Make a travel pouch in 20 minutes | madam sew, make a travel pouch in 20 minutes.

This week I have a really easy, fast, and scrap-busting little project for you! I like to dive into my fabric stash to try to find the perfect match for a project like this.

This useful little pouch can help you to organize your purse, lunch bag, or you can use it to store your toothbrush and toothpaste, to store your take-away cutlery set and napkin, or for taking some craft tools with you wherever you might go. In addition, the pouch is easy to wash..

It definitely makes a great little handmade gift! You can make it in different sizes– But the size in this tutorial works both for a standard plastic cutlery set or a normal toothbrush with a tube of toothpaste. Check the size of your cutlery or toothbrush before you start cutting so that you get the right size. If it isn’t quite right, just add an inch in length and/or width.

These pouches can even sell for 16 dollars a piece on Etsy!

So, if you are looking for a beginner friendly project this is it! The only hard thing is the edge topstitching. Keeping a straight line at ⅛” can be a bit of a challenge.

To begin, gather your basic sewing tools, a snap button or a little piece of velcro, 2 matching fabric pieces 3 ½ by 19 inch, some thread, and off we go!

1. Cut the fabrics and fusible interfacing: cut two pieces of fabric and one piece of interfacing all measuring 3 ½ by 19 inches.

2. Iron the fusible interfacing to one of the fabrics, to make the pouch a little sturdier. Want to make ironing your fabric easier? Check out our wonderful bestselling wool pressing mat!

3. Pin the 2 fabric pieces together, right sides facing. Leave a 1 ½” turning hole in one of the long sides.

4. Sew all around at ¼”. I’m using the ¼” quilting foot with guide from our store. Perfect to keep a straight seam

5. Clip the corners.

6. Turn inside out though the turning hole. Push out the corners with an awl.

7. Press the seams so everything is neat and flat.

8. Fold over the top, leaving a flap at the top edge- this will become the closure on the finished pouch. Press again.

9. Edgestitch all around, closing the 2 long sides. If you have one, I would strongly advise to use an edge joining foot to get nice even edge stitches

10. Add a snap button in the flap. We sell 2 snap button sets in our shop: plastic snap buttons and metal snap buttons .

I timed it. Making the second pouch only took me 18 minutes! Everything was in place when I started, so I gathered the material I needed and set up my iron and sewing machine. Threading my machine with black thread also happened in those 18 minutes :-).

Happy sewing! An MadamSew blogger and content manager Follow us on Facebook , Instagram , YouTube and Pinterest !

DIY Travel Pouch Tutorial with Vintage Adventure Fabric

*fabric for these diy travel pouches was provided by riley blake designs , but the project and opinions are all mine..

I have been doing a little bit of traveling this summer and while I have plenty of zipper pouches on hand, I found myself wishing I had a set that all coordinated together. And then I realized that I had the perfect opportunity with my post on the Vintage Adventure Fabric blog tour!! What better use for this adventure themed fabric?? Bev from Flamingo Toes had knocked it out of the park with her debut line with Riley Blake. The colors, darling themes and fun prints make this a line that is both versatile and vibrant. I am sure there will be more projects out of this fabric coming soon!

I started off with the middle size DIY Travel pouch – which is my makeup pouch tutorial you can find over on Polkadot Chair . Then I made a bigger version, which also has a laminated inside and vinyl coated bottom, and a smaller fully cotton version.

This Pattern is now available in my Etsy shop. Find the pattern here .

I love that they all nestle inside each other, which makes them super handy for storing when I’m not out on the road.

I love that these DIY travel pouches will hold almost anything I could want for my trips . And they MATCH!! I’m so happy about that it’s ridiculous! 😉

I can’t wait to put these DIY travel pouches to good use, now I just need to decide where to take them first!

Do you have your Vintage Adventure fabric yet? What are you planning on making with yours? Let me know in a comment below!

7 DIY Travel Bag Patterns So You Can Travel In Style

Have you ever noticed that when you are shopping for various travel bags, there are two options? You can get cheaply made nylon bags or extremely overpriced “bland” looking bags. 

But how do we get around these two options? The answer is simple: DIY travel bags.

Today, I want to go over the different types of travel bags and supplies and how to create them, and then show you some beautiful travel bag patterns that you can use to create your traveling accessories. 

Page Contents

Types of Travel Bags

Before we jump into the how-to or the patterns list, I want to go over the different kinds of bags categorized as “travel bags.” Remember that this post focuses on travel bags you can create, not factory-made luggage. 

