We’re so excited to introduce the Bertie Wallet, a compact and customizable project designed to fit seamlessly into your everyday life. Bertie is the kind of wallet you’ll reach for again and again, whether you’re heading out for errands, traveling light, or looking for a polished accessory to finish off an outfit.
Inspired by our beloved Bella Wallet, Bertie is the sporty, compact sibling. Smaller in size but big on function, this design blends modern style with thoughtful details that make it incredibly versatile. It’s designed to keep your essentials organized while giving you plenty of ways to show off your personal style.
To make sewing Bertie feel approachable and enjoyable, we’ve created a step by step video tutorial on our YouTube channel. Kate walks you through the entire process at a relaxed, easy pace, sharing helpful tips along the way so you can sew confidently and comfortably. It’s like having a sewing friend right beside you as you stitch.
One of the things we love most about Bertie is how easily it can be styled to match your lifestyle. Wear it on your belt for hands free convenience, clip it onto a favorite bag using an accessory clip, or add a wrist strap or chain strap to carry it as a petite stand-alone wallet. With just a few hardware choices, Bertie can shift from casual and practical to polished and evening ready.
Inside, Bertie is just as functional as it is stylish. The pattern includes card pockets to keep everything organized, an interior slip pocket for cash or notes, and a secure exterior zipper to keep important items safely tucked away. For makers who want an extra layer of protection, there’s even an option to add a hidden layer of RFID fabric for digital security.
Bertie also plays well with the rest of your handmade collection. It fits beautifully inside nearly every Sallie Tomato bag and becomes an easy clip-on accessory for bags that feature d rings, o rings, or rectangle rings. If you love coordinating pieces, Bertie is a perfect way to tie an entire bag set together.
