I've designed and made more LuggageTags and ToothbrushCases. See how I use here the button to secure the hand written address label to stay in the plastic pocket. I didn't make any buttonhole but sew the button so close to the edge secured by BiasTape that the plastic pocket can be closed under the button. And more important; even if the pocket would open the button itself would keep the address label inside.

(These were the last pieces I had left of the blueberry fabric! I made BlueBerryPie & VanillaCream PotHolder of it on January 2011. There was still plenty of fabric left for a baby dress. If you can not find similar fabric but like blueberries you can always make Gluten free BlueBerryPie.)

This LuggageTag has deeper plastic pocket so it doesn't need a button to secure the address label to stay in.

This CoffeeToothbrushCase includes a personal surprise. I have stitched this name over twenty years ago! It is from one of MyFirstCharbooks I've ever got. MyFather bought them from Helsinki and sent via old fashion postal service for Me up to the North. This design is from Zweigart's Stick Ideen chart  booklet "Reinleinen-Stickbänder". Obviously the order number is 7000/902.

Now, finally, after all these years this stitching has found its place. It was just perfect size for the personalized ToothbrushCase.

ToothbrushCase

I designed and made matching TravelToothbrushCases with the LuggageTags I made previously. Together they form out very nice and personalized gift. This is low cost gift idea and can be done by using left over fabrics. They are also washable which is very practical. I am going to make few more, you will see them later...

LuggageTags

 Remember MySecretSewing? Now that's finished. See what I've designed and sew.

(Oops, forgot to iron this one, need to do it.) 

They are LuggageTags. I have stitched names, addresses and phone numbers on them.

I am very pleased with them. LuggageTags are easy to make and personalize.
