Travel Pouch

Travelling has become part and puzzle of our life. May it be a long holiday or a short getaway, packing is always a headache.This is specially true for females travelers. There is so little we try to take , but there is still so much to take. Clothes to match, cosmetics, shoes, lingerie, care products and it goes on and on.
This is a very simple pouch I made out of my old (yet new) top. I will use it for lingerie and hygiene pad products.

(I forgot to take a photo of the top) it is a basic top with long sleeve and high neck where I could tie a bow behind. The cotton is soft, but it is really too small now. and it is quite new.

I pins the bottom portion and cut across to get a rectangular piece.( keeping the bottom where it is folded and seam .- this will be the top of the pouch) I used my old one as an estimate.

But generally it should be slightly wider than the bra width and deeper. 

As the sleeves is of lace material , I cut 2 smaller rectangles for pocket inside.

 I will sew each smaller rectangle to the bigger rectangle (the side where it is suppose to be inside of the pouch). sew 3 sides only. 

( *keep the side along with the seam unsew)

Then, sew the sides of the big rectangle where we cut. ( the pockets should be showing)

Recently I bought a roller cutter and a plastic sheet from Diaso. Just roll and cut, simple, magical! Only S$2 each! even the round pin box is from Diaso. It has a magnetic base! I could find my pins easily after each used. I love Diaso.

Now, cut a small slit at the folded end and string a ribbon/string thru' it. The yellow cutter is from Diaso too. the puller is from some sewing shop, but Diaso has it too, something similiar. I think I saw it.
