Default Need Ideas

Our quilt guild is planning to make quilts and coordinating pillow cases for battered women and their children. In addition we want to make a small carry- all for personal items such as shampoo, a comb, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. - does anyone have an idea on how to make some type of carry-alll that would hold personal items but be compact in size and easy to carry? Thanks for any help with this.

You can use a placemat or make your own placemat.

The "Vera Bradley" placemat bG is great. Way easy and very handy.

I do love the Vera Bradley placemat one, but this one isn't bad (I like it):

A bit more work, but you don't need a placement.

I would just make a simple drawstring bag. Keep it simple. Good Luck. What a worthy cause.

I agree. Especially, if you want to keep costs down/1
