I first found and used these instructions 18 months ago to sew the cash wallet for my husband and I to use ... and it has worked out (and held up) beautifully! I went with 8 pockets and labeled them by punching little index tabs out of heavy-duty cardstock and stapling them through the back panel of each envelope. Now I'm sewing one for my stepdaughter to use at college. Thank you so very much for this project!Angie Keyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972283501197091001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278827616744890761.post-51398315145432313722018-01-04T14:57:19.519-08:002018-01-04T14:57:19.519-08:00I didnt think I could do this cash wallet, but I d...I didnt think I could do this cash wallet, but I did!

So I ended up with a double stitch along the edge of the zipper. It helped keep the money from catching on the zipper when pulling it out. I'm also a top-stitching nut so I top-stitched all the envelopes. Weird, I know. I couldn't find any laminated fabric or iron-on vinyl. Where do you get it? I used duck cloth instead and it seems sturdy enough.

I've been hunting for a nice wallet to store almost all of my plastic cards (non-id). To help keep things ordered, sort the cards by type and have them stored in its own pocket. Each pocket has enough slots to bold the cards to reduce bulk. If you used different course zippers you'd know each pocket's contents.Dianehttp://www.pinterest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278827616744890761.post-1701001752984744172015-06-01T14:05:46.392-07:002015-06-01T14:05:46.392-07:00Heather, I didn't see a place to put driver...Heather, I didn't see a place to put driver's license, debit cards and other IDs. I am going to attempt to make this using some zippered pencil cases I got at the dollar store. Somehow I'll figure out how to incorporate them into the wallet. But i wanted a place to put my license, debit card, my husband's state ID and VA ID (I homecare him) and maybe my checkbook. I guess I could keep my checkbook separate. Any ideas on that??? The zippered pencil cases are 3-1/4 (not counting the zipper) by 8-1/2. I have some material from an outside umbrella (sort of like canvas) in the color red. The pencil cases are wild colors, reds greens yellow blue purple orange. So the red should look good. I appreciate your advice. Thanks for the tutorial.

It would add rigidity to the pockets, but I think you can get away without in for this project. I am about to follow this tutorial myself and don't intend to use interfacing. The only time I ever use interfacing is when I know structural integrity is crucial, for example in a collar on a shirt. I realize your post is quite old, but I'm answering for you or any others who might have the same question <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278827616744890761.post-7838115013273911912015-05-29T21:03:08.264-07:002015-05-29T21:03:08.264-07:00This is genuinely an amazing tutorial, all tutoria...This is genuinely an amazing tutorial, all tutorials should be like this.

I, too, am following Dave Ramsey's advice, since I am getting ready to retire and I will not have as much money coming in. So I want to be very careful with my money--starting immediately (a couple of months before I retire). Your instructions were easy to follow and it turned out perfect! I am very grateful for your instructions and the pictures to go with them.

I'm a beginner/intermediate sewer and all I could think of was to give the pockets more stability and last longer.<br />I'm planning to make this project out of a nursing cover I have and no longer use (beautiful oriental print) and I wanted to know if the interfacing was optional. Trying to keep this as cost effective as possible to only use things I have in the house or as little cost as possible. I'm really excited to start trying it!

My husband and I just started Daves plan ;) and I was wondering what we would do about the envelopes because having a huge file folder or loose envelopes floating around would not work they would either get lost in the diaper bag or what not... also i love that I will be able to customize this... thinking it would be fun to make this out of my husbands old ACU Army pants... Id love to figure out a way to make see-through slots for my license and military ID though maybe clear vinyl? im a new "sewer" so this should get interesting but your tutorial was one of the best sewing ones i have come across! i wish i could make my ACU material laminated you don't know of a way to do that do you?
