Step 12Trim Excess Binding
Use a hot knife to trim the last of the binding tape. The hot knife will fuse the stitches to the binding tape so you don't require locking stitches. This can also be done with scissors and a lighter. You can also fold over the excess and stitch it down to lock the tape.
Congratulations! You've completed your Airline Ticket Jacket.
Fold the cover carefully. It will take a few uses before the vinyl creases properly. Depending on the thickness of the cardboard used, the jacket will lose its stiffness. It will still protect your tickets, but you may want to consider building a new jacket.

I have an idea to help keep from having to make a new jacket. make the cardboard replaceable. By having a large slit through which it can be replaced. just an idea.

That is a good idea. I'm concerned about how to treat the edges of the slit since this will be beat up pretty good during travel. You can always slip the replacement cardboard into the inside pocket to return the structural integrity of the jacket.
