We sew a mini wallet in the shape of a heart
Step 1
Make a pattern. 3 details are needed: 2 identical rectangles 19x9 cm and 1 19x3.5 cm. To make it easier to sew lines, you can use patterns as templates - then it is better to make them on not too thick paper (office paper is suitable) and add line lines (on one large rectangle on 3 sides, backing 0.4 cm from the edge; on the second large - a line in the middle).
Step 2
Cut out the details (no allowances are needed).
Step 3
Put one large part face up, on top of it - a small part face up. Align the parts on the bottom and sides. Put a pattern on top with a line in the middle and pin all layers with pins. Lay the line along the line of the pattern, making the stitches at the beginning and end. Remove the paper.
Step 4
Fold the outer part of the wallet with the inner wrong sides inward. Pin the part of the pattern with the drawn stitching and sew the wallet along the intended lines (do not forget the stitching). It remains to remove the paper.
