Portable MD Wallet Project

[cwall1108]

Good evening. I've been working on a way besides tea tins for easily transporting discs and I thought I'd share my results. Basically, this is a 4x2 disc wallet project with some easy sewing, a 19x15.5" bit of sturdy material and a sewing machine, standard sewing materials (measuring, scissors), an iron and 1/2 an hour to an hour.

The end result is a wallet that can be folded various ways - primarily left and right "wings" in, and then in half again across the wider crease. If you want to fold again along the wide horizontal bit you can do so as well.

First: The open view (discs are kicked out a bit to show scale):

Second: Fully folded (not my preference, I just like the 3 fold method)

Detail: Inline remote/spare battery pocket:

Instructions:

I've attached a PDF that should be accurate in inches. Once you measure a 19x15.5 inch bit of your cloth measure out/mark the following in inches:

Horizontal: 1, 3.5, 0.75, 3.5, 1.5, 3.5, 0.75, 3.5 and 1

Vertical: 1, 3, 3, 1.5, 3, 3, 1

Use an iron to fold the horizontal strips on the outsides in to the 1" lines you marked. Then do the same for the verticals up to the 1" line. Sew a hem across the two (19") veritcals. Then, between the two 3" segments marked vertically, make a fold and iron that as well. Sew the vertical (15.5") hems. You should have a smaller rectangle with two very large pockets that open facing one another. Then sew vertical seams that you marked from the horizontal set (i.e. at the 3.5, then 0.75, then 3.5... and so on). If you are unsure about your measuring you can always go left to right for the first two, and right to left on the second two - the middle (Disc B<--> Disc C) gap is less fussy.

Here is the PDF of the pattern (of sorts).

This might not be everyone's bag (or wallet) but I figured someone besides me might have a use for it.

Enjoy!
