How to Sew a Faux Leather Passport Holder Using Cricut
I travel internationally about once a year and thought I would make a faux leather passport holder using Cricut. I chose an access pattern that I enlarged to the dimensions of 8″ x 6″. Then, I created two rectangles using 4″ x 6″ measurements for the inside pockets. I chose two inside pockets because I carry two passports. This was a super simple sewing and Cricut project.

I used pebbled faux leather that I purchased at JOANN Fabric & Craft Stores. You could head to Cricut.com or to Amazon to purchase leather or faux leather.

Step 5: Make the Two Rectangles
Make the two rectangles in the same way.
Step 6: Make the Single Rectangle

Step 7: Put it all Together
Layer the four pieces of faux leather. Place the outside holder right sides down. Place the large rectangle right sides up on the outer holder. Then, place the the pocket pieces on each side. Clip all the pieces together using wonder clips. Stitch all the way around through all layers. You have now finished your faux leather passport holder using Cricut.
