Jeans Wallet

It is a commonly thought of opinion that men are harder to buy for. I, too, agree with this opinion. So therefore, isn't it a lot easier to make something?
Introducing, the jeans wallet! I was inspired to make this because of my dad. He has the grungiest, old leather wallet that SMELLS.
He really needs a new wallet! This wallet was made from the leg of one of my jeans which I'd hemmed. It has six card slots, a photo slot, a coin pocket and a notes pocket. It's also small enough to fit into my hip pockets COMFORTABLY-important for men who don't carry handbags XD Finally, it's designed to look like the front hip pocket of a pair of jeans. Cool, eh?
This is what you need to do if you too want a spiffy wallet like this one :)

Step 1 You will need:

1. 1 leg ... from a pair of jeans. That was all I needed, but the jeans that I used were quite wide. You could also just use new denim, but I'm unsure of how much is required for that.
2. Hard-ish plastic (any colour) and transparent, soft plastic. I didn't purchase this either, I just cut up my old school diaries. You don't need too much, no more than 10cmx15cm.
3. A regular sized membership card/gift card/credit card type thing for reference.
4. 9cm of a 2.5cm strip of velcro, also known as a hook-and-loop fastener.
5. Basic sewing equip, i.e. sewing needle/sewing machine, thread, fabric scissors, pins.

I also drew up a paper pattern for reference, but that shouldn't be necessary for you. :)

I love the way the finished product looks. Handsewing is the best. :)

Thanks :D I, too, prefer hand sewing. I definitely get more control that way. Unfortunately though, I'm restricted to the scale of projects I can do because I can only hand sew ):