• Jewelry bag
• Toiletry bag
• Garment bag
• Travel tote
• Backpack 

Supplies You Will Need to Make Your Own Travel Bag

The supplies you will need will vary depending on the specific item you are making. The following list will include various notions and supplies you will need to make different travel bags.

• Travel bag sewing pattern
• Interfacing for structure
• Trimming (optional for decoration)
• Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
• Sewing machine

How Do You Make a Travel Bag?

Now that we know the different types of travel bags and the supplies we may need to create them let’s go over the steps of making a travel bag.

I recommend using a pattern when doing a project like this since it will have detailed instructions for the different steps. These are essential steps to give you an idea of what’s involved when making a large bag.

• Step 1: Choose a pattern

When looking for the perfect pattern, you want to make sure you are looking for one that is within your skill level and will meet your traveling needs. There are thousands of travel bag patterns available on the market, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding something that will work for you. 

• Step 2: Cut all fabric and interfacing pieces

The pattern you choose either has specific cutting instructions or may even come with templates you can use to cut the fabric pieces you will need. Remember the age-old tip: “measure twice, cut once.”

• Step 3: Attach notions to the fabric pieces

Where you add the notions will vary depending on which ones you are using and when the pattern tells you to add them. I wanted to include this so you can think about when you need to add them. There’s nothing more frustrating than realizing you forgot to add a D-ring or other notions and have to take apart part of your project and add it. *Speaking from personal experience*

• Step 4: Sew the exterior pieces together

The pattern writer will do a great job of explaining how to do this step. Ensure you keep your raw edges lined up at all times to ensure an even seam allowance.

• Step 5: Create and attach the straps

This is a fun step; you can make straps from various materials like canvas, leather, quilting cotton, denim, nylon strapping, etc. Some patterns will have you attach the straps before you sew the lining and exterior parts together. Others will have you connect them to the exterior first.

• Step 6: Sew the lining pieces together

This step will be where you add pockets for the bag’s interior and create the lining. I like to use a fun, funky fabric inside my bags. It gives it a little more personality and pizazz. 

Tip: If you use a weekender bag pattern and want a sizeable wide-open bag, you can skip creating a lining. To conceal the raw edges of the exterior parts, take bias tape and sew it along all the raw edges. This will give the bag a more finished look; plus, when you wash it, the edges won’t unravel. 

• Step 7: Sew the lining and exterior parts together

This final step is always exciting since you see the entire bag come together. Follow the instructions in the pattern you’ve used to complete the bag. Once you’ve finished the bag, take a moment to admire your work and show it off to your friends and family!

7 Travel Bag Patterns For You To Peruse

For this compilation, I tried to find a good selection of travel bag patterns to give you a glimpse into what is possible with a bit of fabric, thread, and imagination. Without further ado, let’s dive into this fun collection!

• Rollie Pollie Organizer

You can use this fun little organizer to store all kinds of things for your trip, from toiletries to makeup to jewelry. This toiletry bag sewing pattern includes instructions and templates to create this unique roll-up organizer. It features four removable pouches, and the pattern has instructions for three different sizes. The skill level for this project is intermediate. 

• Convertible Travel Bag

How cute is this convertible bag? This bag would be great if you are planning a day trip to the city or if you want to take your laptop to the local coffee shop to do some work. The maker of this bag used an existing messenger bag pattern and made some changes to the straps to make it convertible. The straps can be used either as a messenger bag or backpack. 

• DIY Easy Makeup Bag

Here is a free tutorial to make this cute pleated makeup bag. The maker gives a supplies list, written instructions with photos, and a YouTube video to accompany the tutorial. The finished bag will measure approximately 9”x5”x5”, the perfect size for travel. 

• Retro Travel Bag

I found this pattern on Etsy in the shop PolkaDotChair. The pattern will show you how to create your duffel bag that measures 20”x11”x6”. The pattern includes templates and gives you three different strap options depending on what look you are going for with your bag. 

• Got Your Back 2.1

This backpack pattern might be the right choice if you like to travel light. The backpack has multiple pockets to store items and keep your things organized while traveling and has a convenient handle on top if you don’t want to put it on your back while walking around. The finished size of the backpack is 14”x12”6”.

• Divide and Conquer

This pattern is perfect for those who like to organize their belongings while traveling. There are two size options for you and optional straps for carrying. You could use this bag for toiletries, makeup, craft supplies, electronics, kid’s toys, etc. 

