Shuffle Card Holder – Love You Sew

For my Newsletter subscribers, the Shuffle Card Holder isn’t a new pattern to you. But in light of our current Covid-19 shelter-in-place environment, I’d like to offer the Shuffle Card Holder pattern completely FREE without having to sign-up for anything. This is a quick and easy project for raw-edge substrates and is a great stash-buster for all of the little bits of cork, leather, suede or vinyl you may have lying around. If you have ever wanted to learn how to sew on these substrates, now is the time! A small project like the Shuffle will make things bite-sized and manageable too.

The Shuffle Card Holder is designed with 3 pockets. There are two in the front — perfect for an ID and debit card. But there is also a third pocket which is hidden and a great spot for a little stash of cash and even a key! The front and back are made from a single folded piece of fabric with all sides left raw.

For a more polished look, you can take the extra minute to add some top-stitching at all of the pocket openings. It adds a nice finishing to make the card holder extra special.

TIP: Use a Walking Foot for nice even stitches, especially on vinyl or cork where a regular presser foot could stick.

I love using the Shuffle Card Holder when I’m switching between purses and especially when moving into a smaller bag. It goes perfectly with the Emma Stadium Bag to keep my money hidden at public sporting events and I also love using it with the Kelly Waist Bag to keep things as light as possible.

As we spend more time walking and taking bike rides, the cardholder is perfect for just slipping into your back pocket or in a bike pouch.

This is also a great way to present a gift card – especially to those who are working essential jobs or just a way to let someone know you are thinking about them at this time. You can even pair it up with The Tiny Sophia Bag for a complete on-the-go gift set!
