We need:
- Grey or any other color hard felt, not very thick - 1-1.2 mm;
- Cloth, leather, suede or any material of your choice for the decorative inserts;
- Zipper 15-16 cm;
- Metal clasp any convenient design;
- Seals;
- Yarn, needles, scissors;
- Iron;
- sewing machine;
- Printer for printing patterns.

Cut out all the parts along the solid lines. The dotted line marked seam lines and markings. It is desirable to transfer to the material when cutting.

Prepare the necessary materials - felt, fabric and seals.

All parts are made of felt can be cut without any additional, in addition to marked, seam allowance, in addition to the basic - the internal and external walls, on which I would recommend to leave about 1 cm allowance for the final level trim.

The duplicate cut out sidewalls parts for inner pocket with zipper, all the rest - in a single copy.

Detail of fabric cut on the inner perimeter of the frame of felt to the outside, with an allowance of 1 cm.

Seal for insertion of tissue cut in the same way, but without allowance.

To insert the tissue I used a soft seal obligatory on the basis of the adhesive.
Glue to seal iron-on fabric inserts:

Now combine the insertion of fabric felt frame

Now you can stitch the perimeter.

Now it was the turn of the second seal. This is a special seal for bags, thin, but very hard. At the touch of the upper side of the adhesive does not like a tight skin.

Cut out the seal on a couple of millimeters smaller frame felt - that it is not protruding from the seam.

Glue iron.

Now we proceed to the design of the inside of the wallet. Let's start with the pockets. First pave decorative stitches on the upper sides (wherever there is a semi-circular cut-outs) of all parts of pockets and side parts.

We combine the details of the pockets in accordance with the scheme on the pattern.

And consistently sew them to each other to form a two-piece unit with pockets.

Tries on the blocks to the main details of the inside of the wallet. Focus on the layout, it will to make it exactly.

Sew.

The internal part is ready, let us zip pocket.

We combine the first zipper with one of the two parts and tack.

Then, without cutting the thread, on the other hand put a second part, also combining it with the zip and tack on the second circle in two parts at once.

This is on the outside:

And this is - on the inside:

Trim the ends of zippers. Stitched by each other two parts of pockets on the perimeter and inside the trimmed along the seam.

It now remains to be folded in half pocket and put another line:

Now combine with the side panels.

Most of the work has already been done, it is necessary to connect all units details and set the lock:

We combine the inner and outer sides of wallet:

Now, we pay special attention to the marks on the seam line - stitched by the perimeter, not closing it in the places designated by the marks! In the photo shows where you need to leave the unclosed edge:
