Hello Cuties, it’s been 2 months since I embroidered anything. When I started to make this mini composition book, I had forgotten the steps- lol
I will be needing to make 40 times 2 gifts, so 80 as trips are starting again. Therefore, if anyone has thought of something easy, fast and different to make please let me know. I do have maybe 20 left from cancelled trips and they are mostly hand sanitizer holders.In case you’re wondering about design, the flowers are so old and I was a terrible record keeper, so I don’t know. Sorry-Toogie

I am sure there are and thanks I don’t think I’ve made too many of them. If only I had a good design of FSL and felt comfortable making them.
96237Love your little notebook cover. A few months I posted the tissue holder. Many free designs out there. I have given some away and they love them. You are going to be one busy lady! Wherever you travel have a great time!

26116220244Love your notebook cover. These small books are great to keep in a purse for jotting down quick notes/reminders while on the go. That’s also a great idea to keep track of spending, and you can save receipts in the cover flaps too. We all have to watch our expenses these days.
As for new-to-them ideas, have you ever made Snap Trays? They are quite useful when staying overnight somewhere to keep track of keys, change, watches, jewelry, wallet, hearing aids, eyeglasses, etc. You can make them any size square or rectangle. Snap up the corners to create tray and lay it flat in a suitcase when not in use. Embellish with embroidery or quilting. It’s so simple, but also useful. Happy stitching!

This is such a wonderful idea. I've seen them with button and buttonhole to form the corners as well as the snaps, if snaps are not convenient to do.
Always enjoy seeing what you make.

This link is to the large vinyl snap tray I made for the guys on the trip. My hoop is only 5x7 so I only stitched the fleur de lis in the hoop, the rest was sewn with my regular sewing machine. I have a good supply of snaps so I may make some more, since I didn’t make but about 7 of these before. Thanks for the reminder.

I have made many of them and since it's mostly the same group traveling I was looking for fresh ideas. I personally think that you can never have too many zip bags because they are so useful to me. I keep little items in one in my purse, like nail clippers,eye drop vials, etc things that can get lost in the bottom of your purse. I also have one for USB sticks, for emb and another for photo usb.

115689Hi Toogie, what about those little make up roll bags like the the ones you can make if you want to put your crochet hooks in etc. Little coasters, small zipper purses, simple placemats or table runners. Just a few little ideas, love Chris
