Our family loves to play games. We recently learned a few games that make Playing Card Holders essential. Super Samba has you holding 30+ cards at a time and Uno No Mercy has a Draw 10 card! So we created a sewing pattern for the playing card holder.
This playing card holder went through trial and error until we developed this version. It features:
- 5 rows of pockets (without a center seam).
- Slightly angled so cards are easy to see.
- Weighted bottom so the card holder won’t fall over.
- Velcro for easy set-up and fold away (or snap together option).
- C-fold closed to protect the pockets
- All cloth design to be light weight and portable.
- 10.5” wide x 16.5” long – when lying flat open.
- 5.5” tall x 3.75” deep x 10.5” wide – when assembled for play
- 10.5” long x 6” wide – when C-folded closed for storing

Upcycle Fabric to Make Playing Card Holders
This is a great project for using remnants and old clothing or bed linens. We made them from sheets, jeans and fabric remnants. Pictured above is an old bed sheet we picked up at a 2nd hand shop. The denim and doily one above was made from old stretch jeans I was using as paint pants. The doily was handed down to me by my aunt. It’s fun to find a use for the family heirloom!
The Playing Card Holder uses less than a yard of fabric, so it’s a fun and affordable way to make custom card holders for your friends and family. And since the design is all fabric, it’s a safe project for young hands or people with disabilities or limited abilities.

The Sewing Pattern for the Playing Card Holder
The sewing pattern was specifically designed to be “easy” and is made with straight stitches.
There are little tips and tricks sprinkled throughout the pattern. There are photos of several different designs and information on where fabric was sourced.
The pattern has step-by-step written instructions and lots of color photos along the way.
The pattern gives instructions for two different types of closures…velcro or snap.
When open for play, the card holder is a pyramid. It closes and lays flat for easy portability.
