I knew I'd need something like a portfolio to carry the 18" x 24" cutting mat and portable design wall around in. I could find lots of things that were BIGGER, but I didn't want bigger. I wanted something just the right size. And I wanted it to seal completely and be water resistant.
I looked everywhere, at art supply websites, storage websites, and, of course, on Amazon. I bought
this one.
The price was right, it was the right size (and I couldn't resist the pink.) It has extra pockets, one for a portable easel and other pockets for all kinds of other stuff. I can carry it using the handle on the side, or...
on my back like a backpack. Since I won't be carrying anything heavy in this, it will work just great. The extra pockets mean I can use it to carry my wallet, keys, glasses and other things I might normally carry around in my purse, so I there is one less bag to cart around. Pretty sweet.
I'll get to put a lot of this to the test this weekend when I teach the Scrap Slabs class at Quilted Threads on Saturday April 28.