• Townsend Travel Bag

This beautiful bag can be made using the Townsend Travel Bag sewing pattern. You can tell the designer pays attention to detail by the professional finishes of this bag. Adding the train case bottom is a massive bonus if you need to bring shoes or other bulky items with you. You can use it for an overnight bag, carry-on, diaper bag, or gym bag, to name a few options. The final measurements of this bag are 16”x13”x6”.

I hope you enjoyed this group of travel bag patterns. I want to make a complete set of luggage for my next trip! How about you? Which bag was your favorite? Let me know in the comments below. 

Happy Stitching!

Cocktail-making gift set accessories

Get ready to spread joy and get in the festive (ahem) spirit this holiday season with the perfect gift: homemade cocktail gift sets! In this guide, we’re sharing all our insider tips on crafting delightful presents that sparkle with flavor and cheer. Elevate your gifting game and bring a touch of merriment to your foodie friends with The Mixer’s expert tips. Cheers to happy celebrations!  

If you’re wondering how to make a cocktail gift set for specific cocktails, step right up. The Mixer team has done a handy breakdown of the elements you’ll need for five of our favorite cocktails and five of our most clinkable mocktails. Let’s get crafty

Moscow Mule

The  Moscow Mule is a classic cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, served over ice in a distinctive copper mug. The combination of smooth vodka, zesty lime, and crisp ginger beer creates a refreshing and iconic drink. The copper mug not only adds a unique presentation but also helps keep the cocktail wonderfully cold.  

To put together a cocktail mix gift set for Moscow Mule lovers, start by assembling:  

• SKYY Vodka  
• Ginger beer  
• Lime juice (fresh limes or bottled juice)  
• Copper mugs  

You can either add full bottles of spirit and mixer to the gift box, or you can decant it into smaller containers to make a portioned gift set. If you really want to put this present over the top, consider making your own ginger beer at home and labeling it with some festive cheer.

Old Fashioned

An Old Fashioned cocktail gift set is a suave choice for a sophisticated cocktail lover. The Old Fashioned is a straightforward, robust cocktail. Bourbon or rye whiskey, simple syrup, and bitters meld over ice. The result is a balanced harmony of smoky, sweet, and bitter notes. A twist of orange peel complements the warm depth, offering a timeless and uncomplicated sipping experience.  

To assemble a gift box, you will need:  

• Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon  
• Simple syrup  
• Bitters  
• Orange peel (fresh oranges or dehydrated orange slices)  

Making simple syrup is easier than you think, and you can also infuse it with spices or fruit. This in and of itself makes a great gift.  

Cosmopolitan

A Cosmo is a balance of tart and sweet. The citrusy punch of vodka and orange liqueur harmonizes with the cranberry’s tang, creating a lively and refreshing sip. It’s a zesty dance on the palate, leaving a crisp and satisfying finish that lingers briefly, inviting another round of this classic and vibrant cocktail.  

To put together a Cosmo gift box, gather the following:  

• SKYY Citrus-infused vodka  
• Grand Marnier Orange Liqueur
• Cranberry juice

Mulled Wine  

If ever there was a cocktail mixer gift set that’s tailor-made for the festive season, it’s DIY Mulled Wine. The rich warmth of the beverage carries hints of seasonal spices, creating a soothing and familiar flavor. It’s a delightful embrace of winter in every sip, offering a gentle and cozy experience for the palate.  

To make a Mulled Wine gift set, you’ll need:  

• A bottle of red wine  
• Cognac (small measure, so consider a decanted flask or jar)  
• Citrus fruit of choice (fresh or dehydrated slices)  
• Maple syrup or honey  
• Festive spices (e.g., star anise, clove, cinnamon sticks, pink peppercorns)  

Since the spices must be strained out of the Mulled Wine at the end of the preparation period, it’s a nice touch to present the spices in a little pouch made of muslin or 100% cotton.

Bee’s Knees

The Bee’s Knees offers a harmonious blend of citrusy brightness and floral sweetness. The zesty notes of fresh lemon intertwine with the smooth, honeyed undertones, creating a crisp and refreshing sip. The balanced combination delivers a subtly complex flavor that’s both invigorating and subtly soothing.  

The ingredients include:  

• Bulldog Gin  
• Lemon juice (fresh or bottled)  
• Honey syrup  
• Lemons to garnish (fresh or dehydrated)  

Try making your own honey syrup to add to the gift box. It’s very easy to make at home. We love using local honey to add some regional flare.

Ingredients for non-alcoholic cocktail-making gift sets  

You don’t have to make a cocktail gift set with alcohol; if you’re compiling a present for a teetotalling or sober-curious friend or relative, there are many fun mocktail options to consider as well. 

