RFID resistant EDC pouch

[spandit]

I make lots of these with different fabrics. This one is heavyweight linen look ripstop Nylon outer, with lightweight ripstop inner. There's also aluminium foil in between the layers (which makes it a bit stiff, but I'm going to look into using Mylar). A brief test showed it effectively blocks RFID so should help prevent skimming attacks. I keep one on my car keys with a bank card, spare facemask and a pair of disposable gloves in it. Since the photos were taken, I've added a decorative lanyard to the zip tab (and trimmed off that loose thread end!). Label is a bit big (and sewn upside down as you can't see my logo/website on it) but I'm ordering some smaller ones

Real paranoiacs use multilayer multimetal shields. (I have just a simple antiRFID cover on my card).

Looks good.
I have one of your waxed cotton ones and I use it daily

I really like that, I have been interested in getting one of your pouches, ever since mine on the gift it thread was lost in the post.

I like the feel of the waxed cotton - it's nice to sew with as it doesn't fray badly and is stiff enough not to get chewed up under the needle. Was making a half-arsed attempt to tidy my sewing area and found that bit of ripstop ready cut to size under a load of other scraps so decided to make a pouch from that. I have a vast amount of zip that I bought from Facebook and although it's a bit smaller than the Ewok pouch stuff (and possibly the one I sent you, can't remember) it's adequate for these projects, despite it being a massive pain to get the sliders on.

I'm gutted about that. Can't really remember what it looked like (and searching back through my photos, I can't find a picture of it). Since I made it, however, I've upgraded my sewing equipment, including making a nice flat table for my industrial cylinder arm machine which really helps

So, are you selling these?

Interested.

Interested.

The problem with selling them is having enough interest to justify the cost of becoming a maker on here. Athough I'm getting quicker, they're still quite time consuming to make so I'm never going to make a living from them. How much would you be willing to pay for one? An Ewok pouch is £9.99, for example

I don't know what an Ewok pouch is.

Made another one with Mylar (emergency blanket) between the lining and the outer - it's much more flexible but I was disappointed when I tried it this evening in my local petrol station as it didn't block the contactless card
