The Perfect Travel Pouch
After looking at dozens of ipad cases and travel pouches, I couldn't find what I was looking for: a case large enough to fit my ipad, with an inner pocket for carry-on toiletries and an outer pocket with several easy-to-access pockets for multiple passports. I also wanted it to be slightly padded to protect the contents, with a plastic inner lining (hidden underneath the fabric) to protect my ipad in case of leaks. Ok, it's a little obsessive compulsive, but I don't think I'm asking for too much:)
I asked my friend, Eliana, a designer and all around sewing guru (she created almost every throw pillow in our home...14 to be exact!), to create a travel pouch to meet my specifications. She delivered. I found the navy and white striped fabric and the lavender lining at Fishman's Fabrics, and provided Eliana with a crude drawing and measurements, and she took over. After I received the finished product from Eliana, I took it to a local monogram shop and added my monogram. I'm thrilled with the results, and I'm so happy to be able to have all of my essentials safely coexisting in one spot.
I also asked Eliana to create something similar for my best childhood friend who is getting married in June. Our bridesmaids dresses are navy, so the navy and white fabric was perfect. I added her initial along with her fiance's, to make it a little more personal. I hope it will be helpful addition for their travels during their honeymoon, and even more special becasue it was created just for them.
If you can't find what you are looking for, you have to take things into your own hands (and the hands of talented friends) to bring them to life!
