Super easy. A good starter project to get children (or beginners) into sewing something.
I made this for my nephew, he was very pleased with it. And with the spending money inside too. My Mum always said it was bad luck to give an empty purse or wallet!
It requires very little fabric so can be made from left over material. The material I used is thick and durable but I would suggest using some interfacing if the material is thin to add durability.
You will need:
- 2 pieces of material 12cm x 16cm (outside and inside)
- 1 piece 18cm x 12cm (pocket)
- 1 piece 14cm x 12cm (pocket)
- Velcro spots
- Iron all the pieces flat.
- Fold the two pocket pieces in half and iron.
- Sew a quarter inch top stitch along both the folded edges, this gives a nice edge to the top of the pocket.
- Lay one of the larger pieces pattern side up, lay the larger pocket ontop so the bottom edges lines up.
- Repeat for the smaller pocket on top.
- Lay the other larger piece of fabric pattern side down, ensuring all edges are lined up.
- Sew around a quarter inch, ensuring you leave a gap near the top above where the pockets end (this will ensure you secure the pockets properly) so that you can turn it right side out.
- Turn right side out and press.
- Sew around a quarter inch again, ensuring you sew the gap shut.
- Fold the top down over the pockets so that the fold is along where the top inside pocket is. This will stop anything falling out.
- Press again. Glue on your Velcro spot. Done!
Afterthought: My fabric was quite bulky so I could have clipped the corner off to give more pointed corners.
