Do you travel handmade? And to what extent do you go to for this?
I was just pondering this, as I’ve suddenly been seized by the urge to make dozens of extra wee things, not actually for me, but for my car! Suddenly my ‘first aid kit’ needs to come out of the wee rucksack it was thrown into for a camping trip 2 years ago, and which doesn’t actually live in the car normally because it doesn’t fit anywhere neatly, to be replaced by a boxy pouch to go in the glove box, and my new sat nav needs a cosy to keep it all protected from the elements, then of course my boot needs a tidy…
1 down, 2 to go then:
Made from part of an FQ of Heather Ross that I got in a Spoonflower promo last year, and handily, there’s enough left over for the sat nav pouch tonight :oD I used the pattern for a fully lined pouch from here, and made it ever so slightly bigger.
Do you ever have this problem where you have an urge to make last minute travel ‘things’? Incidentally my main luggage is still courtesy of Argos, so I’ve a way to go yet ;o)
Is there any other time to make travel things?
Love this, Katy! The fabric, the idea – all so perfect! Hugs, Janice
That travel pouch is very cute and looks very practical, too. Love it!
Yes, I do. Last year I just had to make small shoulder bag hours before I went on vacation 🙂
My mind is boggling over the concept of a tidy boot! What do you keep in it?
I don't travel handmade because I don't travel ;o) Love the first aid pouch, though!
Very cute pouch, and at least you still travel in style courtesy of Mr Argos!
Your boxy pouch is super duper in that extra cute fabric!!
It`s just gorgeous amd love your fabric choice!
Well. Only ever at the last minute. Think I may have to plan a little better for FQR though 🙂
You'll have the cutest first aid kit in town I suspect. I cant find a bloody thing in my car due to all the jumpers, jackets and shopping bags…but if I could find the first aid kit I;d consider making something as lovely as your boxy bag.
much nicer than my chipped plastic box! !!"
It is adorable! The Heather Ross print is just perfect!
Such a cute pouch – really love that Combi van fabric!
Love that boxy pouch, but I would. Great HR use.
The only thing I have really is my make up bag when I go away is handmade, but by Ali Very Berry not by me 😉
I love it! I too get the last minute need to make travel thing…but it's fun! Can't wait to see the next item
I love your pouch!! I'm determined to travel to retreat (even if it is just across London) handmade!!
Last year I had the very last minute urge to make a family passport cover, but I think that was because I was stressing as one of the children passports still hadn't arrive 2 days before we left!!
Love the fabric! I always have the urge to make before we leave, but seldom the time or motivation 🙂 lol
Cuuuute! One week before a trip is the perrrfect time to make a ton of travel goodies, I totally agree. 😀
What a perfect fabric for your boxy pouch! It's the ideal item to take along. A big improvement over a rucksack!
I tend to think I can live without; make loads, then decide to make more the night before!!
I want to make all these bags and zipper pouches but then they all add weight to the luggage so I stck to ziplock bags. Boring I know.
