Not too big, not too small, Foldilocks is just right!
This beginner-friendly wallet keeps you organized any time of day, thanks to its two outer zipper pockets, as well as an inner pocket that closes with an invisible snap.
Need a little more space? Our new Tool-Free Snaps make it easy to expand this handy bag. The pattern includes simple installation instructions.
Foldilocks includes instructions for bags in two sizes, as well as an optional carrying strap that lets you carry the bag as a waist or shoulder bag. Without the carrying strap, Foldilocks makes a fantastic clutch or purse organizer!
Finished Size:
SMALL: 5”H x 8”W x 1”D
LARGE: 6”H x 9½”W x 1½” D
