Looking for the perfect bag to complement your favorite styles can be a challenging task. However, customizing your own bag can make it easier. Fortunately, Missouri Star offers a wide range of exquisite tote & purse kits to help you find the right fit for your specific taste! From zipper pouches to lunchbox totes, and colorful purse kits, too, we have everything you need to create the perfect bag to keep all your daily essentials organized!

But there are so many options to choose from … how do you narrow it down? Choosing the right tote & purse kit depends on several factors, including your skill level, style preferences, and intended use. Here are some tips to help you select the right one for you:

➤Skill Level: Consider your sewing experience. If you're a beginner, look for tote & purse kits labeled as "beginner-friendly" or "easy-to-make." These kits typically come with clear instructions and simpler designs; if you happen to choose a Missouri Star exclusive pattern, there will also be a free video tutorial to help you every step of the way! Intermediate and advanced sewists can explore tote & purse kits with more intricate designs and techniques.

➤Style and Design: We have so many different handbag kits to sew, from small and insulated lunchbox tote kits to book bags and deep yet stylish purse kits. Think about the type of tote or purse you want to make. Do you prefer a classic tote bag, a crossbody purse, or a clutch? Look for kits that match your desired style and have designs that appeal to you. Pay attention to details like pockets, closures, and strap options.

➤Materials and Fabric: Check the materials included in the kit. Some tote & purse kits come with pre-cut fabric pieces, while others may require you to cut the fabric yourself. Consider the fabric type and color options available in the kit and choose one that suits your taste and the intended use of the tote or purse.

➤Included Accessories: Take note of the additional accessories included in the kit, such as zippers, buttons, and other bag hardware. Ensure that the kit provides all the necessary components to complete the project without needing to purchase additional supplies separately.

➤Budget: Your budget may also come into play when choosing a kit. Tote & purse kits vary in price depending on factors like the complexity of the design, quality of materials, and brand reputation. Determine how much you're willing to spend and find a kit that offers good value for your money.

At Missouri Star, we do our best to provide purse kits to sew for every style and taste. Our kits come with all the essentials, so you don’t have to worry about choosing the right fabric or tracking down the right purse hardware.

Table Of Contents

Key Takeaways

Carry-on and checked bag guidelines, tsa-approved sewing items, features of a travel-friendly sewing kit, recommended brands for travel-friendly sewing kits, emergency clothing repairs, sewing during flights, proper packing techniques, considerations for sharp objects, mail services for prohibited items, travel insurance and valuable sewing kits, tsa findings on sewing needles, firearms vs. sewing kits in carry-on bags.

• Sewing needles are allowed in carry-on luggage according to TSA guidelines.
• Small scissors are also allowed in carry-on luggage on airplanes.
• The guidelines specifically mention sewing needles and small scissors as allowed carry-on items.
• The list of allowed items for sewing kits on airplanes includes sewing needles and small scissors.

TSA Guidelines for Sewing Kits on Airplanes

If your kit is truly valuable, you’d best tuck it away in checked baggage for that extra peace of mind. Opt for TSA-approved scissors under 4 inches and a variety of thread colors to handle sewing emergencies that may arise.

Use smart packing techniques like foam protection so your kit can pass TSA scrutiny for carry-on luggage. Follow all TSA guidelines for sewing scissors and kits to avoid issues with both carry-on and checked bags.

With proper preparation and caution, your sewing supplies can safely accompany you during air travel.

You can pack needles, thread, buttons, thimbles, and small fabric in carry-on luggage according to current TSA standards. Smart travelers choose compact sewing kits with travel-friendly options like tiny scissors for security checkpoints.

Carefully pack sharp objects allowed by TSA regulations. Sewing needles and small scissors under 4 inches pass, but large scissors go in checked bags.

Choosing a Travel-Friendly Sewing Kit

Although packing pharmaceuticals on planes can make travel more convenient, their restrictions mean popping pills mid-flight is generally a no-go. Opt for a compact sewing kit with small, TSA-approved scissors under 4 inches. Ensure a variety of thread colors, sewing needles, a thimble, and basic notions like Singer or Dritz offer.

Proper packing rules prevent security issues. Smart travelers choose a kit meeting carry-on requirements, ready to handle clothing emergencies inflight.

