A Few Passport Wallets

Disney Passport Wallet

I just finished making this the cute Mickey Mouse family passport wallet. It's been on my WIP boxes for months waiting to be sewn and finally it's now ready and listed in the shop! The fabric is licensed Disney fabric I bought from my trip to Japan a couple of years ago. I bought a few Disney fabrics and my regret is I only bought half yard each! LOL. Come to think of it, I think I better start cutting and making something with those fabrics!

I am trying to building my ready-to-ship stocks in the shop, especially for bigger and more complicated projects. I cut and prepped so many wallets and keep them in separate bins. And when I am done with my custom orders, I pick up one project and finish it. 

When I'm working on a custom order, I usually cut a few more of the same project. Sometimes, I cut 2 or even a dozen more, depending on how complex the project is. By cutting out extra projects, I will always have ready-to-sew projects available to quickly sew when I don't have a custom order.

Making wallets is time-consuming. However, if I prepare several projects at once, I can save a lot of time, energy, and money. I use a sublimation heat press to iron the interfacing, which makes preparing multiple projects efficient and practical. Cutting fabrics, interfacing, and ironing is sometimes a full-day job. My heat press was definitely worth the investment!

Here are a few passport wallets I made recently:

These Safari Wallets was order from a friend here in India. She wanted to gift them to her son and her friend who is a travel buff! She chose the same fabrics but with different combo. I still have enough fabric to make more wallets, so I put them up for custom order in the shop now.

The Safari Passport Wallet is perfect for solo travelers. It's compact and can hold a lot of stuff. I personally love this when I travel solo. It has a lot of space for passports, cards, money, ID card, pen holder, and extra spaces for other travel documents. 

That's all for today, thank you for stopping by! 

Happy Sunday,

Pattern Update: New Video for Family Passport Wallet Pattern

Get the Pattern on Etsy

The Family Passport Wallet is my first Pattern that I release a few years ago. Although I write blogs and tutorials, but pattern is totally a different experience. I will try to keep sharing the updates through this blog. I'm thinking of re-writing the pattern but it will be difficult to resend the pattern to those who already purchase it. So, I thought sharing an update in this blog and my Youtube Channel is the best solution for all. 

The question I got the most is about assembling the passport slot and the zipper pocket. So, here's the updated version on how to make the passport slot and the mini zipper pocket. The method is  slightly different from the pattern:

I finished this family passport wallet few days ago! I just got a new sublimation heat press machine which works amazingly for attaching interfacing. Thanks Namrata for the recommendation! Naturally I have to try it immediately.

The machine is quite big and for now I set it up in my kitchen! I can finish attaching interfacing for 5 projects in less than 5 minutes! How cool is that!! Hmm, I think I can iron my scraps there too, that will be faster, right!

The heat transfer machine is definitely a game changer. The interfacing is attached evenly and firmly! I got it from Amazon India for INR 16K. Not a bad deal since it's free delivery too.

The second good thing I got is the pegboard! I always wanted to have Ikea Pegboard and after my visit to Ikea in Jakarta last summer, it's been on my mind. A good friend Wulan, who lives in Hyderabad offered me to get it for me and of course I said YES ! Thanks dear <3 . Though the shipping cost quite a bit but it was worth it!  I hope they will open a branch in Northeast India soon :D. 

What do you think? 

Thank you for stopping by,

Have a nice day!
