While I was traveling, I bought a craft bag that holds my crocheting exceptionally well. It stands by itself. It has pockets. It controls my yarn better then any yarn bowl has. I started doing much more hand sewing when I got home.
I decided to give making one of my own craft bags a go. I chose not to use any zippers but I had a fun pinecone button. Also, the colors I chose actually please me more then the bag I purchased.
A bit of time on my sewing machine and I had one. The time it took felt like less time then a market bag but that may just be due the bag being something new.
I am very pleased. I use it everyday for my projects. When I traveled recently, I put a crochet project and a hand sewing project into. Nothing too large but I was only gone for about 48 hours. It was a good size because it gave me choices of projects to work on but I did not bring too much. I am notorius for bringing too many projects and books while traveling. Anything that helps to limit that quantity is a good thing!
I have started to put some in my shop here and my Etsy shop.
