Mini Wallet made by sewing at handmade on basic sewing machine

Creating a mini wallet using a basic sewing machine is a fun and rewarding project, perfect for beginners! Below is a simple step-by-step guide to help you sew a mini wallet by hand:

Materials Needed:

Fabric: Two pieces of cotton fabric (outer and lining) – about 8” x 6”.
Interfacing: Optional, but it can add structure (the same size as the fabric).
Velcro or snap button: For closure.
Sewing thread: Matching your fabric color.
Sewing machine (or hand sewing tools): Scissors, pins, and measuring tape.
Iron: For pressing seams.

Steps to Make a Mini Wallet:

1. Cut Your Fabric Pieces:

Cut one piece of fabric for the outer layer and one for the lining, both measuring 8” x 6”.
If using interfacing, cut a piece of interfacing to match the outer fabric size.

2. Fuse the Interfacing (Optional):

If you’re using interfacing, follow the manufacturer's instructions to fuse it to the wrong side of the outer fabric. This step adds durability to your wallet.

3. Create the Fold:

Fold the outer fabric in half (right sides together) to form a rectangle measuring 4” x 6”. Pin the edges together for sewing.

4. Sew the Sides:

Using a straight stitch, sew along the two open sides of the folded piece, leaving a 1/4” seam allowance. Make sure to backstitch at the beginning and end to secure your stitches.

5. Turn Right Side Out:

After sewing, turn the wallet right side out. A pencil or turning tool can help push out the corners neatly. Press it with an iron for a crisp finish.

6. Prepare the Lining:

Take the lining fabric and do the same: fold it in half (right sides together) and sew the two sides, leaving the top open. Turn it right side out once done.

7. Insert the Lining:

Place the lining into the outer wallet, aligning the top edges. The right sides of both fabrics should face each other.

8. Add Closure:

Position the Velcro or snap button on the outer layer and lining where you want the closure to be. Sew it in place.

9. Finish the Top Edge:

Fold the top edge of the lining down into the wallet. Pin it in place. Topstitch around the top edge of the wallet to secure both layers and create a finished look.

10. Final Touches:

Trim any excess threads, and give your mini wallet a final press with the iron if needed.

Optional: Add Card Slots

You can modify the wallet to have card slots by dividing the lining with additional fabric pieces. Simply cut smaller rectangles, sew them in place on the lining, and follow the same steps for finishing.

Tips:

Choosing Fabrics: Use cotton fabrics for ease of sewing, or experiment with faux leather for a more sophisticated look.
Practice First: If you're new to sewing, practice on scrap pieces of fabric before starting your project.
Customization: Feel free to add embellishments, like labels or patches, before assembling your wallet for a unique touch!
