My latest project has been to develop a travel wipes case that has a waterproof interior, so wet wipes stay moist. The wallet is compact and fits in perfectly into the pocket of the Diaps-n-Wipes bag. The wallet is the perfect size to be used with either cloth or disposible wipes.
The tutorial below will walk you through making your own wipes wallet, of course if you would prefer to buy one pre-made, please visit my shop and don't forget to check out a matching Diaps-n-Wipes bag and/or Hobo bag.
You will need:
10" x 13" medium weight cotton fabric
10" x 13" Polyurethane Laminate (PUL) fabric
10" x 13" heavyweight interfacing
Fastener - Snap or hook & loop (applix or velcro)
Step 1
Start by cutting the wipes wallet outer from your favorite fabric approximately 9.5" wide by 11" tall with an additional 2" curve added to the top edge which will ultimately be the flap of the wallet.
Cut a piece of Polyurethane Laminate (PUL) fabric the same size as the wipes wallet outer.
Cut a piece of heavy interfacing just slightly smaller by the size of your seam allowance. I like to use a 1/2" seam allowance.

Step 2
Attach one side of your fastener about 2 inches from the the straight bottom edge of the wallet on the right side of the fabric. Here, I've used the loop side of some hook and loop Applix.
Attach the other side of your fastener to right side (shiney side) of the PUL fabric.

Step 3
With right sides together layer you three fabric pieces in this order:
Cotton, PUL, Interfacing. Pin and stitch around the outer edge with a 1/2" seam allowance. Leave an approximately 2-3 inch opening to turn the wallet right side out.
Step 4
Turn and press
Step 5
Fold the bottom of the wipes wallet about 1/3 of the way up. Pin and stitch the side edges and top stitch along the upper curved edge.

Your wipes wallet is ready to go. It will keep moist wipes moist without getting the rest of your bag damp.
