Travel passport wallet set

I have so much fun making this set of travel wallet and mini backpack! I have completed 2 sets now and have a few cuts and ready to sew. So stay tuned for more. 

This orange crazy patchwork print fabric has been in my stash for a long time. I found it in my stash and I know instantly it's going to be great for Voyage wallet and the Viola mini backpack! Now I am thinking of making a big or medium bag in the same print! Hmm...let's see.

And the second set is this vintage print in black and grey! I made family passport wallet with the same fabric a few weeks ago and after making the small passport holder, I have a small piece leftover which is just enough to make the mini backpack! I did fussy cut for the backpack.  I really love how this set turned out! Now I wish I have a trip planned haha!

Finally finished this small passport wallet order and it's now on its way to Hawaii! I got a few orders from Hawaii this last few weeks. There was a little delay with the previous order as turned out the shipping to Hawaii fall under remote area delivery. After discussion with my courier partner, we decided to go with USPS as it's the most economical one, even though it cost a little bit more than what the customer paid. But it's alright. The express shipping by FedEx and DHL are also available but it's way more expensive.  

Anyway, I really love this vintage Paris theme fabric. Eifel Tower print is my all time favorite pattern. I have many in my stash! This was one of those impulsive buy, but when you go to Japan, you'd want to buy so many fabrics as you can! 

Anyway, I think this voyage passport wallet turned out really nice. I still have enough fabric to make 2 more wallets, so this wallet is available for pre-order in my Etsy Shop now.

I also added another passport wallet in Navy theme. The color is a kind of robin egg blue, very pretty color but it's a bit of challenge to find the perfect combination. This blue polka dots is the best combo I can find in my stash. Maybe I should try with another combo.

If you notice, I use a new photo background in the photos above. Nowadays we have so many options for photo backdrop. I think after the pandemic or so. Before that, it was  expensive, so I used to buy roll wallpaper and use it as a background for my photos! 
So now I’ve got these wallpaper rolls that I didn’t use, I figured I would put them on the inside of my fabric cupboard. The cupboard was custom made and the carpenter just painted the inside of the cupboard to save money. It is how it is, but I like the way it turned out. At least the wallpaper is not wasted.








I've been doing a lot of  organizing around my sewing room lately. I keep saying I should start de-stashing some of them. This year maybe I should! There are a few things I want to do this year, besides de-stashing, I'd like to again streamlining my website so that it's manageable for me, as I run my small business all by myself. There are a lot of scenarios and also things to think about. As I am going through perimenopauses stage now, it seems like my brain is scattered all over the place, so I need to make everything as simple as possible so that I can manage it well. Well, I'll do this slowly, Insha Allah within the next 6 months or so. 





That's all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a nice day!

Curvy edge passport holders

 

Floral Passport Wallet


Hello,
I'm still in the #sewmystash mission. I made a few Voyage Passport Wallets for the shops before Ramadan. They are now available in my ETSY SHOP as well as my WEBSITE. 

This time I made curvy edge wallets and love how they turned out. If you don't like making your own bias binding, you can always make the regular Voyage Wallet using cross-cut binding.


Voyage Passport Wallet


Voyage passport wallet is a slim and compact travel wallet. Even though it's small in size (4.5" x 6.5") it can hold up to 4 passports (2 passports on each sleeve) and 2 cardholders. It's just perfect for those who carry 2 passports while travelling. 

I made this floral wallet below from block print fabric because I love the print so much! I also got a small blue and white block print fabric on the interior. A bit of contrast but not too much! 




The second one is this lavender patchwork print wallet. The fabric is also from my stash and I still have quite a lot of it, I may make bigger passport wallets like Ohana or Safari or another Nuno Wallet. I have matching purple polka dots too.




The third one is this blue wallet made from Marimekko fabric. I remembered I got it at Nomura Tailor. They have small cuts of designer fabrics and I picked up quite a few. The size is a little smaller than the fat 8 fabric. I had fun mix-matching this wallet.

All the passport wallets are available on my WEBSITE as well as my ETSY shop. If you want it in a different fabric, I'd be happy to make one for you. 


Thank you for stopping by!

Voyage Passport Wallets

Hello, 

This week I am pretty productive. I made a few wallet orders and then went on to finish two Voyage Passport Wallets. Last year I did not shop much for fabrics, instead, I was using what I had in my (huge) stash. Maybe I will let go of a few fabrics from my collection at some point of time this year. I just need some time to get organized. So, stay tuned! 

Now back to the two voyage wallets that are made from my stash. The first one was the peach lantern wallet. I think I got the fabric from the Moda shop in OsakaThe lantern design is very cute with the ribbon bows, etc. Not sure why I bought it in the first place though, but I am glad that I did! It reminds me of Chinese New Year.

The second one is the Alice in Wonderland Passport wallet. I am so happy I decided to make the wallet from this linen fabric. I was making a kodomo wallet using the same fabric for an order and decided to make a passport wallet with it. 

This time I also decided to make a curvy one because I have a bias binding ready. And I love how it turned out. I think I will make a few more with a curvy edge. The wallet closed with a snap button, I am thinking of making another one with a zippered closure.  What do you think?


Alice in Wonderland Passport Wallet




This voyage passport wallet can hold up to 4 passports (2 passports in each sleeve) plus 2 cards. Personally, I love to carry this one when I am traveling solo. It fits nicely in my purse. 

These wallets are available in my Etsy shop as well as on my Website. I've been making a few changes to the website in the past few weeks, like I merged back the fabric section into the website. Hopefully,  I now can update the listing more regularly. Having a small business is not as glamorous as it looks on Instagram. But as long as we enjoy it, it's worth it!

Pattern Update - Voyage Passport Wallet

 Hello, 

Passport Wallet Small


Recently I updated the Voyage Passport Wallet pattern to include the zipper closure tutorial, especially for those who prefer the written tutorial to the Video Tutorial. The pattern is the same as the original one and I only added the instructions for zipper closure. 

If you purchased the Voyage Passport Wallet Pattern before Dec 7, 2023, you can download the tutorial for FREE. The Add-On file DOES NOT INCLUDE a complete tutorial to make the passport wallet.

The Voyage Passport Wallet is a quick and easy-to-make accessory with a minimalist design that can hold a lot of items. It can hold up to four passports (two on each sleeve), as well as two cardholders. Its compact size makes it perfect for carrying it in your travel handbag or backpack.

A few video resources are also included in the pattern now, such as how to machine sew the binding and how to make DIY Bias Binding.


The trick for sewing a zip-around wallet is to always use a zipper foot! I don't always use it as the regular foot I am using is pretty narrow (don't be like me 😀 ) and if you can set the speed, use the slower speed. Take your time to learn. It's not rocket science, so with enough practice, I am sure you can master it too. 



In the tutorial, I showed how to sew the zipper end tab the easy way, but you can always use the metal zipper end or the button style like in this video

Don't forget to use the coupon code CVG20 when purchasing the pattern either from my WEBSITE or ETSY SHOP.

Thank you so much once again for your continued support! If you have any questions regarding sewing or quilting and want me to make video tutorials, simply reply to this email. I'd love to hear your ideas! 


Until next time,


Happy Sewing!
