The morning of her trip, I decided she HAD to have a passport holder. Ok, so she didn't actually need it, but it was a fun excuse to make something different.
I had a passport lying around from when I went on my honeymoon a few years ago. I measured around the passport and added a half inch seam allowance. It's a big seam allowance, but I wanted to make sure it didn't turn out too small.
Inky Binky is left handed, so I added an elastic band on the opposite side of what I would feel comfy using. I figured she could wear this on her wrist in the airport and not have to continually open up her purse for her passport or ID. Add a (crooked) buttonhole, sew the button on and viola!
A small, but satisfying project. We were pretty busy this weekend, so this quelled my craving for something crafty.

That is so neat. =)
Thanks for the sweater sizing info, I thought her patterns were sized for newborns.
What a clever idea! And how lucky your sister is to get to go to Europe!
Did you line it with aluminum foil so that Uncle Sam wouldn't be able to read the chip she might have in her passport thus keeping tabs on her at all times? What? No, you're not paranoid fanatic like me? ;-) I do like it! And I have buttonhole envy--crooked or not!
Very cute, I'm sure she appreciated it!
What a neat idea. I'm sure your sister loved it!
Only you would come up with such a neat idea!
That's cute...I just sent away for the boys and my pass-ports (mine renewal) We are going to the Cayman islands !!! I am so excited...I'm tired of this "it's Summer...no wait it's not Summer...no wait IT IS Summer..here in NY!" I am used to VEGAS sun! So I am complaining right now!
