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. 👍

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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 ♥️

[@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

[@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 ❤️

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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 !!!

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@margaretdent1312]

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Yoan, I LOVE your videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and ideas in a way that makes it easy to follow and successfully make my own little wallets! I love to make purses, totes, and wallets for craft shows, and I have have used your videos to make many small things. Great for using up scraps! You are a wonderful teacher. I look forward to your future videos.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

So glad to hear that. Thank you for your kind words

[@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]

[@ItsViolaRose]

Can I skip the interfacing if I'm using denim? Also I really like that you properly finished the zipper and button. Too many tutorials just kinda glue stuff in

[@YoanSewingStudio]

yes, if you're happy with the weight of your denim fabric, you can skip the interfacing. Thank you.

[@georgycolson9671]

beautiful!

[@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

I made this wallet. Was simple and would be cute cute but I have a problem. Am I supposed to have a raw edge on the card pockets? Did I miss something in your video? It doesn't look nice at all. Help please, and thank you so so much!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

there shouldn't be any raw edges on the card pocket, everything is explained in the video, you may need to double check again. Thanks!

Great!! May I know whether these are washable please?

I recommend to spot clean only, or hand wash in cold water with mild detergent if you really have to.

Great tutorial just what I was looking for to make for my fiance' but I without the zipper and more pockets his hands are not as well as they're use to be he has trouble opening zippers can I make the men wallet with more pockets easy access to get his cards and cash

[@YoanSewingStudio]

yes, you can substitute the zipper pocket with more card pockets

@@YoanSewingStudio I tried making it with stretching jeans and failed ☹️It came out wonky didn't like it so I'm going to do over need to find 💯 cotton more male looking fabrics 🤔🤔where can I find male looking fabrics will love any ideas

[@YoanSewingStudio]

@@encarnacionada2, yes stretchy fabric can be problematic for this project , 100% cotton (quilting kind especially) is definitely easier and more forgiving to work with. I usually look online, maybe find solid color or subtle print (stripes, plaid) for more masculine look. Good luck with your project.

I love ur walking foot...🥰 where did you get it from. I bought 2 from China and they're alright but the bottom keeps shifting and falling off...

Thank you, my walking foot came with my machine, (Juki brand), you may try looking for the one that's manufactured by the sewing machine brand that you use (I assume it might be better in quality, although not always)

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.
