Super-Thin Wallet - pockets for credit cards and coins!

My daughter wanted a flat wallet that she could carry in her back pocket. It had to have two pockets for credit cards, a place for dollars and a place for loose change. (she also wanted it to have a zipper, but I had to draw the line at that. :-)

The finished wallet is 4"x3" and barely thicker than a money clip. It even has a little window for your ID card.

For this instructable I used lightweight cotton, but you will probably want something a little bit tougher.

:-)

Step 1 Materials --

Cut two rectangles, 8.5" x 5.5" You can use a half of a letter-sized sheet of paper for the measurements. (here, ORANGE is the lining)

Cut 8.5" of elastic.

Fold over and sew a .25" hem along one long side of each piece.

Fold over and sew a .25" hem along one short side of each piece. Be sure to do the opposite ends of each piece.
