- In this video I'll be showing you how I switched the pattern up a bit to make my card slots out of waterproof canvas. By doing this, you don't have to use interfacing because the canvas is thick. I LOVE the NCW but hate the card slot part of it. Pros are: less prep work (you don't have to cut out interfacing or adhere it to your fabric), you don't have to use interfacing which is an added cost. Cons are: custom wallets (if you are making a custom wallet, you can't find waterproof canvas in lots of prints. So you wouldn't be able to make the card slots out of a custom print. They would be a solid color) Although, www.fabricwholesaledirect.com does have some waterproof canvas in prints. Just not a lot to choose from. My suggestion for custom wallets would be to make the exterior flap out of your custom print and interface that part only. Then continue with vinyl on your exterior body and waterproof canvas for the inside.
Dimensions for the card slots:
Use two of the card slot backing piece that comes with the pattern
Card slot #1 is 8 x 8
Card slot #2 is 7 x 8
Card slot #3 is 6 x 8
Waterproof canvas can be purchased from Amazon or at Fabric Wholesale Direct www.fwd.com.
The vinyl I used in the video was from Walmart.
Hardware was from Lauren over at www.moremekow.com
My machine is a Juki du1181n. I would recommend purchasing it from www.sunny-sewing-machines.mysh...

Ren, I'm about to make an NCW for the first time in a couple of years, so I watched a few of your videos for a refresher. Thank you so much for your genius hacks. I miss your videos so much. I used to watch them immediately after you posted them. Please consider doing some more in the future. By the way, because of you, I figured out how to do the card slots using my embroidery machine.....nice straight lines! Yayyyyyy!!!
Hello. I'm about to make my 1st NCW. The card slots are intimidating. I am very interested in how you make the slots using an embroidery machine.
I made your card slot method and it tuned out beautifully! ❤ Thank you so much! Using waterproof canvas makes it even better!
Thank you So so so much! I haven't made this beautiful wallet BECAUSE OF THE CARD SLOTS! NOW IM GONNA TRY!
This hack has changed my life. Thank you!!! Great video and super easy instructions!
Thank you for showing this with water proof canvas. This is a great help and also to save time and to keep from having to use the long slot measuring that I could never get right. Thanks again
I could never get it right either. It’s comes out perfect every time this way.
That’s Genius. The bulk just vanishes. I feel like making one now just so I can try it.
Game changer!!! I am the same way with the folding. This is huge, thanks so much!!!!
Thank you for this video. You explain things where I can understand.
Wow! Oh I’m gonna try this.
that's just amazing! what a great idea.. I struggled to make those pockets.. well done thanks for the tip
Serenity I just did your method. I love it!!! thank you for sharing. so much easier. i had so many issues with the shape before. great tip. thank you again. love your channel your doing a good job x
You’re welcome! The shape is so nice isn’t it?! You don’t have to trim it down or anything. Best hack ever imo. Lol I’ll be sure to share any new tricks I find in the future as well!
You saved a wallet this week! I always cut my fabric crooked, lol, but the wpc card slots are the best!! Thanks Serenity! ❤️
Awesome! I’m glad it worked for you!
Awesome suggestion.
Genius ideas. I believe you must have an engineering background. so so simple!!!! yay
So wonderful ! Can have waterproof canvas without the bulk :) I struggle cutting bolts of interfacing . I will try this for sure . Thank you
I love interfacing and why we use it. But I don’t like having to actually go through the steps to use it lol I’m glad I tried the waterproof canvas. It takes the extra steps out and I can make my wallets a lot quicker.
Thank you so much for sharing. I've been holding off making the NCW because I really wanted to use the WPC for the interior, but was afraid of the potential bulk. Now I know what I'll be doing this coming Sunday afternoon! Also love that you pay attention to the sewing detail and don't try to sew at 1000mph. I'm a little too OCD. Thanks again!
I say go for it! I love the structure the wpc gives the wallet without all of that measuring and folding them trimming. Lol. It’s my favorite wallet pattern and this method makes it even better. Have fun Sunday! You’re gonna love it!
Thank you! You are a genius!
I sure like the way you do those card slots.
Thanks. Makes a big difference doesn’t it?
Omg finally , I’ve struggled so much with the long sheets! This is genius thank you , thank you
Me too! This is such a big game changer for this wallet! The come together so much quicker now and easier!!!!
