Introduction: Filofax Wallet DIY

About: industrial designer

I want you to show how to make simple fabric Wallet for your favorite Filofax. PS you could use this tutorial also for pencil case if you need that more.

Step 1:

For star you need your super nice and fun planner. Take off one of the page so you will see where you need to make “holes” for your wallet.

Step 2:

Materials:
- Page from your planner
- two scraps of fabric a little bit bigger then your page
- zipper
- string

Step 3:

Zig zag the edge of the fabric where you will sew the zipper on. And sew it on. (Tip: use zipper foot, or move needle position, for easy sewing).

Step 4:

Finger press the fabric and make topstitch close to the edge.

Step 5:

Move the zipper slider and sew back and fort a few times. Then cut the rest of the zipper off. Don’t on a metal part of the zipper.

Step 6:

With your page help mark where you need to make small loops or “holes” for your planer.

Step 7:

Sew the sting on the edge. Where the string is a loop (on your mark), sew it a few times back and forth, and when you finish the loop, sew it with zig zag stitch to the next loop. Repeat for all loops that you need.

Step 8:

Open the zipper and fold the fabric right side to right side. Then Make a stitch 5 mm from the edge and if you didn’t make zig zag stitch all edges before, do it now.

Step 9:

Turn the fabric over and you are done. Yey.

Step 10:

Place it in your Planner or Filofax and ask your friend if he or she need it too. It is really simple project.
