These meet the requirements for under seat luggage on Spirit Airlines. We were planning a trip and I found tickets for under $100 round-trip each. But to check bags would have cost almost as much as a person. I made sure we didn’t need to check any bags.
I enlarged a pattern by Sew4Home by about 2 inches in height and 2 inches in width so the bags were the maximum size allowed by Spirit Air. Also I added additional internal pockets using mesh and water bottle pockets on the side with mesh. I also added an ID pouch at the top along with a ring to click your keys into so you can find them later.
These worked perfectly. We went away for the weekend and fit everything we needed and had spare room. Even for going up north in the winter these would work because we would be wearing our jackets. We just love them.
I am a fashion sewer. Although I make other things, I enjoy sewing clothing the most.
I started this blog to describe my adventures in making the wedding dress for my niece, Jacquelyn. The wedding was in July 2009. I am now posting my general sewing & quilting projects.
I have been sewing most of my life. I don't really remember learning how to sew. When I was a child, my mother made most of my clothing. I remember following her around the cutting table when I was too young to go to school. Sometimes in high school, I would make myself clothing, but usually I was too just too busy to bother. I started sewing in earnest after I got married. I was dissatisfied with the fit of purchased clothing as well as the choices. By the time I was in my mid-to-late 20's I was making most of my clothing. Still, to this day, the items I make myself I wear for years. The things I purchase tend to be thrown out within 2 years because they shrink or just get uncomfortable.
I also crochet. You can find me on Ravelry.com under Sewbobbi.
