These are slightly bigger than the one from the previous post. When I stuffed it full of cards, it proved to be just a little too snug so I added 1/4 of an inch to the width and length. I also rounded the corners on the tab a little more.
The denim one is upcycled from a really nice pair of jeans that Mr. Elvy wore and tore while building the chicken coop last year. I tried to patch it up a few times, but the patch just wouldn't hold and the hole kept getting bigger. He started looking like a raggamuffin in patched-up, holey jeans so they have now been fully retired.
The brown one with pink flowers is from a Michael Miller print I used to make an apron a long time ago. I've found that I do need to interface the quilting-weight fabrics, but the denim needed no additional interfacing, even on the gingham that I used for the lining.
I have a couple more denim ones cut for Nos. 1 and 2. They're saving up their allowance money for something special and need little wallets to put all their earnings.
