Craft a compact and elegant zip-around wallet that blends style with utility. This mini wallet, known as “Stella,” is small enough to slip into a pocket or clutch, yet thoughtfully designed to hold everything you need. With dimensions of approximately 11.5 cm × 9 cm (4½" × 3½"), it fits easily into most bags, making it ideal for daily use, travel, or special occasions.
Inside, the Stella wallet features a clever, efficient layout: six card slots, a bill pocket, and a coin pocket that can be finished with a zip or flap option depending on your preference. The exterior has multiple styles, giving you freedom to mix fabrics, textures, and accents to suit your aesthetic. Closure is secured with a zipper around the edges, ensuring your essentials stay safe and secure.
This is a digital pattern by PiiiepsDesigns delivered in PDF format, with instructions in English. It includes detailed, photo-illustrated steps (over 190 images) to guide you through each phase of constructing the wallet—cutting, interfacing, assembly, and finishing. Measurements are provided in both centimeters and inches, and the pattern is sized for printing on A4, A3, or US Letter paper.
While the project is rated intermediate (4 out of 5 difficulty), even dedicated, confident, beginners can succeed by following each step carefully. Whether you’re sewing a special gift or adding products to your handmade shop lineup, the Stella wallet is a refined, versatile sewing project with a polished end result.
