Sew a fast and easy minimalist zipper wallet

Sew a very quick to make unisex zipper wallet using this pattern !

I designed and made this minimalist style unisex zipper wallet due to my husband’s request.  Before we went to Spain, my husband wanted a wallet that can easily allow him to put in his cash, coins and credit cards with handy pocket size.  There will be no hassle looking for wallet in his backpack when we were on our trip. 

After designing the size and template for this wallet, It took me about less than an hour to sew this wonderful wallet for him.  I used ticking fabric and thin cotton jeans-look-alike fabric, just to present a unisex look for this wallet (sometimes I can use it too ^v^).

All you need are just simple materials to start this sewing project and it surely is going to be great gift for your love one.

Almost done !

I have been finding solution for the handle of this project.  Am thinking a way to present it and can use in multiple way, besides that, the size and design of this handle have to be cute !

Searching through my fabric cabinets for the Japanese sakizome (taupe) right fabric pattern and color, finally this one helps !  phew !! 

Next is the shape of the handle.  To be frank, when designing a new bag pattern, one needs to put in lots of time from designing to completing a beautiful bag.  It is a big challenge, imagine you need to start from scratch, from a piece of paper, to making the pattern and to making the bag.  No wonder designers are paid pretty good price for their works.

 Of course for me over here, the most important thing is, you get something really unique and you don’t see a lot of people carrying almost the same bag as yours.  That makes you so proud, agree ?

I think I should be able to complete this project tomorrow.  Yahoo !!

Double zipper long purse sewing pattern

I’ve had serious craving to try my way of making a double zipper pouch.  After few round of testing, I finally get the measurement and methods right, in a faster and easier method of course!

While testing my instructions to make this purse, I thought of making something more unique than the normal purse, that is to use multiple fabrics for the card pockets.  And my idea works well in my pattern.  When I showed this purse to my friends who came over to my house for coffee break last weekend.  They were all surprised by the interior of my purse and they found that using multiple fabrics actually added so much more character and surprises to a purse.  I really feel so happy for the result.  I have got a lot of ideas in mind now but so far, let’s make this style as the start.

Purse making is really full of fun, when you changed the fabric style, it will change the character of your purse too.  Like this purse, I chose Japanese zakka and vintage style, the result is beautiful.  You can also try as many style as possible using this purse pattern from shabby chic to retro to sporty style. Just play with the pattern, you will surely be amazed with your creations.

Here is my latest double zipper purse.  

The purse pattern has 2 zipper compartments for coins and some other loose items / documents.  

There are 6 card pockets and 2 large pockets for your money or check book too.
