Be ready to go anywhere, anytime! This entire show is full of perfect projects for an on-the-go lifestyle! I think you'll get some great ideas for gift making too!
The show begins with prolific blogger and busy Mom, Caroline Critchfield. Leave it to a busy, and I might add clever Mom to come up with something practical, pretty, and super fast to make! Watch as she shows each step to complete this piece and gives out some great tips and tricks along the way.
You'll hear Caroline recommend this little vinyl-lined pouch for cosmetics or a travel sized sewing kit. Both of these are great ideas. However, I can also see these made with fancy fabric along with embroidery or a monogram, and used to hold a gift of jewelry for an elegant presentation. Wrapped candies and a special note inside would be great for a hostess gift. Put a little thought into this and I bet you come up with some of your own great gift ideas. I'm planning to make one for a sewing friend with sewing themed fabric. Instead of candy, I'll add a sweet surprise in the form of a gift card for a local sewing shop.

Award-winning quilter Carolina Moore shows how to hand sew hexagons along with her own tips for English paper piecing in the next segment.
This type of quilt project is utterly portable and I can readily see how it could quickly become habit forming. I was surprised to see that these ready-to-use paper pieces were available in such large quantities and also in different shapes.

Take a close look at the nifty wash away glue pen featured and you'll see that it is a cut above the ordinary. It's a Fons and Porter brand pen with refills available for future use. After a little research I found that it was on the high end price wise but being able to re-fill is a big plus in my book.

Alex Woodbury of AlexandIkat shows off her beautiful bags at the tail end of the show. Listen as she explains where each bag gets its name and then tells how these bags carry special meaning with help for others at the root of their design.
