To make room in the flap to accommodate the new width required for the envelopes, you will also add 1/2″ to the pattern between the top of the card slots (I know the picture shows 1″, but I found that to be too much so I lessened it to 1/2″ and that seems good – feel free to play with this!). To add some room for sewing then envelopes in place, add about 1/4″ to to the bottom of this piece. Tape the card slots in place and make a copy of the patter piece all folded up. Make a New Pattern Piece A: The first thing to do is to take pattern piece A (the pattern piece for the inside flap and card slots) and fold it all up along the lines.

#CASH ENVELOPE WALLET DIY TRIAL#
After a lot of trial and error, I’m here to share my process from start to finish.
Since most people living on a cash budget don’t generally have use for very many card slots, I decided to put card slots on only one side and use the other side of the wallet for a coin purse. The Flosstyle EZ Wrap wallet already has a TON of options built into the pattern, but to convert it to a Cash Envelope Wallet, I decided to make some additions and omissions. Just about that time, the EZ Wrap Wallet pattern was released and I knew it would be the perfect starting point for creating a Cash Envelope Wallet. The wallet pattern I was primarily using to create wallets wasn’t conducive to holding the envelopes without obstructing their use, so I had to figure something else out. Cash Envelope Wallets make it easier to carry your funds around while not confusing what budget category each dollar belongs to!
Many who try to live on a cash budget separate out their paychecks into to real (or virtual) envelopes to make sure they only spend what they have available. I’ve been making wallets for about two and a half years and after posting a few on Instagram, a friend made a request for a Cash System Wallet. Hi Sewing & Crafty Friends – I’m Jaime from.
