As I have been starting to prepare for my trip to Austin for Quilt Con next week, I figured one thing that I was really in need of was a little travel sew kit.
I found this great tutorial that was so easy and clear to follow. She has such a great overall blog that I was so happy to find through my google search.
I love a little project that is quick and easy. The girls and I spent the afternoon yesterday cleaning my our sewing room and organizing all the fabric. It felt so great to finally have some clean spaces to work on that I was inspired to stay up till midnight last night nearly finishing this little project.
I really love how it turned out and it was so great to use up some more of my favorite scraps.
Now I have plans to make some for all the girls teachers for end of the year gifts. For once I may actually be ahead of the game!!!
Now to figure out a new handmade tote for all my larger supplies needed for workshops I’ll be taking at Quilt Con. I’m getting really excited! Have a great week all!
I’m linking up with Nicole’s Keep Calm And Craft On Tuesday over at Frontier Dreams!

Karen, This is fabulous. I love it – the multicolor-pattern scraps. I’m so happy for you going to quilt con. Can’t wait to hear all about it. How inspiring it will be! Love you, Caroline
Yes! I like the blue green header!… and a great little grab to go bag too. Have a wonderful time.
Thanks for the tutorial. I was thinking a Weekender for the larger supplies; but wasn’t sure if that was too bulky. Maybe AMH’s Art Student Tote would be better. Maybe I’ll run into you at QuiltCon.
Very cute sewing case. Have a blast on your trip ; )
Karen- your case looks great! I think I will try to modify your idea to make a little case for my knitting supplies. Have a great trip!
I am so happy that you will be at QuiltCon! My mother and I are going — we have lecture passes for Thursday and Saturday, but didn’t get into any workshops. We will certainly keep an eye out for you! p.s. I just love this sewing kit
great travel kit!, thanks for the link to the tutorial.
Enjoy Quiltcon, i wish i was going. However after just come back from Australia for three months it was not really an option. i shall live vicariously through you all. And hope you take many pictures! (please)
