The Gizmo Wallet by AGF

So while I was on the hunt for the perfect handmade gift I came across a geek wallet that had some of the elements I was looking for but

not yet the perfect gift. So.. I added some very essential pockets and made it the perfect all-in-one wallet for the "hard to get" person on

your list.

I decided to sew my very first ever handmade gift (and by first I mean first sucessful project that I finished 100% without too many tears

and without throwing my hands up in defeat.)

I am soooo happy with the outcome (well minues the #SewingFails) that I have created this tutorial for you.

This wallet was created to hold your phone, MP3 player, credit cards, USB's, money and anything else that meets your fancy.

Tip:For the LARGE pocket a snap closure will ensure that your electronics stay in place and for the smaller pocket I suggest using a

string/ribbon to tie down your phone so it does not slip out.
