So here is my first attempt. It all came together very well, but I had some trouble with zipper. I scrapped the zipper foot I was using and just used my general sewing foot, which seemed to solve the problem. I also made a mistake and forgot to insert the lining piece in the zipper pocket, so when you open it you see the wrong side of the focus fabric. I can live with that for now, but will definitely pay more attention the next time around.
This wallet is petite, just 4.5 inches wide by 3.25 tall. I couldn't quite slip my i-phone in the main pocket, but if I widened it by just a smidge...That said, the pattern includes three sizes: this smallest version; a tall, narrow one that will surely fit my phone; and a bigger version of this one that I just made.
Some notes on the fabrics, you need two pieces measuring approximately 12" x 12". These pieces are from my scrap bin, so the only item I sprung for was the zipper.

I love this pattern, I bought it too. :)
Oh, and I can't remember now if you sew on a Janome...if you do, I like to use the acufeed feet to eew on zippers. The zipper foot that came with my machine stinks, too. :(
