Fabric, leather, felt, foamiran - different materials and ideas for the design of passport covers.
1. Plain soft leather passport cover
To make the simplest cover, you will need a piece of soft leather, scissors, a ruler and a pencil, a sewing machine and threads. First, draw a cover pattern on the wrong side: a large rectangle is slightly larger than the size of the opened passport and two narrow (about 5 cm wide each) along the edges. Cut out the cover detail, fold along the marked lines and sew up and down. Done!

2. Simple passport cover made of fabric
Build a pattern. Cut 2 identical pieces of fabric. At least one layer of fabric for such a cover is best reinforced with adhesive non-woven or doubler. Sew the parts, leaving a hole, cut the corners, twist, iron and sew the pockets, while also removing the cover.

3. Passport covers made of thick leather with stickers
For such covers you need thick thick skin. The fold on the skin of such a thickness may not look very neat, so it is better to carve out three separate parts. Before stitching them, glue the narrow rectangles to the large rectangle on a thin double-sided tape.To make the seam even, with the same stitches, you can use the toothed roller wheel and not too large a step, and then punch holes at the designated points with a special device or awl. Then - flash the cover using a thick needle and thick threads. At the end of the work, you can add stickers.

4. Cover for the passport in 5 minutes without a needle and thread
The easiest option is not to take up the needle and thread at all, but to cut out the cover part from a suitable material and glue it with strong glue (for example, superglue).

5. Shiny passport cover with bright lining
An option that clearly will not go unnoticed: a leather cover with a metallic sheen with a bright colorful lining. If you do not plan to process the edges of the parts, as in this case, it is better to take genuine leather and fabric that does not sprinkle. Cut 2 identical parts, fasten with clamps and sew on the machine.

8. Felt passport cover with embroidery
Here, the finished embroidery with sequins is used - it is glued to the finished cover, but you can embroider the picture yourself. Two parts of felt of different colors are glued with double-sided tape. Details for pockets are cut from felt of the third color and sewn together with a thick needle and floss.

10. Passport cover made of fabric reinforced with a pad
A fabric with a map print is a great idea for a cover for a passport. To better maintain the shape of the cover, you can use double-sided doubler, thick fabric, cardboard. Cut the part from the gasket material in size slightly larger than the dimensions of the opened passport and two identical parts from the fabric, taking into account the pockets and allowances for the seams. Iron the allowances, add gasket material, first sew a “sandwich”, then wrap the pockets and sew on top and bottom.
