Sparkle Stitches~ Magic Wallet

Hooray this post took a few days to edit and write! But it is done now (hopefully)!
This post is already ridiculously long so I won't say much here ^0^ but if there are any steps that are unclear or if you have any questions, please comment below and I will do my best to explain!

這篇寫了好幾天! 終於寫完了! (倒
有哪裡不清楚的話請直接問我會盡量解釋(sorry中文有點寫的不是很順)

Wallet!


First decide on your finished wallet dimensions.
Width=W+1/2" (for quarter-inch binding)
Length=L+1/2" (for quarter-inch binding)

皮夾的尺寸要先決定好,再用來畫版型。
寬度=W+半吋(包2分寬布邊)
長度=L+半吋 (包2分寬布邊)

1)
First piece is Fashion Fabric (FF). Width:2W Right Length:L Left Length:2L
Next is the Lining 1 (L1). Same dimensions as FF,flipped.
Third is the Reverse Lining (RL). Same dimensions as FF.
Last is Lining 2 (L2). Width:2W Length:L

第一塊布是表面布Fashion Fabric (FF)。 寬度:2W 右邊長度:L 左邊長度:2L
旁邊是裡布Lining 1(L1)。 尺寸和FF一樣,反過來
接下來是反面裡布Reverse Lining(RL)。 尺寸和FF一樣
最後一塊是裡布2(L2)。 寬度:2W 長度:L

Pocket 1(P1) Width:2W Length:2(L-1/2")
Pocket 2(P2) Width:2W Length:P1Length-1"
Pocket 3(P3) Width:2W Left Length:P2Length-1" Right Length:Left Length+L

口袋一 Pocket 1(P1) 寬度:2W 長度:2(L-半吋)
口袋二 Pocket 2(P2) 寬度:2W 長度:P1長度-1吋
口袋三 Pocket 3(P3) 寬度:2W 左邊長度: P2-1吋 右邊長度: 左邊長度+L

2)
Fold each pocket piece in half lengthwise, press, and stitch 1/8" from folded edge
In the photo P3 has been flipped to show the backside

口袋布料折一半,燙平,離折邊一分縫一條線
圖裡的P3翻過來讓各位看後面該長什麼樣~

3)
Align the bottom edges of P1 and L2 (P1 is slightly shorter than L2)
Measure 2" down from the top of P1 and stitch
把P1和L2下擺對好(P1比L2短一點)
從P1的開口網下量兩英吋,縫一條直線

4)
Align the bottom edges of P2 and P1, measure 2" down from P2, and stitch
P2和P1下擺對好,從P2開口往下量兩英吋縫死
Photobucket

Flip up the raw edge of P2 and trim the seam allowance from P1 to reduce bulk
把P2的下半部網上折,將P1多出來的縫分剪掉

(I accidentally attached RL already so disregard that...)
(我不小心把RL先縫上去了。。。)

5)
Same thing with P3, align, measure 2", stitch, trim P2 seam allowance
P3一樣對好,量2英吋,縫完把P2的縫分剪掉
Photobucket

6)
Stitch a straight line down the center to split the pockets into two halves
在中間縫一條直線把口袋分成兩半
Photobucket

7)
Align top edges of L2 with RL right sides together, stitch, flip to right side, and topstitch
L2和RL面對面,上方縫死,翻到對面再縫一次
Photobucket

8)
Line up FF with L1 and pin. On the little rectangle at the bottom, draw a rectangle measuring the length and width of your zipper. At each end, draw a little triangle (like the photo)
FF和L1裡面對裡面用大頭針固定。 在下面的小方形上畫出拉鏈的長度和寬度。 頭尾畫個小三角型(如圖)
Photobucket

9)
Cut along the inner lines and press seam allowances to the inside
沿著中間的線剪開,把縫分網裡邊燙扁

Inside/裡面

10)
Sandwich the zipper between FF and L1 and stitch all around
拉鍊夾在FF和L1中間縫
Photobucket

11)
Align FF/L1 with the pocket piece(RL/L2/P1-3)and pin
FF/L1和口袋(RL/L2/P1-3)對好用大頭真固定。

Outer/正面
Photobucket
Inner/裡面

12)
Bind all around with bias tape (The one I used was a bit too narrow; I suggest using bias tape that is at least a quarter inch wide when folded)
Create a small snap button tab to keep the wallet secured when folded
用斜邊布把外邊全包起來(我用的斜邊布有點太宰,折起來最少2分寬的比較好)
做個小扣子讓皮夾能合起來扣注

Inside/裡面

How to Use/使用方法:

Stick your bills and coins into the inner pocket and fold as shown. The coins will fall into the change pocket at the bottom and can be retrieved via the outside zipper
將鈔票和銅板丟進皮夾後折起來。 銅板會自動掉進靈前口袋裡,能用外面的拉鏈來拿錢

Pockets for your cards!口袋!

I hope this was helpful (or at the very least, interesting)
It took me a long time to figure out the schematics of this design and also to write this tutorial ^^; For extra strength, you can interface the layers.

If there is interest, I can also custom-make these wallets for you!
