Felt passport cover

The owl print is one of the most relevant and in demand among young people today. The image of this feathered beauty can be found on a variety of items: clothes, bags, hair accessories, jewelry, and dishes. In the world of needlework, craftsmen are increasingly using the image of an owl to create their products. So we could not ignore this topic. “Owl” is the name of our master class on sewing a passport cover from felt fabric. The figurine of a wise bird will become the “highlight” of your document.



Even a beginner in this type of needlework can make such a product. The list of materials required for the work and detailed step-by-step instructions for making a passport cover are presented to the readers below.

Preparatory stage.
To make a passport cover we will need the following materials and tools:
• felt in five different colors;
• embroidery threads (floss);
• needle;
• pins;
• scissors;
• paper;
• pencil;
• ruler.
Instructions for making a passport cover with the “Owl” applique

We sew a cover.
1. Take measurements from your passport. Make a pattern for the base of the cover.To do this, add 10 centimeters in width to the resulting dimensions. This is necessary in order to make folds (5 cm on each side). Add 0.5 centimeters at the top and bottom of the pattern. For example, a document has a size of 12x18 cm. We cut out the blank: width 5 cm + 18 cm + 5 cm + 28 cm, height 0.5 cm + 12 cm + 0.5 cm = 13 cm. So the main part of the cover should measure 28x13 centimeters . Fold the sides over and pin them.



2. Sew one side of the cover using a 2 needle forward seam (stitches). Insert your passport to double-check that the measurements and pattern are correct.



3. Sew the other side. The document cover is ready. Let's start making decor for it.



We make an applique from felt fabric in the form of an owl figurine.
1. On paper, draw templates of all the details of the application.



2. Transfer the patterns to felt in the colors of your choice and cut them out.



3. Sew the tummy detail onto the main part of the applique (torso).



4. Attach the beak next.



5. Using black thread, embroider eyelashes on the eye details. Our owl is a Scops Owl, so her eyes are closed.



6. Sew the eyes to the body, overlaying them slightly on the upper edge of the beak part.

7. The heart is attached last.
The “Owl” figurine is made of felt fabric.
We decorate the cover with applique
1. Place the applique on the right side of the cover and sew with stitches. On the wrong side, secure the thread with a knot and cut.
2. Insert your passport into the case. The work is finished.
