I posted a small toiletry bag I made a few months ago and I just finished my biggest project yet in this tote bag and I’m really happy with it. Pretty big, it’s whatever the dimensions of under seat luggage are for a plane. Could this be a #side hustle?

I didn’t like how big all toiletry bags were so I made one. It’s just big enough to hold my glasses, contacts, toothbrush, and a few other things. I also made a catchall for my pocket things out of the same canvas.

i’ve been using a small sling bag for the past year and always end up with my hands and pockets full of the overflow that won’t fit in my attempted minimalist approach to storage. i recently bought a fairly oversized satchel and it’s markedly improved my day to day life. i can bring my books AND water bottle AND notebook AND camera AND ongoing collection of sentimental bottle-caps AND i have a place to put the pomelo i bought on my walk AND the jacket i might want for later on AND my hands are now free for high-fives or dancing or putting more things in my huge bag!

I was looking for a gym bag recently but realized really any bag could be a gym bag if you put a smaller dry bag inside it to hold your sweaty gear. I liked finding a solution with things I already had. But the main bag started to fall apart and I didn't have another large enough. So I started looking for something new again.
I found this guy. It's got large exterior pockets that can hold my trainers. Small interior pockets to hold toiletries, headphones, jump rope, etc. And a big roomy main compartment for tossing in gym clothes and a dry bag.
It's also like my ideal tote bag? It's got a hand hold, you can shoulder it, but you can also sling it if you need too by lengthening the strap. This thing is so versatile!

Overcomplicated actually. I needed a pencil cup for my desk, so I made one out of Trader Joe’s turkey chili can. I left it at that for a while, then decided to make a base out of plywood and bolt the can to it through the bottom, providing slightly more stability and preventing my pencils from spilling all over my desk.