Singer and Dritz offer good options for travel-friendly sewing kits that you’ll actually use. Both brands provide compact kits packed with sewing essentials like needles, thread, buttons, and tiny scissors to handle DIY repairs in a pinch.

Their streamlined kits are designed as must-have travel companions, containing just the right notions without breaking TSA rules. When choosing between Singer and Dritz, it comes down to your preference – both companies make it easy to travel with a trusty sewing kit at your side, ready to be your airport security-approved sidekick.

Benefits of Having a Sewing Kit While Traveling

During downtime on plane flights, drab duds develop delightful design details. Repair an urgent wardrobe malfunction mid-trip using handy tools tucked in your travel sewing kit. Quick fixes with a needle, durable thread, and practiced stitching save your style.

Whether patching discreet tears, replacing lost buttons, or stitching split seams, emergency clothing repairs prevent fashion fiascos. With an adept approach and compact kit, restore garments easily, anywhere. Save your style in trying times; learn simple techniques to salvage your travel wardrobe when disaster strikes.

You’d stitch through the skies as you leisurely embroider, but please ensure you’re considerate of fellow passengers. While in-flight sewing offers relaxation or wardrobe fixes, remain aware. Keep projects compact, such as a small hoop or needle book.

Stow sharp essentials when not in immediate use. Mind seat neighbors by minimizing jostling motions. Most importantly, only sew if it doesn’t disturb others resting or working. Though tempting for passing time, gauge appropriate moments.

Tips for Packing a Sewing Kit for Air Travel

With proper packing, your sewing kit will be golden for air travel. Wrap sharp objects with fabric and insert knitting needles into foam sheets. Valuable kits will need extra protection, so reference TSA guidelines for packing tips.

Place sharp sewing tools like blades into checked baggage. Safe packing of prohibited items will help get your sewing kits on airplanes without delay.

Cause sharp objects in sewing kits could hurt someone, double-check all are properly wrapped before packing your bag.

• Comply with TSA rules for sharp objects like needles, scissors, and knives.
• Use protective cases or foam padding.
• Pack sharp items at the center of your luggage.
• Declare dangerous goods like knitting needles at check-in.
• Opt to check sharp objects you don’t need inflight.

When traveling by air with a sewing kit containing potential weapons, you must take precautions. Insufficient packing of sharp objects could lead to injuries or airport delays. For everyone’s protection, know the regulations and pack intelligently.

Additional Tips and Considerations for Traveling With a Sewing Kit

Heartache awaits unless you mail prohibited items before arriving at the airport. Sharp scissors and long knitting needles may seem harmless, but airport security considers them contraband. Rather than forfeiting your treasures, utilize airport mail services. Simply pack contraband in a padded mailer and add sufficient postage at the airport lobby or ask for their forwarding address to mail later.

You’d be wise to get travel insurance for your prized sewing kit before jetting off. Some policies cover accidental loss or damage of valuables like sewing kits. Review options for baggage coverage, which may reimburse if your kit goes missing.

Travel insurance gives peace of mind when traveling with precious belongings in case you lose that button or scissors. Just confirm your policy’s limitations and make sure your sewing kit is covered before leaving home.

Statistics and Facts About Sewing Kits and Air Travel

It’s all good if your sewing kit makes it through security. The TSA found a mere 58 sewing needles or pins in carry-ons during 2019 screenings of over 700 million passengers. Focus on proper needle safety and disposal to avoid potential issues. Follow TSA sewing kit regulations for a smooth airport experience.

The key is keeping needles secure. With some precautions, you can bring basic sewing supplies onboard without trouble.

Yikes! You find more heat than thread when packing poorly for air travel. While your needlework gear seems safe, the TSA flagged over 4,400 firearms in carry-ons during 2019 screening. They prioritized locating those threats over your cross-stitch and embroidery notions.

For hassle-free screening, Kevin Erickson says pack sharp objects in checked luggage. Focus on the essentials in your carry-on and leave potentially dangerous items, however well-intentioned, in your checked suitcase.

With over 4,400 firearms found in carry-on bags in 2019 compared to only 58 sewing needles, it’s evident that sewing kits are rarely confiscated by the TSA. Having a sewing kit on hand can be a convenient and practical choice for travelers.

