well done. I like the paper instructions.
I have no passport, sadly, but I'm sure there's a little notebook out there somewhere that i could cover.
this is stunning. (like supa's avatar ... i digress) We are going to have to get two wee passports soon ... can these hold more than one passport?
oh, supa. nice dreamy avatar. me lovey.
toybaby, these are made for one passport. i made one for each of us today. it takes no time at all once you get cutting. really. just make four or five or six or whatever. you won't even notice the extra ones.
thanks jessica. looks good.
That's the cutest passport sleeve :) Thanks for the tutorial Jessica!
Looks great and very easy too. I have been looking for my first ever sewing project and this looks like it could be it! If only I had cause to use the said passport in the near future too! Thanks.
Hello! Just discovered your blog. Love the passport cover and especially your handwritten tutorial instructions!
Fantastic tutorial!
Thanks for sharing. :)
Neato tute! I just used this tutorial to make this travel docs holder.
You did a great job. I love how you used the little handwritten tags to label everything. I can't wait to try it for myself.
Very nicely done and great timing, I had some friends asking for these, now I can make a few! Thanks!
Yeay thanks for posting this tutorial! I've been looking for a passport cover and now I can make my own. :D
thank you for this tutorial!! I love the cut out instructions you placed on the fabric! Very clever :)
great job! i just got my passport in the mail. will try to tackle this project before august (i'm traveling to the philippines).
thanks!
Love the passport cover. Looking forward to make one. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind. May I ask where can I get the same fabric you use?
So fabulous, thanks for fixing the link. I just finished mine and it is going to make a lovely father's day gift. I included the link on my blog. So great, thanks!
This is way cute! I was going to make one for my sister who travels constantly, but she says customs makes you take a cover off anyway. Too bad.
*Fab* tutorial! I cannot believe that it's your first one. I think it's brilliant, especially the handwritten notes! Thank you for sharing! Beautiful stuff in your etsy store, btw.
Thanks so much for the tutorial! It's so easy to follow and the results are great! Also, I just wanted to let you know that they've posted my attempt over at CRAFT with a link to your site!
this looks like a great tutorial! it looks easy to follow and i would like to try it out, but does anyone know if all passports have the same dimensions? will this work with any passports? i want to make one for my father for father's day and he has an american passport. i also want to make one for my father-in-law and he has a passport from the philipines. can anyone help me out?
the best tutorial i've come across! i just finished making my passport cover so thank you very much!
ps - love your blog!
Oh, I have to make it!!! Hope measurements will fit also the European passport. I'll tell when I'll make it!!!
Thanks so much for such a beautiful and easy-to-follow tutorial!
Thank you for the tutorial! :D the instructions are very clear and i am gonna make one for my bf and I each!
Thank you for your tutorial. I tried it out last night and made passport sleeves for our passports. Your instructions were very clear. I've posted about it on my blog today and two links to you (one for the tutorial and one for your blog). Thanks again!
ooh! i'll be traveling soon, and i was just about to buy a commercially-made leather passport case, but now...! i make my own! thanks for your tutorial :)

I love the simplicity of this tutorial and can't wait to try it out! :D Thanks!
This is a great tutorial (I know I'm a bit late), I just got done making my own and wanted to say, "Thanks for the great job and sharing!"
Hi Jessica! Thank you for your passport tutorial! Since I'll have my holiday in a month, I am sure I will find the time to do it. Thanks for sharing! Camilla
I just found your blog and I'm so glad to have stumbled upon this post! Everything needs a cute little cover and I'll be making one for my passport now... thanks! And your directions are great!!
I going to make one tonight! Thanks!
I made one! See my blog post here: http://paperandstitch.blogspot.com/2008/07/pretty-pretty-passport.html
Thanks for the great tutorial!
i finally got around to making one today... actually, to jacking one up and then making 2. my bad, i didn't think about suckiness with keeping an exact 1/4" so i enlarged my origional rectangle and now they are super cute. and super fast, thanks for the great tut!
I absolutely love this!! Not only does it make not-so-cute passports way cute, but its camoflauge in the even that your getting hit up by a pickpocket!! Who will ever suspect a hot pink passport?? Thanks!!
What a great tutorial! So simple I think I might actually be able to pull it off! thanks
Great job! Like the arrows much! :-)
What a clearly written/illustrated tute! Bravo for you!! (and this is from a techy)

Your tutorial is an art piece in itself. Great job! We are going to Mexico in February. What a great thing for my passport!
Very nice passport cover, but actually I'm looking for a tutorial of how to make a passport bag so that I can travel hands free. I love your handwritting!
I am going to try my hand at this. Thank you so very much for the wonderful tutorial!

I think this will be a perfect gift for my sister-in-law for the holidays! Thank you so much for the tutorial. :)
Thanks for the tutorial. I've made a bunch now for gifts. Going to hunt for some "guy" fabric....guys such a pain to buy for and to sew for now.
Cool tutorial! I'm gonna make some now! happy holidays xx
here are the ones i made... http://www.grantandnicole.blogspot.com/
thanks!
This is such a great tutorial!
I made a passport sleeve for my friend as a Christmas present, and she just loved it!
You can find some pictures here:

Thank you for such precious idea!
This was a great tutorial! I am totally going to use your idea the next time I do one myself!
Just wanted to let you know I've posted a picture of the passport cover I made for my sister-in-law:

Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial!!! :)
Thanks so much for posting this. My SO is always losing his auto registration papers in the bottom of his glove compartment. So, I decided to make a little wallet to put them in using your idea.
I used interfacing underneath the lining fabric,since the passport cover won't be there to help it keep its shape (I also modified the width of the pockets a little). It worked perfectly!
Awesome...I am all over this today! Then I'll blog it and credit you.
Thank you!

Thank you so very much! I've been looking for a tutorial for one of these things for quite a long time. I'm so happy you did one! :D
thanks for the tutorial! i'm getting my passport soon and can't wait to make a slip cover for it!
awesome! can't wait to try it...thanks!
Oh my goodness! This is great karma I found your tutorial as I am flying to Australia in a few days and I think I have to make one of these for my passport before I go!! Thank you so much!!!
xoxo, Tiffany
Thank you for this tutorial, very helpful and I made a lovely passport cover because of it! Thanks!

love the tutorial! blogged you:

Thank you. I need to make a passport cover for a swap and did not know the dimesions needed. Again, thank you.
Thank you so much for the concise and beautifully photographed tutorial. Your blog header is totally delightful. Thanks again from Australia!
Thanks for the tutorial. It is so easy to follow with great pictures and instructions.
Awesome. We have 5 passports at our place and it's a nightmare when we need just one.
(Sadly, it's usually just for identification purposes or something like that. Overseas travel is a thing of the past... at least for a while!)
i knew i should've googled instructions before making my own! at least, i only wasted a fat quarter... thanks for such clear, easy instructions!
My husband just received his passport, so I couldn't resist making this cute cover for him. I will post a photo on the SMS Flickr pool. Thanks for the pattern.
