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: 

Musical theme passport holder I recently sent to Canada. I hope it will reach in good time. I am worried because of Canada Postal service frequently have disruption.

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,

So many pouches

Trapeze Zipper Pouches

This week is all about pouches! Not your regular zipper pouches but the FUN nested pouches, the kind that you cannot make just one. At least for me! 

It's been a while since I make this trapeze zipper pouches. I usually make only one size, but this time I made more. 

First is the black and white set, it was a custom order and I decided to make 2 full set. The customer asked for only 3 sizes. For the whole 4 sets, I only need 1/3 yard of each exterior fabric, lining fabric, interfacing and batting. I used cotton batting here and of course zipper of your choice. I used metal zipper to give a rustic look.

Then I decided to make another set in this pretty leaf fabric. It's a digital cotton fabric I got from local shop a few months ago. I only bought 1 yard, maybe I will ask them if they still have a few yards in stock. I really love it.

I really like using these trapeze zipper pouches to store things like pencils, crochet hooks, reading glasses, and wrist watches.  I think they’re super versatile and you can do so much with them. As much as I love my bags, I've also made them as gifts for friends and family. If you're looking for a quick and easy sewing project, I highly recommend making these. The pattern includes 2 video tutorials for making quilted pouch and faux leather pouch.

And look, I got new heat transfer label!! I've been looking for this kind of label. You can find all sorts of fancy labels, even in small quantities these days. Sometimes they’re expensive, but if you’re like me, then anything is better than nothing! I ordered some multicolor ones and I think I'll get black and white later on. They stick great, and all I have to do is iron them. A decade ago I have to order from Indonesia for my labels in a small quantity. I even tried making my own label like in HERE and HERE (this is like 15 years ago!!)

New Label!! What do you think? 

These handmade pouches are now available in my Etsy Shop and also my Webshop. 

Thank you so much for stopping by. 

Happy Sewing!
