First things first, you cannot make this wallet without first purchasing the NCW pattern by Emmaline Bags. I am not affiliated in anyway and get no kickbacks, I have just used this pattern often and have used it as the basis for this wallet. So, you will need the pattern to understand what on earth I am doing! I also suggest that you have made at least one NCW as per the pattern instructions. This will help you understand what I am changing and which parts of the original pattern you will still need to use (to make the cards slots and the zippered pocket etc). I also use the original pattern exterior to create the adapted exterior for this version.
Step 1: Make up card pockets and coin pocket/divider as per original pattern instructions. Set aside.
Step 2: Take 20 inch zip and sandwich the zip tape edge between 2 strips of fabric RST (right sides together). Sew ¼ inch from edge. Fold both pieces out, press and topstitch. Repeat for other side of zipper tape. Zip and gusset will now measure approx. 2 inch across. Trim back to 1.5 inch (in my case I took ¼ inch off each gusset). Place aside for later.
Want one but don't want to make one yourself? Custom request one via my Etsy store, I would love to make one up for you!
Have a blessed day x
