The Tidy Travel Tote – Newborn sewing series

I started my TTT on a Monday. I watched Gail’s Youtube Sew Along day by day. The Sew Along videos made the process of sewing super enjoyable and not overwhelming.

I used what fabric and supplies I had on hand. If you sew non-clothing items regularly, then chances are you have all the supplies needed. The only part I was missing was enough fabric. As it was a gift from a friend I couldn’t get more, sigh! So, no matching changing mat yet! I’m sure plan blue or pink would work just fine.

I really enjoyed Day 2  – Gail’s method of sewing the curved flap and wipes pouch curve, in one step is way better than pinning and cutting, pinning and sewing fiddly pieces together (Timestamp 9.25 )

I made a fabric option adjustment using PUL for the lining of my optional inside pocket pouch. Like a mini wet bag for soiled clothes or a cloth nappy. It wasn’t the easiest fabric to sew seeing it has a waterproof backing. My one sewing friend recommended tissue paper and that solved the stitch skipping issue.

I really loved making my TTT for my daughter on the way. My next sew in the “Newborn series” is the Itty Bitty! Stay tuned.

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 11

This weeks Challenge: Something Green (Accepted)

 

A friend from work is having a baby soon and I wanted to make a few things for her, and this weeks something green theme matched perfectly with some leaf print drill that I have been wanting to sew up for awhile so I decided to complete both goals and make a Tidy Travel Tote for my friend. If you haven’t made one of these before they are great! Small and compact enough to fit in my handbag but big enough to hold wipes, nappies, a change of clothes and a few extra bits like creams.

 

 

And the handle is detachable/adjustable so it can be clipped onto a pram or bag handle if it’s too big to fit inside your handbag.

 

 

I can’t wait to give this one to my friend!

 

Happy Sewing xx