It allows them to patch up clothes, replace buttons, and make minor clothing repairs while on the go.

When packing a sewing kit for air travel, it’s important to choose a travel-friendly option. This should include small scissors, a variety of thread colors, needles, buttons, and a thimble. Additionally, packing sharp objects properly and considering travel insurance for valuable sewing kits can provide extra security.

By following TSA guidelines and exercising caution, travelers can bring their sewing kits on their next flight with ease.

Get excited to vacation with these travel sewing projects. These are great beginner projects to organize in the car or airplane.

I love going on trips in the summertime and when my kids have breaks from school. We have so much fun playing, hiking, swimming, and biking wherever we go.

I’ve put a big list together of all the things you can sew for traveling at any time of the year. Some of these sewing projects are great for playing games, some are for organizing, and some are for sleeping. A lot of these have free PDF sewing patterns to help you make something to make travel better!

What is a PDF sewing pattern?

A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper.

I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. It’ll never be destroyed since I have a digital version!

How do you use a PDF sewing pattern?

Open the PDF on a computer and click print. When printing make sure that the scaling is set to 100% or no scaling so that the pattern prints at the correct size.

Once the pattern is printed it can be taped together to get the full size. Then the pattern can be cut for each pattern piece size or individual sizes can be traced so that the pattern can be used again and again. Learn how to use PDF sewing patterns .

20 FREE Weekender Bag Patterns

**Please scroll down the page for the links to the free patterns**

Why spend a hundred dollars or more on a designer fabric travel bag when you can make your own for a fraction of the cost?

~Advertisements~

Here you'll find a collection of twenty free weekender bag patterns & tutorials gathered from all over the web! So if you're looking to sew a strong, sturdy bag for overnight travel, you've come to the right place.

With just enough room for toiletries and a change of clothes , a compact bag like this is just the right size for an overnight getaway or a weekend trip to Grandma's. And any of these bags would also make a great gym, sport, or dance bag.

Keep in mind though that most of these bag patterns aren't for the faint of heart. Most require somewhat complex construction techniques consisting of many pattern pieces, lots of steps, the insertion of one or more zippers, inner pockets and compartments, linings, and require working with heavy, bulky fabrics - things that can be challenging even for a experienced seamstress. Therefore, a bag like this probably wouldn't be a good sewing project for a beginner.

But of course, the payoff for tackling a involved project like this is not only getting to choose your fabrics, but getting to customize your bag as you'd like and to experience the satisfaction of a completed project.

To give you bag a more professional look, consider adding hardware such as rivets, buckles, or metal snaps. Also, leather trim and piping can give your bag a more finished look. And consider adding a detachable shoulder strap to your bag. This way, you'll be able to carry it like a piece of luggage and not have a long strap that could get caught on things while traveling. And consider treating the outside of your finished bag with a Scotchgard-type stain repellent to help protect it from stains.

Best travel sewing kits for a quick fix on the go or at home

A long with a portable battery pack , spare headphones and reusable water bottle , a compact sewing kit is an undeniably handy thing to have when you’re on the road.

Should a tear, rip or button malfunction occur when you’re getting from A to B, you’ll have a means to fix it yourself without having to call on the services of a professional. Besides, there’s a quiet satisfaction in DIYing small repairs that will add a sense of achievement to your day.

Hotel rooms might offer a rudimentary sewing kit, but it may not contain everything you need or come up short on the thread department. By having your own sewing kit you’ll have all the right bits and pieces needed for your particular wardrobe.

As well as sorting out minor clothing mishaps, they’re also great to have if you’re a big crafter and want to do small projects on the move or add travel patches to your clothing as you journey across the globe.

The best kits come with the obvious - a needle and thread - but also with a few extras like a small pair of scissors, an unpicker, spare buttons and a tape measure. They’re a great gift option for business trippers who already own every other gadget the sun as well as backpackers and gap year travellers.

We’ve put together an edit of the best compact sewing kits for travellers below. From practical boxes that’ll barely take up any room in your bag, to more comprehensive cases with colourful spools of thread, there’s a kit for everyone.

