Easy to Sew Fabric Business Card / Gift Card Holder
Create a fabric business card holder with these easy to follow instructions.
I love sewing business card holders and using them for my business cards. Or I fill with gift cards and give them as gifts. This card holder is also the perfect size for credit cards. This pattern is similar to my Fabric Checkbook Cover, just adjusted for size.
If you want a card holder with more pockets, the gift card / credit card holder has six pockets and a button closure. Or you might try sewing the mini card wallet with snap closure.

Business card holder supplies needed:
- One outer fabric piece – 4.75″W x 9.5″H – my favorite fabric shop
- One lining fabric piece – 4.75″W x 9.5″H
- Fusible interfacing – I use Pellon P44F Fusible Interfacing
- Rotary cutter
- Cutting mat
- Clear ruler
- Matching thread
- Straight pins or sewing clips

Measure and cut your fabric
Using your rotary cutter, clear ruler and cutting mat, cut one outer fabric piece and one lining fabric piece each measuring 4.75″W x 9.5″H.
Attach the fusible interfacing
Cut two pieces of the fusible interfacing measuring 4.75″W x 9.5″H. For this business card holder sewing pattern I’m using Pellon P44F Fusible Interfacing.
Attach the interfacing to the wrong side of each fabric piece following the package instructions.
Time to sew
Place the outer fabric on top of the lining fabric, right sides together. Pin to hold in place.
Sew around the perimeter using a 3/8″ seam allowance, leaving an opening for turning.
Clip the corners using your sewing scissors.
Turn right side out
Turn the gift card holder right side out, pushing out the corners. Fold in the opening and press all around.
Top stitch short sides
Top stitch the short sides to give it a finished look.
Time to fold
Fold in half with the short sides together and press the fold.
Open back up and fold each short side in 1.75″ and press the folds. Clip or pin to hold in place.
Be sure the edges are lined up. Sew along the sides using an 1/8″ seam allowance to secure the folds and close up the opening. Press.
The above picture shows the sewn sides of the business card wallet.
Fold again and press.
