Another handy bag

Almost a year ago, I posted the fourth in a set of bags (photo on the right) I’d made for when I take my smaller Kaffe Fassett Bernina 475 to a sewing group. The bags were to hold all of the various tools I might need — reducing the likelihood that I’d forget to take some essential thing with me. 😉 The only tool for which I really didn’t have a good solution was my Martelli rotary cutter. Since it’s not straight, like the more traditional cutters, it’s sometimes a challenge finding a way to transport it safely.

However, a new pattern recently appeared on the ByAnnie site that seemed as though it would be just the thing! It’s called Drop Zone and comes in three sizes (I made the medium one), and it zips into a strangely-shaped four-sided “tube,” perfect for my rotary cutter. Unzipped, it becomes a flat tray with sides — very handy for “dumping” things I won’t want to lose track of while stitching. Think machine feet, clips, bobbins, etc.

Luckily for me, I still had a small amount of the fabrics I’d previously used, so this bag will coordinate just fine with them and with the “theme” of the machine itself. 🙂
