Here is my question: I'm packing up a catch-all for on the road sewing. I'm guessing this Jane will be mostly hand pieced as we are retired and travel alot. Soooooo.........................what things should I pack in my travel sewing Jane case. Here is what I have so far.
Printed out patterns on wax paper sheets.
glue stick
small scissors
aurilfil thread and small needles
fine applique pins
add-a-quarter ruler
small rotary cutter and small mat (small meaning really little, the mat is only about 6x6.)
tiny iron
folders for completed project
Dear Jane book (CD already burned to my hard drive)
What have I forgotten?
I have a small spiral bound notebook and I made a list in it of all the blocks in row A, B, C (leaving 3 or 4 lines in between each one) etc and all the tris Top, Left etc - then - as I have completed each block, I put in - when i did it - what fabric I used and how many pieces it took to make that block and then do a running total of the pieces as you go along. It is nice to look back on ! - Oh and I used a pencil in case I made an error LOL !
