Tutorial: Disney Vacation Purse

Vacation is serious business, y’all. Especially when you’re going to be at a theme park all day. The trick is to travel lightly, but still have all your essentials within easy reach. Tiffany from Making the World Cuter created this Disney Vacation Purse and shares a tutorial for it over at Make It and Love It. It’s a small purse with a long cross body strap that can be worn three ways – cross body, as a lanyard, and as a fanny pack. The strap is made from twill webbing and doubles as a place to pin your collector’s pins. Inside the purse are two pockets to hold a phone, wallet, ID, and other essentials.

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion. You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again. There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from. Some magnetic, some fabric. Some cute, some purely functional. This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing. Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins. The bottom section is for your regular straight pins. Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them. The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles. I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion. It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it. So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips. Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin. They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth). You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
