Finding the perfect free wallet pattern is the best way to start your Mother’s Day sewing, especially since moms love bags, pouches, and totes just as much as we love making them. You love quilting and sewing love into every stitch, and I love designing patterns—do you see where this is going? Now that we’re all here together, I think it’s time to make a beautiful handmade gift for every mom you know!
Mother’s Day is just around the corner—but you still have plenty of time to pick out some crisp floral fabrics and make the bag of her dreams. These wallet patterns are my absolute favorite scrap-busters for a quick project and a truly professional finish.

I’ve picked designs that look beautiful in the bright, high-energy prints I’m currently loving, but I’d love to see your version.

The Perfect DIY
Sew the Perfect DIY Wallet as the ultimate lifestyle accessory for mom. The interior of this wallet sewing pattern has 8 card slots (facing the center of the wallet so your cards won’t fall out), a zippered coin pocket, plus two pockets big enough for flat bills or a cell phone. There is also a vinyl pocket (with a snap) that is the right size for a phone or small notebook with paper.
Pro-Tip: Repurpose
You can use vinyl from household packaging instead of purchasing vinyl fabric for an economical/upcycle approach.
