Steps (9 steps, 120 minutes)

1. 1

   Trace the outline of your passport on the a piece of paper, leaving a couple of millimetres space around the edges, and cut out for your template.

2. 2

   Use your template to cut out one felt piece for the front of the passport wallet and two 6cm wide edges.

3. 3

   Plan out your passport design on paper and then trace around the templates on to felt, cutting out the pieces in different colours. For this design, I cut out the shapes of the countries I want to travel between, a little plane and a ticket.

4. 4

   Use the sewing machines to embroider your name, or the passengers name on the ticket.

5. 5

   When you're happy with the design, stitch each of the felt pieces in place. You can then stitch freehand on top of each to add a little more design.

6. 6

   Embroider the country names on top of their felt outlines. It's a good idea to practise this on a piece of scrap fabric first to get the placement just right.

7. 7

   Now freehand the route of the plane between the two countries and feel free to do a couple of loop-de-loops along the way.

8. 8

   When you're happy with the design, pin the two side flaps on the back and stitch around the outline.

9. 9

   Cut off excess felt from the edges to give it a neat finish and slip your passport inside.
