Travel Essentials 2.0 Sewing Pattern by Annie Unrein from ByAnnie

The Travel Essentials 2.0 by Annie Unrein for ByAnnie is a two-project sewing pattern that produces a practical, polished set for travel or everyday organization. The set includes a fold-up Organizer with multiple pocket types and a coordinating Hot Tools Sleeve — both designed to keep essentials accessible and protected at home or on the road. Key Features: Versatile Organizer: Multiple pocket types — mesh, vinyl, and zippered fabric — keep items visible and easy to find. A deep zippered pocket on the interior bottom accommodates larger items, while an exterior zippered pocket conceals an attached Hanging Strap for hands-free hanging from a rod or hook. Compact and Portable: The Organizer folds down to a neat 9"H x 12"W x 3"D and opens flat to 27½"H x 12"W for full access. A quick grab handle and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap offer flexible carrying options. Hot Tools Sleeve: The coordinating sleeve features two compartments — one for hot tools and one outer pocket sized for cords — making it a practical companion for curling irons, flat irons, and similar items. Updated Design: Travel Essentials 2.0 improves on the original 2013 pattern with enhanced illustrations, an added hanging strap, an exterior zippered pocket, and reduced visible stitching lines on the exterior.
