When are you coming to Brisbane - I hope it isnt too soon as they get cold westerlies in August when the Agricultural Show is on. I live in Dalby which is about 2 1/2 hrsdrive from Brissvegas as we call it. Hope you have a lovely stay - I cannot help with the project - maybe some stitichery orsomething small

besides the ideas above maybe some redwork so you only have to deal with one color on the flight and also i was going to suggest the dental floss case instead of scissors. like one person said have a few diferent things in your tote or whatever so you can change projects if you tire of one. boy that is a long flight. I thought germany was long not compared to that. good luck nd have fun.

I agree you can do English paper piecing.. have it all ready in zippy bags.. and baby nail clippers work great to snip threads.. and are legal.

It all depends on the day the security guard are having when when you go through security. Honestly one day the scissors are okay the next day their not.

How about yo-yo's? You can cut them ahead of time and sew them on the plane; they look great as quilts or pillow tops. Also...cathedral windows. Put fabric in center with dab of glue stick, have them prepinned, and ready to go for the sewing.

I made yo-yos on the plane for this cute baby toy. Killed two birds with one stone by sewing something on the plane and it was for the new grandbaby!