JUNING Sewing Kit with Case

For sewing and crafting projects, this portable case offers a world of options. It can help you do more than basic repairs, with tools like an unpicker and scissors tucked inside, along with measuring tape and even a small magnifying glass to help you make pinpoint stitches. There are also 18 spools of thread in common colours, as well as a medley of metal, shirt and clear buttons. Bonus points too for the safety pins and a disc filled with needles that should work on most types of fabric. A great backup option or one to keep in the car for emergencies.

BILIEASY Sewing kit 51 PCS Mini Sewing kit

For the stylish sewer we present this fabulous kit which comes with a leopard-print lined box and mock-croc exterior. The statement look makes it perfect for gifting but it’s not a case of style over substance, with plenty of supplies within to solve wardrobe mishaps. There are a dozen spools of thread, plus needles - and a threader to make the fiddly task a little easier - as well as a host of other tools. There’s even a tiny pin cushion to stop things rolling around as you repair.

John Lewis Strawberry Thief Sewing Kit, Marine

Whether you need to reattach a zip or button, or you’re making minor alterations to an outfit, this William Morris-themed sewing kit has you covered. The legendary artist’s Strawberry Thief print covers the case, which is filled with a dozen reels, embroidery scissors, tape measure, safety pins, seam ripper, buttons and needles. It measures H10 x W14 x D3cm, so easy to stash in your bag, ready for when a crisis strikes.

Mini Sewing Kit, 2 Pack

Teaching kids to sew is a skill that will come in useful for the rest of their lives. Make the hobby even more fun with a sweet travel sewing kit, like this one available at Amazon.

The small but mighty kits hold the basics, but there’s enough there to master small fixes and give kids a sense of independence.

Boots Sewing Kit

A fabulous travel kit at a price you just can’t argue with, Boots’ sewing kit is so small there’s no reason not to include it in your next kit list.

Plus, the plastic case means everything will stay safe and organised inside.

Buy now £4.00, Boots

Army Tactical Military S95 Sewing Kit

This military-themed sewing kit is perfect for making minor repairs when you’re off on a field exercise. As well as thread in varying shades of green, the Velcro-fastened pouch also stores a selection of safety pins, green buttons to replace fallen ones and even a thimble to keep your fingers free from injury when you’re stitching.

Buy now £12.25, Amazon

Proper Goose Personalised Sewing Kit Mini Sewing Storage Tin

You’re more likely to keep a gift with your name on it. While this is sewing storage rather than a kit, we’ve included it as it will make a lovely little gift or stocking filler come Christmas time. Pack the tin with your personal sewing essentials - the extra buttons from your favourite coat, the perfect thread colour for your pair of trousers - for repairs so good only you will know about them.

Buy now £12.00, NOTHS

B Spoiled Sewing Kit

A travel sewing kit housed in a button-themed box - what’s not to love? The adorable kit is one for longer trips where you have more luggage space, and contains full-sized spools of thread, along with a huge case of needles, measuring tape, thread cutters, thread unpicker and a small thimble.

The 14 Best Travel Crossbody Bags to Complement Your Wanderlust

Brought to you by true enthusiasts.

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

There’s a fine line that divides the modern jet setter from the weary traveler, and it’s (mostly) marked by a precise combination of style and preparedness. And anyone who’s traveled knows that great bags are the most important companions.

Best Luxury

Bottega veneta the cassette padded leather crossbody bag.

Best Camera Bag

Isabel marant wardy camera bag.

Best Leather

Mansur gavriel moon sling bag.

The right crossbody allows you to carry your essentials hands-free while you’re hauling ass through airport security at 5 A.M. or putting in miles during a day of sightseeing. Of course, you might also need something to carry to dinner or on a spontaneous date with some accented stranger (a girl can dream!). The moral of the story is you need a bag that can do it all —and one that works for you in every way. So, whether you’re jetting off on an international adventure or gearing up for a summer vacation , shop the 14 best crossbody bags for travel, ahead.

If you prefer to shop designer, more power to you. For travel-friendly options, look for styles that close securely and transition well from day to night.

Dimensions: Height: 6.5 inches; width: 3.5 inches; length: 10.5 inches

Material: Leather

Colors: 19 options

Customer review: “This is a gorgeous bag, and the leather is so dreamy *but* you will be forced to pick and choose what you want to carry as the interior is quite small. I’m able to fit my iPhone pro, small wallet, lip balm and car key…and that’s pretty much it. But the look is worth it!”

