Tool Time Tuesday...Sewing/Craft Kit To Go
Happy Tuesday all! I was away for most of the weekend at my first quilting retreat. I can't thank Tina enough for inviting me. I had a great time and met so many wonderful people. I'll share a few pictures later this week.
What I do want to share for this week's Tool Time is what I carried all my sewing goodies in to the retreat. I borrowed my daughter Kelsie's travel hanging toiletry organizer. Travel bags come in many different styles, so anything would work great.
Hanging toiletry bags are great for storing all your crafting and sewing needs when you are taking a class, going to a retreat or even just going to a friend's house for a day of sewing, crafting or scrap booking.
The bag just rolls up and is easy to carry.
Once you unroll them, it shows all the pockets and storage places.
The top pocket is wide and deep, so I stored all my thread and the pill box that carries all my small goodies.
Bobbins, needles, tape measure, safety pins and pins.
The next pocket held all my rotary cutting needs and finger pincushion. Click here for pincushion ring tutorial
The next big pocket held all my scissors. I stored them in eye glass cases, so the point wouldn't go through the plastic.
The last big pocket held a lot...extension cords, surge bar and some extra projects.
The best part about using a travel cosmetic/toiletry bag is that they usually have a built in hanger. The hook is for hanging the bag in the bathroom of your hotel, but not for us. This bag hangs perfectly on the back of the chair in your class or retreat.
Always handy, but out of the way to keep your work surface clear.
When you're done, just roll it up, tie it closed and you're ready to go...or should I say ready to "sew"!
It's a great place to store all your things and easy to carry too.
Since I've been gone since Friday, I'll catch up on my emails and comments on Tuesday and Wednesday. I read them all...just takes time to respond to each one!
