A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #MSQCSHOWANDTELL #SallieTomato  #TravelerBag

Hi friends! I've made the most perfect bag for traveling adventures ... the Traveler Bag is designed by Sallie Tomato exclusively for Missouri Star Quilt Co .   This bag will carry all of your essential items and has such fun details!  To make sewing the bag easier - there is an exclusive kit available at Missouri Star Quilt Co plus an instructional video. I looooooove this kit!

The Traveler Bag measures  8-1/2" x 6" x 3/4" finished and features a passport holder, ID pocket, exterior slip pocket, an interior zipper pocket, and card pockets.

The kit has everything you need to get started! Pattern, postage stamp cork, brown faux leather, lining, fusible interfacing, vinyl, two sizes of zippers and all the hardware.

My tips for making your Traveler Bag

  • Purchase the kit. It is so nice to have everything included so you can start sewing right away!
  • Watch the Traveler's Bag video on the Missouri Star YouTube Channel. The video is super helpful! Sew along with video ... just pause the video for each step. 
  • 40 wt Polyester Thread is my favorite for bag construction.
  • 90/14 needle

Luau Circle Bag - ready for sunshine!

A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #SallieTomato #CircleBag

It might be cold and snowy outside, but sewing the Circle Bag pattern by Sallie Tomato with the fabulous Luau cork fabric made my sewing room feeling like I'm on a summer island vacation :).  I really love sewing with Sallie Tomato cork fabric because the quality is fabulous!

All of the supplies I used to sew my Luau Circle Bag, I purchased at Sallie Tomato (here).  The Circle Bag Pattern is a FREE pattern that includes a free instructional video too!

Circle Bag Supplies - available at Sallie Tomato (here)
The Circle Bag pattern and hardware kit includes a tassel cap. Just use a Luau cork fabric scrap to make your tassel.
Tassels are soooooo easy to make and look so fabulous! I love the added detail!

Now I need a tropical vacation so I can use my new bag!!! I think it totally makes sense to plan a vacation to match my bag ;).
