Quilt number 5

I wasn't sure whether to class this as a quilt or not but given I did sandwich the fabric with batting and quilted it I thought I would include it.  I made this travel sewing kit the day before I was going on holiday back in August, I should have been washing clothes and packing but I thought I needed to get my priorities straight and make sure I kitted out for sewing whilst away!  I made this up by looking at various pictures on pinterest and then adapted it for what I wanted, I knew that I wanted an area to store my hexies as I  was keen to start a paper piecing project. The strip of elastic didn't quite work as I intended to hold things in as this would only work with a solid back.  I added extra ribbons so I could tie things to it so certain things would not get lost while traveling, this feature has been great for threads and my scissors.   The ribbons weren't the best coordinated but I just used what I had in my stash, no time to go out and get new ones.
