Passportage
I had been looking online at passport covers and saw some super cute ones on Etsy and other crafty sites. I know that it is a good idea to support fellow crafters, but I figured I could whip one up using some fabric and interfacing I already had. The Taiwan Stash was perfect for mine and just a 1/4 yard of each from Crafty Planet worked great for J's . I made mine first (flowers and brown twill interior) and had some resizing issues which were pretty much worked out by the time I got to J's (Asiatic clouds and sushi). His would have been much quicker if I hadn't sewn it together with the wrong side facing out. Damn! The Seamripper is our Friend. All in all they were pretty quick and satisfying. I might make some for my parents if I can find fabric that I think is suitable. My mother would be mortified if I made my father's in the red-chili-pepper-on-blue-background that I bought to make him some pajama pants...mooohahhaha!!

Wow!! How cute! My lugage tags and your passport covers would be pretty cute together!
I may be totally lame and overlooking it but I noticed you have that nice Etsy icon link for your shop, where did you find that?
TIA

Thanks! They would certainly make a good travel set: Very Fashionable. As for the Etsy icon, I just downloaded one of the small pictures they have at the top of the site and put it in the sidebar with a link, nothing too fancy!

Those are great. The flower fabric is too good.

Thank you! I love that fabric so much; I wish I had an endless supply.. just made another purse in it last night. One day it will all be gone and I'll have to go to Taiwan to get more!
