If you've been here for a while, you may remember before we moved here three years ago, I prepared a "mini stash" to see me through the upheaval of the move. I'm not a stitcher who "kits up" lots of projects in advance, however in this instance, I decided to put together a bunch of small projects to have available in case I was separated from my precious hoard for too long. As it turned out, the move went smoothly and we got quarters right away (thankfully), so I didn't end up needing it desperately.
This move... well, it's another story. It doesn't appear things are going to fall into place as we had hoped, so I may be stashless for some time. Which we're not going to dwell on. What we are going to dwell on is my fabulous new stitching bag.
Last time, I placed each project in a very fancy ziplock bag and tucked them all in a tote bag. I was so fancy. This time, I am fancy beyond words. Behold, the glory of this bag!
Inside front and first "page" (*flips the page*)
First and second pages (*flip*)
Third and fourth pages (velcro closures)
Fourth page and inside back (more velcro closures)
This will give you a good idea of the size. That's an 11" x 12.5" q-snap lying flat in the back of the bag.
It's also nice and wide.
And here she is, fully loaded and ready for whatever moving-related nonsense lies ahead! It's really more like a small, soft-sided suitcase (size wise) than a stitching bag. It holds a ton of stuff.
I got this bag on Amazon (Earthwise Arts & Crafts Storage Bag Organizer with 17 compartments). This size also comes in red, and I believe there is a smaller size, so if you're browsing, make sure about the size you want.
I always overestimate how much stitching I'll get done in situations like this, but it's nice to know I can dive into my mini stash at any moment and have a lot of projects to choose from, all neatly organized and ready to go.
Happy Stitching!
I have this same bag it is great! 🙂 Thank you for the links to the Ukraine stitchers in your previous post, I bought from each seller. 😊 I hope your upcoming move goes smoothly. We retired from the USAF 13 years ago. We went all over the place. 😩 😁 Its fun but sometimes it isn’t. Happy Stitching.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great bag. It is perfect for your situation. I hope the move goes more smoothly than you expect. I know my son's furniture was several days late when he moved from PA to CA in January.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice bag, thanks for the info.

What an awesome looking bag! As always Honeybee, thank you for sharing details with pictures and the information about where to get it. I am praying that it is a smooth move for you and yours.
ReplyDeleteI also noted that eBay has same one (new) for a tad less with free shipping..
ReplyDeletePraying you through, Honeybee, with the hope you will find a bright light at
the end of the tunnel.
Love that bag! I don't travel a lot so I'll just admire it from afar:) Hope the move turns out well.
ReplyDeleteI love this bag!!!! I am afraid it would get super dirty in my world... but it's so pretty & organized!!!!! You should show us the "organized" version also!!! Hope the move goes smoothly!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoneybee: This is an amazing bag.
