Techno Travel Rolls

So the last thing that I made for The Three Amigas was a techno travel roll. I saw this in one of the magazines I had - but really, I don't remember which one and I'm too lazy to walk downstairs and see. When The Princess came home for Thanksgiving - she forgot her cell phone charger. She also travels with a computer, camera, and Nintendo DS. I had recently picked up the premier issue of stitch and it had the idea for this travel roll in it. I'm all little concerned because it's flat. If I hadn't been following the directions - I think I would have added a pleat or something to the edges you fold over to give depth to the pockets. It's also very stiff so hopefully this will work and actually hold all the cords and cables the girls travel with. Of course - getting ready to embark on my own trip - did I make one for myself to try out? Nope! I did add two little pieces of ribbon in the center to trying cables and other small connector cords too. I really hope it works and holds everything in it's place.

  1. What a cool idea. I have my iPod, my cell phone, my computer and my camera....all that have cords that play tangle dance with me in my computer bag.

  2. This is a great idea. You have no idea how many calls I've gotten to send the forgotten charger cord. You also have no idea how wonderful it is that we all have the same phone, so everyone takes turns using my charger...which is not permitted to leave its designated outlet in my office, BTW! This is pretty fabric. Safe travels to you and The Musical One; I hope the girls have a wonderful time together, and that you & JB enjoy a much needed break.

  3. The Knight has one requirement when one of gets a new phone - must use same charger. We order extras in lots of threes. One of the suitcase I pack wherever I go, one for his shaving kit, and a true extra, like for when Gretchen ate my regular home charger (unplugged, thankfully!)...
