  Step 1

  For the project you'll need two different patterns of fabric, some clear vinyl and a zipper. . I also think its useful to have a rotary cutter, although scissors work just fine too. You shouldn't need too much zippers, I used fat quarters and they worked jut fine! In my images, the outer fabric is the flowered and the inner lining is the green.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut 2 3.5"x5" squares of outer

  Cut 3 3.5"x5" of inner

  Iron all flat

  Cut a piece of clear vinyl 3.75"x2.5"

• 

  Step 3

  Iron over a fold 3/4 inches along the top(lengthwise) of the two inners.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut out inside the furthest inside line. The cut portion ends up being about 2.75"x1.75". The window you cut should be smaller than the id.

• 

  Step 5

  Trace the id on the center back (wrong side) of an outer piece. Trace 1/4" inside this line

• 

  Step 6

  Cut the diagonals of the 1/4 inside and fold over, iron to stay.

• 

  Step 7

  Sew the vinyl into place, centered over the folded diagonals.

• 

  Step 8

  Take the two folded inner pieces and topstitch together at the top with the folds on the inside. In the picture, this is the two pieces separated. The small folds should be on the inside. This is the pocket piece

• 

  Step 9

  Trace the same id and repeat the same folding/diagonal cutting process as was used in step 4, only now with an inner piece

• 

  Step 10

  Sew the two pieces with windows together, matching the new stitch over the stitch used to previously attach the vinyl.

• 

  Step 11

  Sew the pocket piece to the window piece by sewing a third time over the stitch just used in the previous step. Leave the top over however, to create a pocket. This completes the front of the ID case.

• 

  Step 12

  Baste the back lining to the back outer, wrong sides together.

• 

  Step 13

  Sew wrong side of zipper to front top

• 

  Step 14

  Sew right side of zipper to the right side of the outer back. Top stitch zipper in place on the outside of the case.

• 

  Step 15

  Sew the bottom and only 1 side of the front and back pieces together. Open to zipper to make it easier to turn the case right side out later.

• 

  Step 16

  Cut a piece of outer fabric 2.5"x1". Fold two halves in, then fold in half (like making bias tape). Sew to hold.

• 

  Step 17

  Fold the key holder in half lenthwise and place the keyring at the fold. Place between front and back on open side and sew in place. (you'll want to go over the keyring holder piece many many times because it will have the most stress on it.

• 

  Step 18

  So the final side together and turn right side out. You're all done!!

These are so cool. I've made a few to use as a job id / money holder. Very nicely detailed tutorial.
