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.

Handmade Wallet again

My friend's daughter is cyclist and she's got few medals up her sleeves already

One day the mommy saw my wallet and asked if I have bicycle print

I said of course I do {see, this is why I need to buy certain fabrics}

After pulling out a bunch of fabrics to match, I came up with this one

I add a little hand embroidered monogram there

and since my previous wallet was taken by my dear sister 

I need to make one for my self

Finally I got to use my linen! 

I bought FQ bundles from Etsy few months ago

I'm quite happy with the result

I love to keep my debit and credit cards in the zipper pocket

I feel safer that way ^_*

I remember a friend recently complaining about her work 

she was not quite happy with her work

even though I told her, she's done very well

considering she just picked up sewing

Well, for me, HANDMADE should LOOK handmade

 all the imperfections will make it more special

Btw, did you notice the binding?

I just recently decided to learn to make a proper bias binding

I always thought it's tedious to cut diagonally and sewing all those strips together

I googled and found several tutorials 

but I love this tutorial on you tube

2 things you must REMEMBER while making bias binding 

1. spray starch your fabric before hand. This will help you while you run it through the bias maker. and since bias cut fabric tends to stretch, the starch will help you to control it.

2. Mark it properly 

And here's what I got 

So, when you're not in the mood to sew

why not trying this one

this surely save you a lot of time
