In The Hoop Wallet
This easy to create wallet is done in two hoop-
ings and is created entirely in the hoop. The on-
ly bit of stitching to do is to close the opening
which is used to turn the wallet right side out
and to sew on a press stud fastener.
This finished measurements of this wallet when
closed is 5 6/8 inch wide and 3 3/4 inches high.
There is a card holder on the left side that holds
4 loyalty or bank cards and a pocket on the right
side for bank notes.
The outer fabric of the wallet is embroidered.
Use colors of your choice. The wallet outside is
made using a light faux suede fabric and the
inner is made using quilters cotton.
Done for the 6” x 10” hoop

Load the fabric pattern onto your embroidery machine. Hoop
a layer of cutaway stabilizer.
Cute a piece of faux suede approx. 8” x 14”. Spray the stabi-
lizer with the Madeira temporary adhesive spray. Place the
faux suede onto the stabilizer and smooth into place.
Position your design to fit the fabric if you are using a larger
hoop. Trace the design to be sure the embroidery will fit on-
to the fabric leaving some fabric around the design. When
you are satisfied, stitch the design.
Trim off excess fabric and stabilizer from the design leaving
a half inch around the design.

Load the wallet design onto your embroidery machine. Hoop a
layer of cut away stabilizer.
Use one color throughout the design. I used a dark color for
the next step so it would show on the photo. Otherwise, I used
white thread throughout the rest of the design.
Stitch the first color change onto the stabilizer. This is a die
line for the placement of the quilters cotton.
Spray the stabilizer with Madeira temporary adhesive spray.
Cut a piece of quilters cotton 8”x12” and place it over the die
line. Smooth into place.
Stitch the next 2 color changes. These will hold the quilters
cotton into place as well as mark where to place the pocket.
Cut a piece of quilters cotton 7” x 6 1/2”
Fold it in half so you have a piece that measures 3 1/2” x 6
1/2”. Press the fold flat. I used a steam iron for this as I wanted
a really neat edge.

Place the pocket onto the die pocket die line. The open side of
the pocket must sit on the die line. Use a little Madeira spray if
necessary to hold the pocket in place.
Stitch the next color change. This will hold the pocket in
place.
Stitch the next color change. This will be the decorative satin
stitch edge that finishes the open edges of the pocket.
Now for the card holder. Cut a piece of quilters cotton 4 1/2” x
20 1/2”
Using a fabric marker, mark the following measurements:
3 1/2”, 1 1/2”, 2 1/2”, 1 1/2”, 2 1/2”, 1 1/2”, 2 1/2”, 1 1/2”,
3 1/2”
Fold the fabric along these markings to create pleats.
This creates the card holder. Press all the folds in place using a
steam iron.

Stitch the next color change. This is the die line for the card
holder. Spray the die line area with Madeira temporary adhe-
sive spray. Place the folded fabric onto the die line and smooth
into place.
Stitch the next color change. This will hold the card holder in
place. You may need to trim the fabric for the card holder
where the white decorative satin stitch is.
Stitch the next color. This adds the second decorative satin
stitch. This one finished off the edge for the card holder.
Now place the embroidered fabric piece onto the wallet design
in the hoop. Wrong side of the embroidered fabric piece facing
up. I used a light spray of Madeira spray to hold it in place. Be
sure to match up the embroidered fabric with the wallet stitch-
ing line.
Stitch the last color change.
Trim the excess fabric from around the design leaving 1/2”
seam. Snip the seam allowances on the curved parts f the de-
sign and the corners being careful not to cut the stitching.

Turn the wallet right side out through the opening. Sew the
opening closed with a bit of whip stitch. Fold the wallet. Final-
ly, sew on a fastener such as a press stud.
