  Step 1

  Take your current train pass and draw round it onto the back of the fabric. If you don't have a pass to use as a template, just measure out on the fabric the size you want it to be.

• 

  Step 2

  Add your seam allowance (I used 1cm).

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out your fabric and use it to draw round. Cut out, so you have 2 pieces of fabric the same size.

• 

  Step 4

  Iron the interfacing onto the back of your fabric pieces.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut out your pieces, from the interfacing.

• 

  Step 6

  If want to add decoration to the outside of your pass, sew/glue it on now.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut out the plastic windows from your old wallet or if you are just using regular clear plastic, cut to size.

• 

  Step 8

  Sew your windows to the inside piece of fabric. Make sure you leave the top part open so you can slide your cards in.

• Step 9

  Put your 2 pieces inside sides together. Stitch around the outside edge, leaving a gap for turning (you might want to leave quite a large gap, so you don't have to bend and dent your plastic too much). Trim off any excess fabric.

• Step 10

  Turn your pass the right way out. Hidden stitch your gap closed.

• 

  Step 11

  Top stitch round the edge of your pass to give it a move finished look. Fold your pass over and iron on the outside to crease it and keep it in place. DON'T do a me and try and iron the inside too, you'll melt your plastic windows and spoil your hard work.

• 

  Step 12

  Sit back and admire your handiwork. Safe in the knowledge that you'll have the most stylish train pass around!

I recently bought one at Paperchase, but making my own would be so much better!
