kids bifold wallet project - Simple and easy

Kids bifold wallet project by yoansewingstudio
I can't never share enough of wallet projects indeed :).  I've been wanting to make a simple wallet for my son to be his first wallet. I managed to create one for him (the one with blue rocket/space fabric - leftover from making his quilt few years ago).
​I like the outcome so much,  then I thought why not make another one (the pink one with button snap closure to add variation to this pattern). Although these wallets are labeled for "kids", they can be made for adult too, especially if you like minimalistic wallet style.

Small bifold wallet project by Yoan Sewing Studio
Here's a lovely little wallet project for you to sew. This small bifold wallet, is a basic, minimalistic wallet, yet very functional with enough compartments to keep your cash, cards, some coins, parking ticket, etc.
I created men's version and women's version for the fun of it. The constructions are literally the same, only differences are the fabric choice, and the  additional button flap closure for the women's version. Although both designs are quite unisex, so choose as you please :).
 
Finished wallet measurements 4" x 4" (10.2 x 10.2 cm)

Features : 
3 card slots
1 zipper Pocket
1 cash slot
2 additional compartments
Button flap closure (if opt one)

The finished measurements of this pouch are approximately 4.5" x 8" , the zipper closure opening measures 4" wide, I can fit my iPhone XR (with chunky casing that makes the phone bigger) with a little extra room.
