Step 8Sewing the Billfold
We're almost done! The last step is to sew the outside piece to the inside piece with pockets.
Line up the outside piece and the inside piece along one of the short sides. The outside piece should be a little longer than the inside piece--this allows the wallet to fold, even when overly stuffed. Using the same stitch settings as before sew along the short edge, about 1/8 inch from the edge.
Line up the inside and outside pieces along the other short edge. Stitch that edge like the previous one.
At this point, the outside piece should bubble somewhat from the inside piece.
Next sew along the bottom edge. You will want to leave a gap in the center, between the pockets. It's easiest to sew from the corners to a stitch or two past the pocket edges. Make sure the bottom edge seam at the pockets remains flat, not puckered. There should be a bubble or gap in the center bottom seam of the outside piece.
It's a good idea to anchor and reinforce this stitching line at the pocket edges and billfold opening. You can do this by stitching forward three or four stitches then stitching in reverse for the same number of stitches and then forward again.
Once the bottom is sewn, you're all done! Your wallet is ready to stuff, use, and enjoy.
