I have a lot of sdcards that keep getting scattered. I could not find any sdcard holders in the stores. Well not any that would hold more than four. So I made my own easily constructed wallet.
Organizing goal: number all of pockets, and write unique numbers on all of your sdcards (use a "silver" sharpie, for dark cards). Make a computer file or write on paper, what is on each card, for each sdcard number.
This shows how the sdcards are inserted into the panels. Notice the pockets point down into the fold, so there is less chance of them falling out.
This image also makes it clear how the elastic is stitched on.
This is the wallet fanned open so you can see all the slots.
This image also shows how the flaps are stitch together at their bases.
This can be made wider or narrower than the 5 card width that is shown.
This can be expanded to many flaps.
Duck Cloth (or canvas)
1 1/4in Elastic, white (so you can write on it). You need 6in for every 5 pockets. 1 1/4 yrds is enough for 35 pockets
About 7in of Sew-on 3/4in velcro
Thread. The same color as the duck cloth.
Sewing machine
Blue and White taylor's chalk
Scissors
Pins
Time: 3 hours or less
[TBD - include a pattern layout diagram, with measurements]
Cut the duck cloth to the desired size. Leave room for the rolled edging all around.
Sew rolled edges (1/4 in.) all around, so the edges won't fray. Leave the end "flap" unfinished so it can be cut to size.
Sew the fuzzy velcro part onto the back of the first flap.
Cut elastic into 6in strips (for 5 card width)
Pin elastic strips down. Base of first one at 1/2in from edge. The next one is placed 1in from the top of the first one. Then the next one is placed 1/2in from the last one. Keep alternating with 1in and 1/2in gaps.
Sew the bottoms of the strips. Notice that the bases to be sewn are the closest parts (1/2in apart).
Now mark where to sew the pockets. 1 1/16" is the width of each pocket.
Sew the full length of the cloth, across all of the elastic strips to make the pockets.
Optional: Zig-zag stitch across the elastic ends to prevent fraying. Or when you sewed the base, you tucked the ends in, so that you can stitch down the ends, whey you sew the pockets.
Fold and crease the flaps, so that they are all even. You will want to mark the valley folds.
Make the first flap. Fold, and sew about 1/8in to 1/4in above the marked valley fold. That allows room for the thickness of the sdcards and material, so that it will close nicely.
Sew all around the flap edges and across the top fold.
Repeat the previous two steps, to make each of the flaps.
Put sdcards in all of the end pockets, to get the width needed for the end flap.
Fold the flap over the top and see where the velcro will be placed. Sew the velcro on.
Cut the end (if needed) and sew the rolled edge.
