Sew a Fabric Billfold Wallet 

I made a wallet for a man using this tutorial. The instructions were simple to follow even for someone who has never made a wallet. I recommend using coat/jean thread and a Jeans needle when you get to the extremely thick parts towards the end. This will help your wallet to remain intact and to ensure that your thread and needle will not break. Great Christmas gift for my guy.

How did I not find you until tonight. What a fabulous job you did on the wallet, and you're a great teacher!

I'll just add another comment! I love the fact that the "mistakes" are left in your video! Because then we can see how you correct it ❤️

Hi Nikki. As a blind sewist, I truly appreciate your verbal explanations. They are very concise and help give a clear mental picture of why you say to sew things a certain way. I am making two of these for gifts for two young men I know, so I will omit the tab. I will also be looking at your other videos; if they are as clearly explained as this one, I will be subscribing. You'd be amazed how many people give directions like, "sew it together here" which, if I'm having a bad eye day or the material colors are lacking enough contrast, are absolutely impossible for me to follow. Thank you!

watching this again, looking for idea's for my 13-year-old son; you always make things look so easy!!! I love your tutorials! Thank you for your time, and I always sprinkle the love of your videos when people ask questions on fb sewing groups that allow it. I have made scrunchies, I have also made your zipper coin pouches! Oh wait, I made book sleeves!!! Lots of Love from WPB Florida!

You are a wonderful teacher. I just bought some of that RFID fabric to help protect information on your credit cards. Figure I will incorporate that into a wallet. I am looking forward to the project.

OMG, I love your videos, I learn so much by watching. Thank you.

Wow I love your videos! Love billfolds as well.🙂

What a great wallet and you explain everything so clearly … thank you so much … I can’t wait to make these 🥰

Another project well done with great explanations! Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️

Great tutorial! Love the wallet. I dreamed about this all night and found this this morning! New subscriber here!

Thank you. Your videos are so easy to follow.

thank you for a very easy to follow video! I made a wallet for my Grandson and it went together perfect with your instruction..

Loved the video. So neatly and cleanly showed with full explanation!!

Hi! Very nice. Thank you.

I made some of my children's clothes when they were infants and made Barbie clothes later; it was excruciating. Now at 78, I'm again trying to learn to sew. Your videos are precise without being boring, Keep it up!

I just come across your page and I love love your tutorials u take the time to explain and show what your doing and I love that becuz I’m learning to sew and these videos help me out thank you so much for sharing ❤😊

I love this video! Your videos are amazing! My 8 y.o. grandson just watched with me & wants me to make him one with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & blue inner fabric ( for his favorite turtle)😊. I can't wait to get started.

09/06/21: Dang, Nikki, this was a FANTASTIC and well executed tutorial, just like your "Simple Wallet", and I'm gonna try my hand at making one or two. I'm a newly subscribed fan of your work! TFS.

Just found this I can make this tomorrow thanks for going step by step I will be looking for more things that you make I have subscribe to your channel

I enjoyed this tutorial very much. It took me 3 times to get it right. The accordion strip has about 1/4" left at the end and the 4 1/4 inch square doesn't match up, so I cut the square 5x5", then cut to fit. I hope this helps someone else.

OMG love it and love your teaching technique and how do I get the pattern and materials used

I like that you show how to clean up the issues

I love this wallet, and the fabric you used. It has been sometime since I've made a wallet, so I'm glad I found your video, it was a good refresher. Thank You for sharing Your Time, and Your Talent with all of us. I will be using kamsnaps, they can be added after the wallet is done, and you can use matching snap colors (to the fabric).

Very nice tutorial.Thank you. 39:19

You are a great teacher. Thank you. My 11 yr grandson has been wanting a wallet. When I made the girls a small bag, he asked what about me? It broke my heart. Your video came just in time. ❤

Thank you, this is close to what I want to make! I was at the fabric store today trying to figure out which snap closer to get. I was so lost. I even asked one of the ladies that worked there and she had no clue which one to get either. None of the ones I seen there looked like the one you have. I think I may check what Micheal's has next. What kind, in your opinion, is the best to get?

I must make this bifold right now. I am near 80 years old. I do not understand your plastic measurement how you make the slots. Can you tell me what measurement for inches or cm, please? Thank you.

Hi. I love your videos. Very detailed and so easy to follow. Do you have a wallet like this one but also have a small outside pocket for coins? I have tried this one and love it, I just made the back flap slightly higher. Came out very pretty. Thanks again.

Podrías poner las medidas?? Gracias!

If I’m using heavier fabric. Would I still interface? Thinking of twill or duck cotton for my son. Thanks. Great video

I've been wanting to make one for my hubby's Xmas gift and this is explained very well! Thank you. Did I miss what type of interface you used ??

Pattern were do i find it

Will the billfold stay folded nicely if we choose not to put a closing snap or Velcro? Just curious.

Hi Nikki, I really wanted to make this card wallet and I followed the measurements exactly but I see no where where it said to cut 4" squares and my card slots are 4-1/2" and are too close when I put it together to close it. What am I missing here? I have the card slots all sewed and I cut the lining 5x9" like it said to do. Please let me hear back from you so I can fix this. Thank you, Pat

Linda a carteira só faltaram as medidas e as legendas de tradução, que pena, o conteúdo parece bom

Nikki, do you have a scrunchy tutorial? TIA 💛

good morning. what interfacing did you use?

Would this be an ideal billfold for a little boy? Or could you do a video for a simple billfold for a little boy?

What are fabric measurements. I must have not gotten that part.

I am new to your channel, watched several videos, just realized no measurement's on at least the first piece of fabric. Do you include measurements if so where, are your measurements listed? Want to make for a gift today. Going to look for measurements on different channel. Will try again because I like what you. Let me known where to find measurements thank you

So my husband likes a trifold wallet, could you help me with that?

Why do you not give measurements with this wallet as would like to sew this wallet but no measurements

How do find out the measurements of each piece

What are the measurements of the pieces ❤

Hope you had given measurements.

Gostaria de me inscrever.

Great project😃 For a guy are you saying the tabs closure is not for a man wallet🤔 what brother machine you are using🤔 I am going to pick a fabric for men, make these for gifts

What are the measurements?

Not sure why I'm not seeing measurements.

Sizes are not mentioned

How come the wallet is bulky at the sides
