10 Travel Bags for Sewing Retreats

I decided to share my favorite bag sewing patterns across the internet, that would be perfect for taking with to a sewing retreat or sewing class. Even though we won’t be doing any sewing at Sew Pro (because it’s a lecture-style convention), I thought many of these bags would be great to take along on the trip! Sew Pro is the convention that I am co-hosting in Chicago this September. This event is perfect for both those that want to break into the sewing industry in a professional capacity (write patterns for a magazine, design a fabric line, author a book, start a blog, create a sewing pattern line, etc.) OR are already in the industry but need help in certain areas (for instance, have already authored a book but want to start a pattern line and need help with social media). Also, we have some amazing teachers lined up, which you can find on the Sew Pro website!

So let’s kick off my list of my top 10 Travel Bags, in no particular order!

The Noodlehead Maker’s Tote is great to take some hand sewing or craft projects with you on the plane. Available in two sizes, tailor it to your artful projects!

What better to sit pretty on the counter of the bathroom in your hotel room than my Crimson and Clover Train Cases? Perfect for all your hair products, make-up, whatever!

The Cozy Nest Rollie Pollie Organizer is perfect for taking cosmetics or sewing tools with you and hanging them over a sewing table or in the bathroom at your hotel. The zippered pouches are also removable, making them especially handy!

What better carry-on bag for your flight than the Betz White Weekend Duffle Craftsy class. This video class will take you through every step of the way of making this great bag!

The Emmaline Bags Necessary Clutch Wallet (this sample sewn by Veronica of sewVery) is a wallet staple. If you’re making a new bag to take to an event, of course you need a new wallet!

Take notes at Sew Pro with a beautiful storage space for your notebook and pens…my Creative Maker Supply Cases, available in 3 different sizes in one sewing pattern.

Bring your laptop along to the event in the Swoon Dorian Messenger Bag. Side strap and top handle make it easy to tote around.

Another fantastic way to take along all of your belongings is the Sewing Patterns by Mrs. H. Weekender Travel Bag. This sample is clearly travel-bound!

And you’ll certainly need a new purse…what about…

The Chris W. Designs City Slicker

or the Noodlehead Super Tote?
