Vacation Sewing. Do you do it?

Sewing to the Moon sewing blog. 10 things to sew for vacation
Sewing to the Moon blog vacation blog post. This is Yellowstone
Photo from our vacation in Yellowstone. Wow, what a gorgeous place.

Summer is here! It's hot and I'm loving it. Well, until I get sick of the heat. Then, I'll cry for cooler weather. I'm as bad as the kids I tell ya. 

But, for now, I'm enjoying the warm days and cool evenings. We like to sit outside at night counting stars and the occasional airplane. 
Also, summer is a time for vacations. Whether you take the whole family or just a solo weekend away.
​
My question for you is, do you sew for vacation? 
Vacation is perceived differently by everyone, this I know. For me, its anywhere that isn't home. Go to the mountains and camp in a tent or trailer. Week long trip to a resort. Whisk my husband and me away for a weekend. Those are all vacations for me. 
Sewing a scarf for vacation is a great idea. Vacation sewing with Annette at Sewing to the Moon

My official vacation purse complete with bamboo handles and a fruity drink with an umbrella.
These are things I've made for vacations in the past. 
  1. You can make travel bags for your clothing. Make sure you use a good zipper.
  2. Simple tops such as the Charms Pattern Rita Blouse by Gertie.
  3. Shorts or maxi skirts are a must. Comfortable clothing is good when you're away from home. Knit fabrics work best for maxi skirts.
  4. Hair scarf or headband. These are fun and super quick to sew. Make a few. 
  5. Toiletry bags like the one above. Make one for yourself and partner. 
  6. Make an eye mask. These are really easy. If you have problems sleeping anywhere but home, this is an ideal make.
  7. A fun pillowcase! Do you always take your own pillow with you when you travel? Make a fun pillowcase for it to use only while you travel.
  8. Straw bag. Do you love your stainless  steel straws? make a quick and easy rectangle zip pouch for them. 
  9. A vacation purse like the one above. If you hand embroider or have an embroidery machine, make a fun quote for it. Tell everyone you're on vacation. You deserve to be there!
  10. Infinity scarves are a great travel item. You can wrap it around your arms when you get chilly. Use it as an extra layer during cold weather. They take 2 yards of fabric and you get 2 scarves out of the fabric. Make one for a friend and yourself. 

If you don't have time to sew up something new, you can pack something from your arsenal that you've made in the past. It's always fun meeting a fellow sewist while out in the world. 

So, if you make anything for traveling, I want to know. Leave me a comment below and tell me what you make or if you don't make anything, tell me why. 

​
Happy stitching and Happier vacationing!

The selling of the clothing and how much the clothing cost and if it looks like what it costs. Fashion merchandising is more of the business side of fashion it includes an eye for style and the brains of business too. This passion includes what clothing items should they put in stock how long the supplier will keep them in the store. “Buying different garments in order.

    Hi there, I'm Annette and I love eating and sewing. I usually have a cup of coffee or tea with me, but not next to my machine because I'd probably spill it. I am the reason we can't have nice things.