While we love cameras, camera bags are usually ugly, point blank. You’re not paparazzi, and although you are a traveler, you wouldn’t want anyone to think of you as a tourist , right? This fashionable find from Isabel Marant is the solution.

Dimensions: Height: 5.25 inches; width: 3 inches; length: 7.25 inches

Material: Leather, silver, textile

Colors: Black

If style is your top priority, here’s an option that will match with quite literally anything you wear. The concession is that you might not be able to squeeze that telescopic camera lens inside it, but there’s more than enough room for airplane snacks.

Dimensions: Height: 5.5 inches; width: 7.1 inches; length: 10.6 inches

Material: Calfskin

Colors: Black, Desert, Avorio, Plum

Customer review: “What a beautiful and versatile bag, both in terms of style and colour. It's surprisingly roomy for the size. The leather is absolutely beautiful and buttery soft. Super happy with my purchase!”

Prada Padded Re-Nylon Shoulder Bag

It wouldn’t be a complete crossbody roundup without some form of nylon Prada. Similar to the ever-practical Re-Edition 2005 Re-Nylon Bag , this quilted flap-over bag comes complete with a detachable mini zipper pouch.

Dimensions: Height: 17 centimeters; width: 24 centimeters; length: 8 centimeters

Material: Nylon fabric

Colors: Black, Desert Beige

Customer review: “I have the original nylon and the Re-Edition, and they are my go-to bags. Lightweight, durable, and great for daily use.”

Dagne Dover Nova Sling Bag

If you’re the sporty or adventuring type of traveler, allow us to introduce you to this style from Dagne Dover. We think you’d be perfect for each other.

Dimensions: Height: 12 inches; width: 4 inches; length: 9.5 inches

Material: REPREVE recycled polyester

Colors: Onyx, Moonbeam, Goji

Customer review: “Recently took this bag on my weeklong trip to Amsterdam...It worked so well. It comfortably fit my small Nalgene water bottle, wallet, sunscreen, sunglasses—all the necessities. It’s not huge but it could also fit small souvenirs picked up throughout the day such as magnets, small jewelry items, candy, etc. Highly recommend!”

MZ Wallace Small Sutton Deluxe

Here at ELLE, we love MZ Wallace . This perfectly sized Sutton is just the latest obsession. We scrolled through pages and pages of five-star customer reviews in search of any “cons” to no avail.

Dimensions: Height: 10.2 inches; width: 9.8 inches; depth: 5.5 inches

Material: REC Oxford, Italian leather

Colors: 17 options

Customer review: “Love the feel, look and style. Everything fits so nicely in this bag. All items are an eyes view and so convenient to get. Love it.”

WE-AR4 The Cargo Leather Crossbody Bag

Cargo bags have appeared repeatedly over the past few fashion months, which means organization just got trendier. This sectioned bag allows you to keep all those bits and bobs in a place of their own.

Dimensions: Height: 8.5 inches; length: 10.5 inches; depth: 4 inches

Colors: Black, Sage, Navy, Ice Blue

BAGGU Medium Nylon Crescent Bag

This BAGGU option is actually a personal recommendation from associate fashion commerce editor Meg Donohue—although all the rave customer reviews amplify the point. This bag is spacious, not bulky, and surprisingly cute.

Dimensions: Height: 8 inches; width: 13.75 inches; depth: 4 inches

Material: Nylon

Colors: Black, Brown, Cocoa, Lemongrass, Pixel Gingham

Customer review: “This bag is so cute and easy to carry. I’m a mom on the go and my bags always get dirty. This bag is so comfortable and easy to clean. The strap is nice and wide and comfortable and the bag is big enough for me to even carry my Owala in it! If you’re on the fence, come on over. This bag rules!”

Béis The Sport Sling

Béis knows travel. This sling backpack is ideal for busy walkabout days and can complement any number of other Béis luggage pieces.

Dimensions: Height: 8.2 inches; width: 6.7 inches; depth: 2.7 inches

Material: Nylon, faux leather, recycled polyester

Colors: Black, Slate, Beige, Atlas Pink, Maple

Customer review: “Love all the pockets and how accessible the sling is! Grabbing what you need quickly from the slots is so handy. I can’t wait to use this on my Italy trip!”

