DIY.. Make A Travel Jewelry Roll

in Fat Quarter Projects on 09/08/13

I am travelling yet again.  I’m headed to Atlanta then Greenville, SC and then back to Atlanta. Phew, even the thought tires me out. I was packing my earrings and necklaces in ziplock baggies and realized that it was time to sew something to hold them in. I decided on the spot that I should finally make a jewelry roll!

I wanted the holder to be small. When I travel for work, I don’t bring alot of extra stuff. I usually forget to pack earrings OR just wear one pair OR pack everything in my change change purse and hope I don’t lose anything.

My inspiration was a letter size piece of paper folded in half. Perfect travel size – easy to pack, small enough for just a few pairs of earrings and quick to sew.

Here is what you need to get started:

  1. Fabric – 3 different colors/patterns [ inside, outside and binding]. This is a great fat quarter project
  2. Clear vinyl
  3. Binding – for the bottom of vinyl
  4. Fusible batting –  Pellon TP971F
  5. Interfacing – Pellon Shape Flex
  6. Quilting Ruler
  7. Rotary cutter
  8. Cutting mat
  9. Marking pen
  10. Sewing materials – thread, scissors, pins
  11. Magnetic snaps
  12. Cotton balls – yes cotton balls!!

Wondering about the cotton balls?  When I was developing the vinyl pockets I inserted a cotton ball as a place holder for my earrings and necklaces.  The cotton balls helped form the pocket. They also made sewing the pockets much easier.  I kept the cotton inside as sewed each seam/vinyl pocket down into place… Great idea, right?

I am travelling for the next 10 days and thought I would road test the jewelry roll before sending out the DIY steps.. My husband saw it sitting on the kitchen table and really loved it. But I prefer to give it a test drive and see what works/doesn’t work before getting too excited over it.  So far I’m pretty happy with it.. But I’m sure something will pop up that needs to be fixed.

I made this in just a few short hours. After my travel schedule slows down, I will post a tutorial on the jewelry roll. Until then, let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Happy sewing!

    Found you over at Craftgawker. New fan of your blog. I like this project. You make it look easy. I have never sewn with vinyl before. Is it hard? Where do I find it?

      Hi thanks for stopping by. I bought my clear vinyl at Joann Fabric. You can buy it by the yard. It can be a little tricky to sew with, as the vinyl can be slippery. With this project, I used binding on the edges of the vinyl, so it was very easy to sew with. Let me know how it goes.

    Hi, I love this jewelry holder bag and think it would be a great gift for my mom for the Holidays. I see a list of the supplies but I don’t see instructions. Is there a tutorial for it? Is it there and I’m just missing it? Thank you for your help. You’ve got some mad sewing skills! I’ve enjoyed your blog.

      Hi Amy,

      Thank you for your comment on my sewing skills!! It made my day – seriously. I wanted to road test the holder before I sent out the tutorial. There are a few things I’m going to change. I will work on the updated holder and get the tutorial up mid November. Hope this is ok? I will keep you posted as to when it goes up.

My 5yr old loves to snoop and to go through my stuff. He especially loves my block printing supples, recently found my stash of stamps and lined them up.  When I saw my handiwork from over the years, I thought it would make a fun picture.
