Free Pattern: Modern Card Holder

For those moments when you have a really small, but super cute, handbag for an evening out, but no space for your wallet, I have the perfect (less than) one hour project for you!

This quick little card holder works great for anyone looking for a compact way to carry cards, cash, or business cards. It is useful for all ages and sews up as quickly as it takes to cut the fabrics. Maybe even faster.

This pattern is a great non-woven scrap buster. With its modern angles, you can make it look coordinated with matching fabrics, or use different fabrics for all pieces and make it truly unique!

Supplies:

• Non-woven Fabrics

• Polyester Thread 

• Scissors

• Marking Tool

• Clips

Step 1: CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Main Card Slot: 3 ¾” x 2 ⅕” (Cut 2)

• Exterior Pocket: 3 ¼” x 2 ½” (Cut 1)

  Note: If using a directional fabric, note that the 3 ¾” and 3 ¼” measurement is the height of the finished project.

Step 2: MARK & CUT TRIANGLE IN EXTERIOR PIECE

• Mark center of Exterior Pocket, and then measure down ½”

• Draw a line from the ½” mark to the corners

• Cut on marked lines

Step 3: ASSEMBLE

• Clip pieces together and sew together with an ⅛” seam allowance. That’s it! You are done!

That’s it! You are all set for your evening out! 

This project is also great heading into the holidays. You can batch sew a handful of these and put gift cards in them for teachers, sewing guild members, friends - you name it!
