PLEASE NOTE: Since this pattern is a digital download, once an order has been placed, it cannot be refunded.
The following pattern contains the instructions to “add-on” a zippered accordion coin pocket to most wallet patterns. This is not a full wallet pattern, and can only be added to a wallet that is being constructed and cannot be added to a finished wallet.
There are two zipper sizes available, one for a standard wallet - 6” wide, and one for a mini version - 3½” wide.
The instructions in this pattern are written for leather, vinyl, and cork, and not recommended for fabric as there is edge painting, and fabric may still fray after painted.
The skill level is listed as Experienced Beginner
