Today is a very special day for me, so I wanted to do something very special for you to help me celebrate. My daughter, Samantha, just turned 16. For everyone who's been there themselves when they turned 16 or had a daughter who did, I'm sure you know how important that is.
So, we're going to do something special and make one of our popular paid patterns free for this weekend only. Yes, that's right, FREE. As long as you download it on Craftsy this weekend, it will be free for you forever. After this weekend, the pattern will go back on sale at $6.95.
Many readers would be sort of familiar with Samantha as she's kind enough to do most of the modeling for me. (I find it hard to take pictures of myself.) You may recall this popular design and free sewing pattern for the Bell Sleeve Top.
Going away somewhere exotic or far-afield? Or maybe you just need somewhere to keep your passports and travel documents safe between trips so you’ll always know where to lay your hands on them.
This essential family travel and passport wallet pattern can hold travel documents for a family and speed you through check in and security without having to rummage through bags to find everything.

Happy Birthday to Samantha! Thank you for the lovely gift.
Happy birthday Samantha!!! I had my three girls and enjoyed lots of variety for their birthdays. The oldest chose to go to a comedy show, then a weekend with mom in Gatlinburg TN. The middle chose a shopping trip with her grandmother for a weekend. Then the youngest took a deep sea fishing trip with mom, grandma, and her best friend. Then spent a day shopping in Charleston SC on market Street. All very different, but memorable experience. Love my girls,. Now waiting for the oldest granddaughter to turn 16. Still have 4 years, but I’m planning already. Enjoy whatever you decide.
Happy Birthday, Samantha. I hope you have a beautiful, fun day.
Thanks to your Mom for this cute travel wallet.
Happy Birthday, Samantha Have a great celebration

Great Wallet,, Happy Birthday Sweet 16 to your daughter. Having five daughters, I remember when each of them turned Sweet 16,,,They each had three choices for a larger gift, a weekend w/three friends and Grandma as the chaperone at our timeshare, their very own phone w/number in their room or clothes…Of course they each chose a gift “here today, gone tomorrow”..
I think I would like to thank you and wish your daughter a happy birthday.
I think I can’t find where to download this pattern!!!???
Hi Ellie, thanks for your message. I’m not sure what you’re doing on that end but the pattern has been downloaded several tens of thousands of times over the last day or so so I’m confident all is working well. The pattern is hosted on Craftsy so you need to be able to access that site. From this page, https://so-sew-easy.com/travel-passport-wallet-pattern/, look for the orange box with the orange button. Hope that helps and kind regards, Mayra
