Another set of Fold Over Wallets.
I found a long scrap of this screen printed linen in my stash. Platinum Collection © NNXIX US Canada.
It had a wide selvage edge so I just layed the next strip over that edge and aligned the designs till I was happy and pinned it. Then I did that again to give me a strip of fabric wider than the 5.25 inches and just over the 11 inches tall I needed.
I sewed these pieces together with the same overcast stitch I used on my fabric collage piece with the yellow thread from the previous session.
Then, I found a piece of fabric for the lining and I used the grey stretchy fabric for the elastic.
I found this batick fabric in my scrap stash. Gorgeous deep rich colors. It is a heavier fabric but ironed beautifully.I chose a coordinating brown cotton for the lining fabric.
I added a blue elastic to keep the wallet closed.
Love the vibrant yellow in this wallet.
These again, are all lined with RFID fabric to prevent the theft of your information on your credit / payment cards.
What cards can you put in these wallets: All kinds - credit cards, transit cards, library cards, loyalty cards, business cards (yours or those you need to access regularly).
I chose a white cotton lining fabric and a grey stretchy fabric for the closure.
The elastic is placed at the 3.25 inches from the bottom edge of the fabric. I reinforce the seam where it is as it will be a stress point. It is easier to choose fabric that is works in any direction. The one above I wanted the back to the be the front but I put my elastic in the other place and the prettiest piece is on the back. It does allow one to see it all at least.
