Sewing darted corners to create volume?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, noob here.. Been around a while lurking and learning. Still just a hobbyist. I want to create a simple fold over card wallet type thing, but I want more volume in the pocket. 

I've seen something similar done w leather (can't find again of course) where the maker cut out darts/triangles on the round edge and pulled the 2 pieces together with a nice stitch to create volume in a 1 pocket pouch/ small card wallet. 

I know I can try w paper, my problem is knowing how much of a dart to make so that when pieces come together that the back and front of wallet are even? The pics don't really help as it's fabric and a glasses case but maybe you can see what I'm trying to achieve? Simple rectangle wallet, rounded edges w sewn darts to create volume instead of a flat pocket. 

Suggestions? Or am I trying to make this more difficult than it needs to be?