Travelon Anti-Theft Courier Tour Bag

As a traveler with her naïveté on constant display, this anti-theft bag could’ve saved me some heartbreak (and the four hours I spent Google translating a theft complaint to the Paris police department). Slash-resistant material, deep locking compartments, and an RFID-protected pocket mean you can rest a little easier knowing your belongings are safe and sound.

Dimensions: Length: 11 inches; height: 11.5 inches; depth: 3 inches

Material: Cotton canvas, leather

Colors: Navy, Stone Grey

Customer review: “Did a month with this bag all over the world and there is no wear or tear that I can see at all...it fit everything I needed (wallet, rolled up rain jacket, phone, passport, rolled sun visor, etc.) and the zip out water bottle pocket works with a collapsible water bottle to fill up when you’re not in an airport.”

Tumi Valetta North/South Crossbody

For those who never leave their tech behind, keep your lifeline secure in Tumi’s vertical crossbody, complete with a touch of leather trim for style points. It has pockets for cash, cards, and mini must-haves.

Dimensions: Height: 7.3 inches; length: 5.3 inches, depth: 2 inches

Material: Nylon, leather

Mango Crossbody Bag

This bag from Mango gives off an aura of quiet luxury that makes it versatile enough to wear as your day-to-day bag or take it on the go. It’s polished, simple, and houses dual compartments to enhance convenience.

Dimensions: Length: 10.2 inches; height: 6.7 inches; width: 3.5 inches

Material: Polyurethane, polyester

Colors: Black, Leather

Customer review: “Yeah to to faux leather! The time has come for us to be conscious consumers. This purse is perfect to wear with my simple, classic wardrobe pieces.”

Coach Coachtopia Loop Quilted Wavy Tote

An extension of the Coach brand, Coachtopia revives recycled and upcrafted materials to give birth to new designs, like this puffy-soft crossbody laptop tote.

Dimensions: Length: 16.75 inches; height: 12.25 inches

Material: Recycled polyester

Colors: Twilight, Deep Orange, Black, Olive Green

Customer review: “This tote is so cute and comfy on my shoulders. It holds a lot of items...great for work or travel.”

FashionPuzzle Triple Zip Small Crossbody Bag

This crossbody bag has a 4.6-star rating from almost 30,000 reviews. At such an affordable price point, you might want to choose a couple of color options to add to your collection.

Dimensions: Length: 8.5 inches; height: 5.5 inches; depth: 2.75 inches

Material: Faux leather

Colors: 30 options

Customer review: “I use this when traveling, it holds so much without being bulky. I can put passports, phone, sunglasses, lip products, money/cards and still have gobs of room left.”

How to Shop for Travel-Friendly Crossbody Bags

• Look for bags that close securely. Zippered or lock closure tops are best. Snaps and magnets come in second, and open tops offer the least protection against theft.
• Before purchasing, make sure a bag will hold all of your necessities. If you’re a seasoned traveler, you likely know which items you like to keep on your throughout your days. But if not, give it some thought. Will you want to keep your passport on your person, or are you comfortable using the hotel safe? Do you carry an inhaler or EpiPen? Is your wallet large, or do you have a sleek card holder? Think these things over and be sure your new bag will hold everything you want it to. Often, it’s better to go slightly larger than you might initially think you need. Size up.
• Ideally, the bag will feel comfortable to wear and will have a thick, perhaps even padded, strap. It’s also preferable for straps to be adjustable.
• The more organizational features, the better.
• A bag that can be worn in multiple ways or has a versatile style is best if you want to pack light. Some bags won’t transition well to a fancy dinner or night out. If you only plan to bring one bag, keep this in mind.
• If you’re more concerned with practicality, you’ll definitely want to look for durable, weather-resistant materials, so you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain.

Why Crossbody Bags Are Good for Travelers

• If worn as a true crossbody, it’s not as easy for the bag to slip off your shoulder—or to be snatched—as it is with a tote, shoulder, or handbag. Yet, it still provides that handsfree convenience. The same can be said for backpacks.
• From a fashion perspective, crossbody bags are easier to dress up than backpacks and are likely to match with more of your outfits.
