Travel pouch

Finished bag


Recent travel for work meant that I would again be flying. When flying I want my backpack to be in the overhead locker but I want things like my phone, airpods, pen and a bunch of other little things in my seat pocket. Something that stresses me out is that these sit there loosely and for the last 15mins of the flight i'm confirming that I have gathered everything up that is mine.

To fix this I made a bag.

Sewing machine and material ready for cutting

Made from tyvek this bag is strong, waterproof and made to fix exactly what I need.

225mm wide by 250mm high the bag features no set closing mechanism instead the bag grows and shrinks as you need by folding back over itself.

Tyvek's properties—such as being difficult to tear but easily cut, and waterproof against liquids while allowing water vapor to penetrate—have led to it being used in a variety of applications. Tyvek is often used as housewrap, a synthetic material used to protect buildings during construction
