Hello everybody, welcome to my new tutorial!
Like you know, it's time to come back to school and I am also back with new sewing tutorials and DIY
for clothes and fashion accessories. I hope you all had fabulous summer holidays and that
you're happy to be back in school. I wish you all my best for this new year and I wish a lot of good things
and success. I also wanted
to thank you for the number of views on my videos and the few comments I got. It really makes me happy and makes me want to keep doing this.
This is why I hope you'll keep watching my videos all along this new year! To start well, I decided to do a sewing tutorial to realize a wallet.
We're directly going to go back to business because this tutorial needs
the sewing machine and other accessories I'm going to introduce you to. A pair of scissor Paper for pattern and a pencil One piece of fabric A second one A metallic handle Pins
Now that we've seen all the accessories,
we will start the first part
which consists in making the pattern.
Let's do this!
To do the pattern for our wallet,
take the pattern paper,
your pencil and the metallic handle. Spread out the paper pattern on your table
and take the dimensions of the metallic handle. Put it on your paper
and mark with your pencil each extremity.
Do the exact same thing for the top of the handle.
Once it's done, you have to determine the
shape you want your wallet to have. It could be like you want it to be, you can decide! I choose to do a rounded shape.
Be careful to keep the same dimensions for the left and right side when you do the pattern.
Here is the result! Now we cut the pattern.
If you want later to realize a wallet again, I advice you to annotate your pattern with the name of the accessories its create.
Now the pattern ready, take the two pieces of fabrics you've chosen.
I chose a cotton black fabric and some tulle.
Next step : position your pattern on the first piece of fabric. Pin it
and cut around and make sure you leave
one or two centimeters between your pattern and the place you're cutting in.
Repeat the same action with your second piece of fabric.
As I choose a really thin fabric, I decide to double it
to realize the cutting. Pin it and cut around.
Now that we have our two pieces of fabric ready, we're going
to start the sewing part. Before starting, we need to pin
back to back our two pieces of fabric. Put them side by side. Here we are with our two pieces put together, side by side and back to back. We can start sewing!
Don't forget not to sew the part where the handle is going to be. It's the place where you'll be able to open your wallet. Now our two pieces of fabric are sewed together.
We can cut throughout the sewing to get rid off the extra fabric. Be careful not to cut to close to the sewing, it could break otherwise.
Now we have to start the most delicate part
of this tutorial : assemble
the handle with your fabrics. There are
little holes throughout the handle. You'll have to sew one part of the handle with one part of the fabric and the other part of the handle with
the second piece of fabric. You'll have to make the wire go simultaneously
through the holes and your fabric.
Take your thread and
the thinner needle you've got and we can start! As a reminder, don't forget you've sewed the fabrics
back to back so you have to return them
to their fronts. Now the first part done,
you can start the second one. A bit of patience, and it will be over!
Once both of the fabrics sewed with the handle, make sure no thread is exceeding and your wallet is ready! Here is the result you were all waiting for!
This tutorial is more complicated than the other one (the bow tie or the neckband). The most difficult part is the last one, where you have
to sew the handle to the fabric. It's a delicate part where you have to be very patient.
Don't get angry if
you can't get through it the first time. You can always doing it at another time when you'll be calm down.
If you have any questions,
you can leave me a comment. You can also suggest ideas
for next tutorials or DIY. About the sewing machine, if you have any doubt, you can always check out again my first tutorial
which explains how to use it. It was a pleasure to be back with you. I hope you enjoyed this video. I see you very soon, bye!
