Maternity and Child Health Handbook Case [Perfect Fit for Passbooks Too]

Maternity and Child Health Handbook Case [Perfect Fit for Passbooks Too]

Here’s an idea for a multi-case that lets you keep your child’s items—such as the maternal and child health handbook, bankbook, personal seal, and clinic cards—organized in one place.

Cards can be inserted vertically, which also helps prevent them from falling out when you take them out.

To make it, first sew the flap fabric to the outer fabric of the main body.

Make a card holder from a separate piece of fabric and sew it onto the lining of the main body, then attach the outer fabric.

Create the divider from another piece of fabric and sew it to the main body, then add snap buttons to the flap to finish.

Despite its compact size, it has excellent storage capacity, making it a very practical case!

Let’s make a maternity and child health handbook holder using a clear file, like a simple craft project.

First, trim off the excess parts of the clear file so it matches A4 size.

Draw a line down the center, then draw two lines on each side at 5 mm intervals.

Next, add one more line on each side, leaving a 1 cm gap from the previous ones.

Cut out the section between the outermost line and the line next to it, and crease along the remaining lines.

Insert an A4 sheet with a pattern you like inside, then tape around the edges so the paper doesn’t slip out.

Next, punch holes in the rectangular areas where you made the creases, thread a cord through, and attach a pouch with a zipper, then tie it.

Punch a hole in the center as well and thread an elastic band to fasten the holder.

Decorate it cutely with lace or other embellishments, and you’re done!

Why not try making a multi-purpose pouch with a zipper pocket? It’s very handy because you can store items you don’t want to lose.

This one also has a 3 cm gusset, which is great for holding slightly bulkier items.

Materials include outer fabric and lining for the body, a zipper, zipper pocket lining, and fabric for card pockets.

Sew these together to make the pouch, attach a plastic snap to fasten the flap to the body, and you’re done.

You’ll need a ruler at some point in the process, so have one ready.

[100-yen shop] No-sew maternity and child health handbook case

For those who say, “I’m really bad at all kinds of crafts…,” this no-sew maternity and child health handbook cover is highly recommended.

You only use items from a 100-yen shop, so it’s very budget-friendly.

It takes about 20–30 minutes, so it’s great even if you’re busy.

What you’ll need: a store-bought medicine notebook case, a napkin or handkerchief with a pattern you like, and strong double-sided tape.

First, cut the napkin to the size of the case and use double-sided tape to join it into a tube.

Attach it to the case like a book cover and stick it down.

When you do this, you’ll be making a flap, so leave a little extra fabric on the right side before adhering.

Attach a snap button to the flap and you’re done! Your store-bought case has transformed into something cute!

A patchwork multi-case: it can store not only a maternity and child health handbook but also a medication notebook and more.
