Pattern Update: Adding Flap Closure on Rosie Wallet

Rosie Cardholder Wallet

Hello,

Today, I will share how to make a slim flap for Rosie Wallet. This can be another alternative to the original pattern with the hidden flap. 

Materials:

Contrast fabric - cut 1 - 2" x 5.5" (5 x 14 cm)

Interfacing - cut 1 - 2" x 5.5" (5 x 14 cm)

STEPS: 

1. Iron the interfacing on the wrong side of the contrast fabric and fold the longer sides towards the center like in the picture below. 

2. Now fold the flap so that the short ends meet.

3. Sew around the three sides, leaving the raw edge side unsewn.

4. Place the flap on the center left of the exterior panel and baste stitch. The seam allowance is 1/8" (3 mm).

5. On the right side, install the snap button socket, approximately 1" (2.5 cm) away from the center.

6. The button cap should only placed through the exterior panel and the first lining panel. You can install the button cap before attaching the binding or after. 

7. On the flap, install the other part of the snap button approximately 0.5" (1.3 cm) away from the top.

Now continue finishing the wallet as per the pattern. That's super easy, right?