Ren Puffinberger most definitely! I’ve enjoyed watching your video tips
Me too.. just find this video.. it would make life much easier
That is great
What kind of chalk pennis that? Thanks in advance. I love this card slot method!
bonjour je viens de m'abonner et j'adore votre façon de faire et vos explications merci elles sont très claires comment je peu avoir le patron de ce porte feuille merci
oh I like this way Ren, great ideal a lot easier than measuring out and folding making usre its all straight, but does it add bulk to the slots ? I would like to see a double zipper pocket for this, could you please do one of those thanks
Actually it doesn’t add bulk at all. That’s why I like it. Your not using interfacing, so the little bit of bulk helps it to be sturdy. I’ve never done the double zipper. I’ll give it a try and make a video when I’ve figured it out lol
@@renpuffinberger6664 thankyou Ren
I know it has been awhile since you made this video, but can you do this wallet at 125% and figure out how the card slots would be done . I'm doing a swap and can not for the life of me figure it out unless i fan fold. Thank you in advance
Enjoyed the video and I like the idea of no interfacing. Also, where did you get your table/sewing cabinet? I have a Bernina machine and would like for it to be flush with table top.
Thank you! I bought my Juki machine from Gold Star Tool. There is also a place in Chicago that sells them. I’ve heard a a lot of mixed reviews about Gold Star. But personally I didn’t have any problems with them. I think the place in Chicago’s called Steve’s Sewing Machines. I could be wrong. My husband went there without me to surprise me with it for Chrismas last year so I didn’t actually see the place but he said we’d definitely go back if I needed any other machines. I’ll ask my husband what the name is and get back with you.
Thank you…I’m anxiously awaiting. By the way, I made the NCW going by your video and I’ve completed it except for the rivets…I’m waiting on my press. I took it nice and slow and used my cotton material cause I had to make it one time before I use my vinyl and waterproof canvas. I’ll post a pic when it’s finished.
Goldblatt sewing machines in Chicago is where my husband went. Said the guy was very nice and helpful. He highly recommends the place.
I’m excited to see your finished project! Glad it went good for you.
Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.
Do you have a card hack for the xxl? I finished my ncw and Omg so much easier to do the card slots your way!
I do not. Yet. But I’m thinking of making the xxl this week. I’ll see what I can do.
I watched your video today about the uninterfaced NCW. When you were doing the flap - did you use the template or did you change it? It looked bigger than the template. Also, which side of the waterproof canvas is the right side?
Hey there. I add an inch to my flaps when I make them. They snap a little looser this way and gives me more room for my stuff. Lol. The right side of the waterproof canvas is the fabric feeling side. The wrong side is the rubbery feeling side.
Any chance you know the measurements to do this in a mini with vertical card slots?
Sorry. I don’t
How do I tell the right side vs the wrong side of WPC? Thanks!
@@jenniebrandon2708 Thank you!
Thank you for answering for me. 🥰
I notice you have an industrial machine. Is this method domestic machine friendly? I have the Juki semi industrial Tl 2010Q.
My domestic sews through waterproof canvas with no problem and vinyl with my Teflon foot attached. The only issues I have are sewing the guts in at the end. That’s a lot of layers to sew through. The walking foot does help. I’ve never used the Juki TI 2010Q so I cant say if it’ll work or not. My opinion would be to just give it a go and see what happens. Good luck!
I made mine on my juki 2010 and it handled it just fine
Have you done this for the mini? If so what are the measurements for that one?
Yes I have. I did a video on it and the dimensions are in the description box below it. I also mention them during the video as well. Here’s the link czcams.com/video/gpjKRGCC03s/video.html.
Ren Puffinberger thank you!! You’re the best! This makes its SO MUCH easier to make.
You’re welcome! Feel free to refer others to my channel so they can learn this new trick also. It makes sewing these wallets so much nicer!! If you have any other questions just ask!!
Do you steam the canvas after you turn correct?
Yes
Can you tell me what denier WPC you use for card slots please?
The Ottertex® waterproof canvas fabric is 61/62” wide, 100% polyester and approximately 0.55 mm thick.
I copy and pasted that from www.fabricwholesaledirect.com website under their waterproof canvas description. That’s where I purchase mine from. I’ve also bought some from Walmart. It isn’t as thick but works just the same in my opinion.
@@renpuffinberger6664 Thank you for that. Unfortunately I won’t be ordering from Walmart as I am in the Uk so I will be shopping around for an equivalent. Love your videos. Very clear and precise. xx
@@trishcodown6834 Amazon sells it at a good price, if this helps
@@Sueblueify Thank you. I will try Amazon UK although I imagine you are suggesting Amazon.com. Take care
I am trying to be adventurous and make the xl at 125 percent. Would I just multiply your slot piece measurements by 125 percent to get the new amount to add to the dimensions? I cannot wait to try this!
Hmm I’m not positive. I haven’t done that size yet. If I get a chance to, I’ll be sure to post the dimensions. Sorry. I’m not to helpful at the moment.
I would assume you would multiply it like you said. Give it a try with computer paper first and fold like you would the wpc. See what happens. 🤷🏻♀️. Worth a try.
cant find part two
Yup sorry. It hasn’t finished loading yet. Stupid WiFi 😂
Part 2 is uploaded now!
