This is from a ByAnnie pattern called Travel Essentials, and it’s little extra bag (Hot Tools Holder) to hold a curling iron, with a separate pocket for the cord. It makes it possible to pack a curling iron while it isn’t yet completely cool. The last seam was stitched through four layers of fabric, two layers of Soft and Stable, and binding; but my wonderful Bernina 790PRO acted as though it was butter!
I’ve been working on the main bag from the pattern, one of those roll-up bags to hold medicines and personal items, but I’ll have another few days before I get the video for tips and tricks on how to finish that bag up — it’s all part of a group tutorial where we get a step each week to do. It’s been fun, but I’m anxious to finish! This cosmetics/medicine bag will definitely be nicer than the one I’ve been using for the past several years, and I’ll get a chance to try it out during our quilt guild’s retreat later this summer.
The Hot Tools Holder will certainly make traveling with my curling iron safer and more convenient!

Sandy I love your fabric choices!
You have motivated me to make hubby a set of matching bags for all his hospital trips. I picked up the Ultimate Travel Bag 2, the Get Out of Town 2.1, the Travel Essentials & Ditty Bags. Hopefully, I will be finished at least 1 of the larger bags before he needs them.
Maybe he will let me borrow them for retreats occasionally 😉 Can’t wait to you finish the Travel Essentials.
Your projects sound wonderful, Candice! What fabrics are you going to use, or have you decided yet? The lady running the “Slow Along” as we make this Travel Essentials bag has a way of adding yet another pocket, which I think is going to be a handy extra. 🙂 The last step of the Slow Along begins tomorrow, and I’m anxious to see what she has to show us! 🙂
I enjoy more pockets. That is a great opportunity to learn new tricks & techniques. I will watch for her next one.
I used Northern Peaks Pine Bears for the main fabric & Northern Peaks Evergreen for the coordinating fabric by Northcott. I just finished the Get Out of Town 2.1 tonight. Very much a man’s bag with those fabrics. So tomorrow will start some Ditty bags in different sizes in the same fabrics. I bought 5 of the different fabrics in that line to play with & they will all go well together.
Looking forward to your sharing the Travel Essentials bag soon! Maybe sharing the info on that extra pocket 😉
Your bag sounds beautiful! What a lovely set it will be for your husband! 🙂 I’m really sorry, but I can’t post the info on the extra pocket, since it’s not mine to share. 🙁
Totally understand & no worries!
Thanks! 🙂
