I love this wallet. The pattern guide you through each step, from cutting out to finishing off. There are so many pockets and slots for notes, coins, cards “mad money” receipts and even a phone!

I tested this wallet and love it! I used mine for a few years before recently making another Brandt’s Blvd. wallet (another ChrisW Design wallet). I made my Pick A Pocket with 2 zippered pockets instead of more credit card pockets. I don’t carry many credit cards, so the 2 zippered pockets worked much better for me. So you see you have choices when making this wallet to suit how you would use it.
Great instructions and clear photos too make this wallet easy to make. Your phone can fit into the wallet too.

This is a great wallet pattern. Different options are available so you can customize it to your needs. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow.

Loved making this wallet. I ventured into using cork for the first time, only on the tab, which worked very well. All the pattern pieces go together so easily, and the instructions are so detailed. It was a lot quicker to make than I’d expected. Considering the number of slots and places to put things, there is very little bulk on the seams, so it is easy to sew. A very classy wallet.

I made this wallet as a birthday present for my daughter who wanted a wallet with lots of card pockets. I am an experienced sewist, but I did have some issues with this pattern. The written directions were moderately clear. However, because the photos showed fabric which looked pretty much the same front and back, at times it was frustrating to figure out.
I could not easily locate Decovil 1 (in the US). Pellon Shape-Flex SF101 was too rigid. Pellon 526 Decovil would have worked. However, I ended up using Décor Bond because it provided some stability but didn’t add bulk. My daughter is quite pleased with the wallet and its many pockets, and I am glad that I persevered to get it finished. I’m not sure, though, whether I would make one again.