Mock Champagne Punch

This Mock Champagne Punch recipe is great for serving a festive crowd, but the quantities can easily be adjusted to a single serving. You’ll need the following for the gift box:  

• White grape juice  
• Ginger ale or ginger beer  
• A selection of fresh fruit (e.g., apples, oranges, and pomegranates)  

Top tip! You could also add some sugared cranberries as a festive garnish option.  

Shirley Temple

A Shirley Temple is a delightful fusion of sweet and fruity flavors. It’s a playful, non-alcoholic dance of bubbles and a hint of nostalgia—a light, fizzy sip that’s both refreshing and reminiscent of the golden era of Hollywood. To assemble a gift box, gather the following:  

• Ginger ale  
• Grenadine  
• Maraschino cherries to garnish  

Apple Cider Float

Made with warm, spiced apple cider and topped with vanilla ice cream, the Apple Cider Float is the ideal non-alcoholic dessert drink to enjoy before tucking into that slice of pumpkin pie. The ingredients that will need to go in your gift box include:  

• Apple cider  
• Caramel sauce  
• Cinnamon sugar  
• Vanilla ice cream  
• Whipped cream  
• Apples (fresh or dehydrated slices)  
• Cinnamon sticks to garnish  

IMPORTANT! Since two of the elements of this cocktail kit can melt or spoil, it’s best to present it in an insulated container and assemble it just before gifting.  

Pumpkin Spice Latte

A Pumpkin Spice Latte offers a comforting blend of warm spices and rich coffee. The earthiness of pumpkin seamlessly integrates with the aromatic cinnamon and nutmeg, creating a cozy, seasonal embrace. To make up a gift set, gather the following:  

• Coffee beans or espresso powder  
• Vanilla extract  
• Pumpkin purée  
• Pumpkin spice (store-bought or homemade)  
• Maple syrup  
• Milk of choice  

IMPORTANT! If you’re presenting the gift with fresh milk, it’s best to do so in an insulated container.

Strawberry Mojito Mocktail

A Strawberry Mojito Mocktail is a refreshing burst of fruity sweetness and minty coolness. To share it as a gift, compile the following ingredients:  

• Fresh strawberries  
• Lime juice (fresh limes, or bottled juice)  
• Fresh mint leaves  
• Club soda  

IMPORTANT ! Since many of the ingredients are fresh and can either wilt or spoil, it’s best to present it in an insulated container and assemble it right before gifting.  

Tailoring the perfect holiday gift involves a little more than just assembling ingredients. Elevate your DIY cocktail-making kit with thoughtful packaging, added components, and charming details.  

Cocktail gift set packaging

Selecting the right packaging sets the tone for your DIY cocktail gift. Thrift stores often have unique boxes or baskets that add a personal touch. Opt for sturdy containers to protect delicate items. Consider eco-friendly options like reusable fabric bags or repurposed wooden crates.  

Ingredient packaging

We love using unique glass jars or vintage tins for a charming touch. While you can present the cocktail-making ingredients in their original bottles, it’s also fun to utilize small, airtight containers for garnishes like dehydrated fruits or artisanal cocktail cherries. Label each package clearly, ensuring recipients can easily identify and appreciate the curated ingredients.

Recipe cards

Craft visually appealing recipe cards that showcase the selected cocktails. Personalize the cards with handwritten notes or anecdotes. Include serving suggestions, variations, and the history behind each cocktail. Enhance the aesthetic with holiday-themed illustrations or use found objects like pressed flowers to add a touch of nature.  

Adding new or thrifted glassware to your cocktail compilation will really elevate your gift set. Ensure each glass complements the selected cocktail, or include a variety to cater to different preferences. Clean and polish the glasses thoroughly before gifting. Add personalized touches, such as hand-painted designs or custom tags tied with rustic twine.  

Include a sturdy mixing glass or cocktail shaker, a jigger, and/or a stylish bar spoon. Arrange the tools neatly for an aesthetically pleasing presentation. Thrift shops often carry vintage shakers, strainers, and muddlers. Ensure the tools are clean and in good condition before adding it to your gift box.  

Decorative elements

Elevate the visual appeal of your cocktail gift set with thoughtful decorative elements. Add-ons like vintage coasters, ornate napkin rings, or retro stir sticks can add a touch of nostalgia. Incorporate natural elements like pinecones, cinnamon sticks, or dried herbs for a festive and aromatic ambiance. Personalize the decorations to match the recipient’s style, creating a visually stunning and memorable gift ensemble.
