Sewing Craft: DIY Flat Iron Travel Pouch

DIY Flat Iron travel PouchI’ve been traveling a lot. Not to any place exciting, though. But when I am on the go, I often have to bring clothes to get dirty in and clothes to dress up in.

  1. I love this! So smart to turn a hot pad into a straightener bag. And you would have so many pattern options (yours is super cute).
