Description
Paper Pattern – The Road Trip Wallet
*** This is an English only printed pattern. The downloadable pdf version is available in another listing.
The Road Trip Wallet, in 2 sizes, features 2 full-length zipper pockets that form the front and back “covers” of this book-like wallet. These covers flip open to reveal a center zipper pouch with an ID Window Pocket, and 2 sections of credit card slot pockets. The small size holds 10 cards, and the large, 16. Use my unique method to create the straightest credit card slots! Draw your card slot lines quickly and precisely with our plastic template, available at emmalinebags.com. Choose from 3 versions of closures to finish off your wallet. Note: Version C works with the large size only because the ID Pocket interferes with the snap in the small size.
This is an “Intermediate to Advanced” sewing pattern with a lot of cutting involved. Use the “speed cutting”method to make things go along quicker!
Small Size: Width– 6 1/2” (16.5 cm) Height– 4.5” (11.5 cm) Depth– 3/4” (19 mm)
Large Size: Width– 8” (20 cm) Height– 4.5” (11.5 cm) Depth– 3/4” (19 mm)
A rotary cutter, mat and gridded ruler, are required to cut pattern pieces. Not all pattern pieces are provided.
Get the Plastic Template! A plastic template ruler to help draw the credit card slots is not necessary, but truly a very helpful tool to make straight and even lines using my NEW credit card slot method. This method makes the straightest card slots! Get the Ruler.
