Making men's wallet is easy. This project is a simple wallet with one pocket for cash only.

We start off by collecting the materials:
Picture
1) 2 piece of vinyl material. One 7-1/2" x 3-1/2" and one 7" x 3".


That's all you need, just vinyl or leatherette or leather. All are magnificent.

Start sewing with:
Picture
1) Sew 1/4" at one side of the bigger vinyl.

2) Determine the center.

3) Between the center, remove a 1/2" x 2mm.

Which will look like a chimp at the bottom of the bigger vinyl (picture).

4) Lay the second vinyl on top of the other one. Notice how the smaller vinyl is not centered. Move it further to the right. Leaving a quarter inch for stitches later on.

5) Sew the right bottom part of the big vinyl over the smaller vinyl.

6) Likewise pull the smaller vinyl to the left, use some clumps. Leave a quarter inch space, do not cover the bigger vinyl. Then sew the left bottom of the bigger vinyl over the smaller vinyl.

7) Procedure 4-6 created a small hole at the center of the wallet.

8) Sew the sides of the wallet. The bigger vinyl sewn over the smaller vinyl.

I have a bag for folders that I disintegrated to integrate some of its parts into my projects. I found a part of it and we are going to use it to make a sturdy little coin purse.

We will need:
Picture
1) A vinyl cut into 5" x 5".

2) 5" long zipper and its slide.


You can see how easy it is. We only need two things.

We start by:
Picture
1) Sew the zipper at opposite ends of the vinyl.

2) Put the zipper slide.

Picture
3) Turn it to its wrong side and sew the sides.

No sweat. If you reverse the coin purse, we have the finish product  looking expensive and durable.
