My Creative Space: have sewing will travel

My creative space this week has been all about travelling. Suddenly I see all sorts of crafting opportunities from wash bags to shoe storage, from camera cases to travel sewing kits.

I saw a most fantastic camera case on one of my daily Etsy Finds emails, I experimented in replicating it to some extent, kind of worked, kind of didn't. I'll show it to you later.

I really can't go away without taking a little bit of sewing with me, really I can't. So I have just made this travel sewing pouch. Its a little fold up number with two felt pieces for pins and needles and two pockets for other little bits of equipment.


My scissors are quite sharp on the tip so I sewed a little felt pouch for them to sit in. A little bit of embroidery taken from the fabric pattern makes it look fancier than it really is.


There you go, sewing and travel all wrapped up.

I was the same when I went away to Tasmania a couple of weeks ago, I had to take some sewing with me. The pouch you made looks great and big enough for your bits and pieces. Happy travelling.:)

That is one snazzy sewing pouch. Wish I was that organised!

I agree, snazzy stuff! Just sitting here calculating how many craft pouches I could justify making and how I would tackle the one for the granny blanket in 167 bits...(I do tend to go a bit overboard).

Way classie than the zip lock bag that I haul around. And I bet those sharp little scissors won't easily make an escape route?
