I have finished my travel document holder... a pattern by Anni Downs in her book Some Kind of Wonderful...
.... and I have filled it with the things I need to take....
instead of magnetic holders I used snap fasteners....
I made some extra ones for the pressie bag.....
..... still trying to get some giftie sewing done........ whilst being carefully watched of course!
.... I have packed one bag so far.....
...... but I haven't started on any clothes yet! .....
my eldest daughter turns 30 the day we arrived....so a very special gift has been made.....
.... here's a clue .......
Righto, Gotto Go...... 3 sleeps to go..... or rather 3 nights of not much sleeping to go....
Taking one bag of presents. mmmm Does that mean you hope to bring home one bag of presents or just do a lot of shopping????

These are beautiful! I have to get my hands on that book, I need one of these for my business trips. I thought the book was a quilt pattern though?
ReplyDeleteNope, I don't know what the pressie is and I don't think I know where you're going? Have I not been paying attention?
Oh, and how do you set snaps??? I can't do it!
