Greenbacks Wallet Trio Pattern *

The Greenbacks Wallet Trio is a pattern that has three separate wallet patterns in the same pattern with three different skill levels! Build your experience level with different techniques, or choose your favorite wallet and start with that! This wallet  pattern has the following features:

• Wallet #1 features 4 credit card slots on the front, and a back zippered enclosure, which is great for holding your cash and credit cards. Grab and go convenience!
• Wallet #2 is a great carry-all wallet with a wrist strap and front closure. If you flip the wallet over to the back, there is a handy pocket secured in place with a snap that will fit many cell phone sizes. Open the wallet up, and inside is a divider space with room for credit cards on one half, and cash and receipts on the other half.
• Wallet #3 has a zip closure, and bias binding on the outer edges of the wallet. The showcase of this wallet is the accordion divider on the inside, which has a zippered pouch divider, and credit card and cash slots on each end. The wallet does not open flat, which will safely keep all your valuables contained inside. Hand sewing is involved to attach the binding to the edge of the wallet (I sewed my entire binding, front and back, by hand, although some areas are possible to sew on your machine). Very functional, and just as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside!
