions and the pattern measurements at no cost. I am going to make one now as watch your video and follow the instructions that I printed. I'll comment once I'm finished.

[@brendamatson99]

Great instructions. Will give this a try today!

[@xyzkdbs.9309]

You are such a nice teacher for everyone.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Thank you.

[@eileenmeyers6080]

I love the way you explain things. I am going to make some of these for gifts for my family and friends. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@isthisanonymousidk]

I made this 2 years ago and it's still holding up! I love it so much that I've made 4 more for others, this is my go-to diy gift that looks sooooo expensive and it's so customizable 😭🙏🏻 may the sewing gods infinitely bless this woman

[@YoanSewingStudio]

so glad to hear that...thank you for your kind words ♥️

[@Thisisit120]

You just solve my problem for what to make for Christmas thank you for your very easy to follow instructions.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

My pleasure Reta! Happy sewing!

[@RockyRacoon123]

I love this pattern! And thank you for the easy to understand instructions. I’ve made several, some with 2 sided card holders. Tip: If you cut out all of the pieces at the start, label them.

[@joycemotirale]

I was really looking forward to men's wallets, and totally loved it....do show more of men's long wallets and laptop bags as well !!!

[@waveartculture]

That was great! Your instructions were so clear, that even I, as a beginner, could make one. Thank you!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Glad you like it Salma, happy sewing ❤️

[@brendamatson99]

Made one. Now on my second one. Thanks so much for the great instructions!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

you're welcome Brenda!

[@florence6948]

Hello, I'm from Belgium and I just achieved your tutorial! It was really great to do, so well explained and filmed! And last but not least, you also wrote the measurements in centimeters, what a time saving for those whose use that measure system :-) Thank you!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

So glad to hear that, I recently started including the cm measurements to make it easier for metric users, and will continue to do so for future uploads. Thanks!!

[@missymom53525]

I'm pretty new to sewing in general, and I sure did struggle with some parts of this wallet, but I finished it in just a few hours and it's totally functional and my daughter loves it ❤️

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Glad your daughter loves it Melissa ❤️

[@bevmorris7685]

You are a lifesaver tonight! Long story, but I needed a small wallet pattern for my daughter's birthday. None of the designers I normally buy from had anything I was interested in, so I was trolling KZbin for videos of wallets, hoping to find one I could buy. And this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so very much! You are awesome!

[@youngmanmary2918]

Every time I watch this you amaze me with your talent. You are such a great teacher and such a soothing voice .Thank you again .God bless

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Anytime. Thank you for your kind words.

[@mokarina913]

I bought an insect patterned fabric ages ago to make something for my insect-crazy friend. I made a backpack, but I have plenty of fabric left over for another project. I have been searching for a good tutorial on wallets and this one is brilliant. A matching wallet will complete the Xmas gift :)

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Sounds Great!! Happy Sewing!!

[@hopegilbert5899]

Yoan you are such a good teacher 😃. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Anytime, Thank you :)

[@murielmcdonald5853]

I LOVE your tutorial! I'm an intermediate beginner and have only sewed some zip pouches so far, but you put so much step-by-step detail in this tutorial that it was possible for me to complete this project. It's not perfect, but considering this is the first time doing this, I did great! Thank you!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Glad to hear that Muriel, thank you

[@margaretdent1312]

Thank you for providing such clear instructions and download for free.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

No problem :)

[@marionstolmeier6209]

Great pattern and tutorial! My wallet came out great! Thank you for sharing.

[@kimhiggins4486]

I love your videos. I made this one, but changed it up a little. I needed a card holder for gift cards. I made 2 of the card slot sections and left out the part for holding the cash.

[@shadowmom]

Thank you so much, a lot of wallets are so thick and bulky, this will be perfect for my son as he hates to big and bulky. So thank you this has come at the perfect time xx

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Anytime Sue, Happy Sewing!!❤️

[@karenpalmer9988]

Very easy to follow wallet, but I had a hard time with the Topstitching around the wallet at the end, so I just didn't do it. Too much thickness even when I put a Denim needle on, and raised the knob on my Juki 18 machine...It came out beautifully, and it's for my grandsons teacher. I think she will really like it. Thank you Yoan!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

glad to hear that Karen ❤️

[@annakelly6423]

I’ve been looking for a wallet this size and couldn’t find one. Your tutorial was so clear and easy for me to follow that I decided to try to make one. I love it! I just finished my second wallet. It is for my nephew. Instead of the coin pocket I put a second card pocket in his.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Thanks Anna, so glad to hear that :)

Awesome but i find a lot of difficult y in sewing zip. Any suggestion you can use instead of zip?

you can sew card pockets on both sides instead

[@heddybell]

Hi - I am at the point of having just placed the tabs on the end of the zip. Does this not make the opening - which is now 3" with the tabs added - very small to get coins out of? I don't want to go any further and cut the excess zip off in case I have done something wrong? Thank you. Update: It's ok - I just carried on - it's fine
