LOVE the Chicago Flag. What a great idea. I never would have thought to make a passport cover. What a nice disguise when traveling abroad. Maybe sew it to a band to wear around neck like those security pouches for keeping your passport safe while traveling

Kathy, I got inspired and made a cover a few days ago – right before I went on a trip. I used blue linen and white/pinkish fabric for the add ons. Making the cover was great fun and showing it at the airport even more. Thanks for sharing your ideas! Nicole

@Bry :: Thanks so much for sharing your story. Good on ya for not hiding while overseas. You did Chicago proud!! I’ll keep my eye out for those pins. Lovely Bakery on Milwaukee also has cute Chicago coffee mugs in case you can’t get enough of the light blue and red…

Hello, I was searching for information on the Chicago flag, and, well, look at the nice thing I found. This is beautiful. In recent years, when I have traveled, I have not worn a US Flag lapel pin. Neither did I wear a Canadian flag as the coward way’s out. I wore a Chicago Flag pin and, boy, did I get into a lot of interesting and funny conversations about it! These pins are available in different places around and about in Chicago.

This is a lovely idea. I’m thinking of making one for myself (even though my passport rarely leaves the safe anymore).

I’ve heard speculation that if Chicago hosts the 2016 Olympics, that the flag would get a 5th star. History!
