SEAFORD Sewing Wallet – Beginner Sewing Pattern

Keep your needles and pins safe, tidy and easy to find with the SEAFORD Sewing Wallet Sewing Pattern. Instead of loose needles rattling around the bottom of your sewing box, this handy little wallet holds everything neatly between two soft felt "pages" — ready and waiting for your next project.

Fusible fleece interfacing gives the wallet a lovely soft, padded feel, and because you choose the fabrics yourself, it's a quick make that looks as good as it is useful. A thoughtful handmade gift for anyone who sews.

What You Will Learn / Techniques

  • Working with Fusible Fleece: Iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the lining for a soft, padded finish.
  • Turning Through a Gap: Sew outer and lining right sides together leaving a 10cm gap, snip the corners, then turn through and press.
  • Finding the Centre Line: Fold the wallet in half and press a sharp crease to form the spine.
  • Positioning the Felt Pages: Finger-press the felt (rather than ironing it), line up the creases and space the pages evenly.
  • Sewing and Finishing: Stitch along the centre line to secure the pages, then topstitch all the way around the outer edge — which closes the turning gap and gives a neat finish.
