I've been missing in action for a little while. Scheduled posts kept the blog going, while I travelled to the other side of the country for a wedding. If you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen a few pics already. Knowing I'd have a little spare time some evenings, I took my travel sewing kit with me.
The bag itself is the Retro Reticule, which is actually intended as more of an evening bag. With the three compartments, one being zippered, it's also perfect to use as a travel sewing kit. I always have it packed with supplies for making hexies, so it's ready to grab and throw in my handbag as I run out the door.
For my trip away the kit travelled in my luggage, taking up next to no room at all. Space was at a premium thanks to all the clothes I took for the wedding - outdoors on an Autumn evening meant taking layers of warm clothes, good shoes and a handbag, as well as clothes for the rest of the visit.
So what's in my travel sewing kit...
- thread - good quality for joining the hexies
- small pair of scissors
- Clover wonder clip
- hexie templates
- fabric pre-cut
A friend gave me this tiny sewing kit years ago, and it's fabulous for holding...
- needles
- safety pins
- thread - not good quality for basting the hexies.
If I needed them, I could easily add a few pins, too.
I stayed in the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula. The beaches are simply stunning!!! Not that I went anywhere near the water.
Only the surf board riders were game enough to brave the cold.
Despite the appearance of the sun in the two beach photos, it was cold, wet and windy for most of my stay. The wedding took place in the grounds of The Old Church, at Sellicks Beach - a beautiful venue. The days on either side of the wedding were miserable (weather wise), but amazingly the rain held off for most of the special day.
Towards the end of the visit, I did manage to sew a few hexie flowers, so I'm glad I took my Retro Reticule sewing kit. Here's a few more ideas for travel sewing kits...
- Zippered Sewing Case
- Travel Sewing Kit - with 4 zippered pockets
- Zakka Style Sewing Kit
- Travel Sewing Kit - with the properties of Mary Poppin's magical bag
- Felt Travel Sewing Kitty
- Travel Sewing Kit - utilises old jeans
- Travel Sewing Kit - wallet style
- Travel Sewing Kit Made from a Clutch
- Sewing Kit
- Travel Size Sewing Kit - made from sunglasses case

Those beaches look stunning Pam! How great that the weather held for the wedding too. I hope that photo is not of your wedding outfit :)
ReplyDeleteI used to carry my hand sewing in the ubiquitous ziplock bag, but have since upgraded to a much smarter fabric bag.
Congratulations for the wedding may you always join happyevents.
ReplyDeleteI do not have a traveling sewing kit , but do always have my knitting qcrochet with me ,,,
I have a teensy mending kit just like yours. My Dana, now 32, bought it for me when she was on a cousin's camping trip with Grandma 23 years ago. It is a precious treasure.

I love your mini sewing kit, sew pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful area for a wedding! With our reversed seasons, we are looking forward to warm weather but are having the same cold rainy weather as you right now.
ReplyDeleteLoved looking at all the travel sewing kit ideas. I find that my needs are different depending on what kind of hand sewing I'm doing at any given time. It was great to find other ideas for smaller kits which is something I find I need lately. Thanks, once again, for some great ideas and beautiful photos.
The bride and groom are lucky that they had good weather - with the poor weather the day before they must have been biting their knuckles a bit! Lovely beach pictures - I'm not fond of the sun or heat so the cool days wouldn't have made me unhappy :D My favourite sewing kit is a cat eyeglass case that a friend gave me years ago - it's the perfect size to tuck in a bag with whatever project I take along in the car for road trips :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! It's so cute! Beautiful pictures too of the beach. Too bad it is not warmer. Hope you enjoyed the wedding and your trip away! We are going to Tennessee in a few weeks. I don't think my family will allow any sewing-and honestly, I need a break! ;) Plus, I don't think I have anything small enough to work on! LOL FYI...I've chose this post as my feature on Friday at Pinbellish. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWow, those beaches look amazing, I don't think I could have let the weather put me off, but then I do have a big weak spot for cold water (and weather!) swimming - good thing given where we live! Recently I've been taking wool and a crochet hook with me whilst on the go as I try and improve my (lack of) skills there. But I am itching to get some hexies on the go again. I watched a film the other day which had a lovely hexie quilt in it - just random piecing and I think I need a long term project of making myself one!

ReplyDeleteThings don't always go according to plan, so be prepared to be flexible. Leave some room in your itinerary for unexpected detours or changes. Keep your valuables and important documents like your passport and travel insurance in a safe place. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid unsafe areas. Bring a mobile phone or other device with you and make sure you have a way to stay connected to the internet. This can be helpful for finding your way around, keeping in touch with friends and family, and accessing important information.Silicone Baby Bibs

ReplyDeleteWhen travelling through smog, one may experience difficulty in breathing, eye irritation, and other health issues. Moreover, smog can reduce visibility, making it difficult to drive or navigate through an area.
ReplyDeleteHowever, travelling through the smog can also serve as a reminder of the impact of human activity on the environment. Smog is often caused by the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities, and it is a stark reminder of the need to reduce our carbon footprint and move towards sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

ReplyDeleteWow! I absolutely love your travel sewing kit contents, especially the fact that it's dedicated to Italy! As someone who adores traveling and sewing, this combination is simply perfect. Italy is known for its exquisite fashion and elegant craftsmanship, so having a sewing kit dedicated to this beautiful country is a great way to show appreciation for its cultural heritage.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the delightful items you might have in your kit. Perhaps you have a collection of colorful Italian threads in various shades inspired by the countryside or the vibrant streets of Rome. I bet you also have small scissors adorned with intricate Italian designs, making every snip feel like a work of art.
No travel sewing kit dedicated to Italia would be complete without a selection of Italian-themed buttons. Whether they're inspired by the charming gondolas of Venice or the iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, these buttons will add a touch of Italian flair to any sewing project.

The travel sewing kit you mentioned was compact and practical for your trip, with the Retro Reticule bag being a clever choice for repurposing as a sewing kit holder. It provided a mix of high-quality thread for hexies and lesser-quality thread for basting, ensuring good thread for temporary stitches. The kit also included needles, safety pins, and additional thread for unexpected repairs or alterations. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, the wedding at The Old Church was beautiful, and the stunning scenery provided a picturesque backdrop for the festivities. The kit's compact design made it easy to organize thread, scissors, and hexie templates, making them neat and accessible throughout the travels. The small pair of scissors and Clover wonder clip made it easy to work on hexies during downtime. The Fleurieu Peninsula's beaches provided a picturesque backdrop for the wedding festivities, and the skies cleared just in time for the vows. Overall, the travel sewing kit proved to be an invaluable companion, allowing the happy couple to indulge in their passion for crafting amidst the hustle and bustle of wedding preparations and unpredictable weather. deadly motorcycle accident virginia beach

The sensory experiences of travel are also an essential part of what makes it so enriching. The taste of exotic foods, the scent of unfamiliar spices in the air, the sounds of a bustling marketplace, or the sight of a breathtaking landscape—all these sensory inputs combine to create a tapestry of memories that linger long after the trip is over. Each destination has its own unique sensory signature, and by immersing ourselves in it, we gain a deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of the world. These sensory experiences not only heighten our awareness of our surroundings but also deepen our emotional connection to the places we visit. The flavors, scents, and sounds of a place become intertwined with our memories, creating a lasting impression that we carry with us.Indiaflights
