Solo Travel Passport Cover

Hello,

I've been working on new  products for the shop for sometimes now.  I'm happy that since it's first released a couple of years back, my Family Passport holder is remain the most popular one in my shops, both Etsy and locally. 

The recent trend of solo travel prompts me to create this small passport cover. 

It's similar to any other passport cover out there, the only special is I added mini zipper pocket at the back. 

Passport Cover with Mini Zip Pocket

I realized during my solo travel early this year that I do NEED this small passport holder. I'm using the Single Passport Holder Card Organizer from my shop and it worked great during my solo traveling. I can keep all my hotel bookings, forwarding boarding passes, tickets, travel insurance paper, frequent flyers card and foreign currencies all in one organizer. 

However, when I reached my destination, I only need to carry my passport while I'm exploring the city. I need something small, but secure that I can tuck in inside my sling bag. The big passport organizer can be kept in the safety box at the hotel.

Currently I'm listing these 2 passport covers. More will be added as soon as I finished my custom orders :D.

{NEW PATTERN} Family Passport Wallet PdF Pattern

I'm so happy to announce my new Pattern, Family Passport Wallet PdF Pattern now on Sale in Etsy and my Shop

The past 3 months have been a huge learning experience for me. 

Thank you for my wonderful friends who helped me testing the patterns. I am really grateful for their feedback and their beautiful creations. 

here are some photos from the testers :

Chera from the famous Phipody made this lovely wallet. Chera is favorite with many bag designers. Her works showed how much love she puts into each creation. I was  very grateful when she said she will test for me. 

 She used leather for strap which make the wallet stands out and looks very smart.

This cute multi color elephant passport holder is made by Prabha Matthew of Quiltaholics. She told me even her son said it's very cute :). Prabha made beautiful quilts. I was very grateful when she was readily said yes to test my pattern.

 I love the blue and grey combination. She used mesh for the ID Card slot which is very clever choice.

This beautiful pink Passport Wallet was made by my dear friend Hernik of Ninu' Handmade.

Mbak Hernik was very excited when I asked her to test for my first pattern in spite of her busy schedule, she managed to make this pretty pink wallet. Thank you so much!!

And this pretty Lavender wallet was made by my bestie, Agnes. She's a sewing enthusiast  who's busy raising her cute daughter. 

When I told her that I wanted her to test my first pattern, she was happily agreed. Thank you so much for putting up with my crazy ideas and for being my sounding board. 

This Family Passport Wallet pattern is a quick sew and will be a great handmade gift for your family and friends, especially for family who loves to travel or moving abroad. 

My family of 4 loves to travel and whenever we travel, we have to carry a lot of documents and passports. And since I'm Indonesian living in India, I have to carry more documents. This travel wallet help us to be organized and not to worry about misplacing any travel documents.

A bright week

This week was quite a busy week and I seem to be in a bright mood as you can see from the works I've completed this week. 

Today I finish this mini runner after watching MSQ Youtube  Tutorial on Double Friendship Star block. It's so easy and fun to make. I made this with  2 red riding hood FQ  and a scrap of solid white. 

And I still love using my variegated thread so I used a light red-white one and love how it turned out. 

Very often when I'm cutting fabric order for my customers, idea will pop out in my mind. This mug rug happened like that. I thought I just had to make a quick mini mat with this one. I made pink one earlier and gave that to one of hubby's aunt. Indian fabrics print and color are so attractive that practically you only have to quilt it. 

Still in orange mood, this mobile pouch was made for a client. She saw my patchwork pouches and wondered if I can make a similar patchwork for iPhone pouch. And why not? 

frankly creating your own patchwork so much more fun than using printed patchwork fabric, right?

and with the same fabric she wanted 2 patchwork pencil cases. 

I did this passport wallet with this african print. I have mini quilt still in WIP state with the same print. I added names in the passport wallet but not in the pic ;)

in the last post, I mentioned about embroidery patches. I did the pouch and add the patch but not happy with how it looked. So, I took out my embroidery machine again and did the embroidery directly on the pouch. Now, I like this better! 

That's all for this week. How about your week? I hope you had a good one too
