CHEZVIES: wallet pattern for beginners

Hello,

Today I want to share the new beginner's friendly wallet pattern, KODOMO WALLET, that I recently released on my Webshop as well as in my Etsy shop. Kodomo means child in Japanese and this is what exactly the wallet is about. A simple and functional wallet that is perfect for kids as well as adults.

I have been making this kodomo wallet in my handmade shops and it is popular with my customers. They love the simplicity and functionality of the design, and also the fun print choice we can use.

If you are a beginner or novice sewist in wallet making, this might be the perfect pattern for you.

The materials needed to make this pattern:

3 Fat eighth (9” x 22”) quilting weight fabrics for exterior, interior, and card slots

1 Fat eighth all-purpose fusible interfacing (SF101 or equivalent)

1 Fat eighth lightweight fusible non-woven interfacing for card slots

1 – 0.75” diameter cute button

5” long 1/4” wide elastic

#3 all purposes zipper – 9” or longer

And of course, video tutorial is also available on my YouTube channel for those of you who are more visual learners.

I made a couple of wallets for the shop using this kids' print fabric that I have in my stash. These Alice in Wonderland Wallets are really cute and are popular with my customers.

More wallets for kids! They are so fun, right?

The Kodomo Wallet has 6 card slots, and 1 zippered compartment and is closed with an elastic and cute button. Just perfect to keep cards, cash, and coin. The size is also pretty compact at 4" x4.5" and can easily fit into a pocket or small bag.

The pattern is written in English with step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow and also comes with full-size templates.
