Travel Passport Wallet Tutorial

Wallet 

So, in case you hadn't heard, and most of you haven't because I am so way new to the blogging world, we are spreading our wings and moving to South Korea this summer. Since there are five of us, we will have a ton of boarding passes, passports and IDs to present at each and every airport along the way! So, I thought I would come up with a Passport Travel wallet to keep all of our documents handy on our travels. Of course, I don't have a passport (my old one expired and new one is in route via USPS!) or a boarding pass on hand for the pic. So I used a check book and regular wallet stuff, and turns out it works great as an everyday wallet too! So, even if you aren't moving to Korea you can still whip up this fun wallet!
Supplies
Fabric:  Two              9.75" X 8.75"       Front and Back
               One             4.5" X 8.75           Pocket
              One              4" X 9"                 Pocket 
              Two             4" X 9"                  Strips
Interfacing:
               One             9.75"  X 8.75"        
                Two            4"  X  9"        
Elastic string
Two Buttons
          
  


Here is the inside. 
So This is your first step after cutting your fabric. To get the slanted pocket just  measure in 1" on the top and 1" on the side and put a small dot at both. Use a ruler to connect the dots and cut along that line.


Create a finished edge for the opening of both pockets.



Front piece




My straps are a little long in this pictures. I cut them down after taking the picture. Sorry, didn't mean to be confusing!






Almost done...



I marked this picture for what I intend the pockets to be used for during travel. But I kinda like my checkbook and all in here. I think I may start using it everyday !



Thanks for stopping by! 
I would love to hear from you!

  12. Government of India has launched electronic travel authorisation or eTA for India which allows citizens of 180 countries to travel to India without requiring a physical stamping on the passport. This new type of authorisation is called an eVisa India (or electronic India Visa). It is this electronic India Visa Online that allows foreign visitors to visit India for five major purposes, tourism / recreation / short term courses, business, medical visit or conferences. There are further number of sub categories under each visa type.

  20. I'm so happy to have found this treasure trove of information. It's the type of guide that should be disseminated, not the misleading content found on some other blogs. I want to inform you on Residential Status and Regulations in Saudi Arabia for Travelers. Residential status and regulations in Saudi Arabia are governed by a set of rules and policies that outline the conditions for living in the country.
