In making the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2021\/10\/my-ucab-finished\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UCAB for myself<\/a>,&nbsp; the goal was that it&nbsp; would work as the new bag. After the fiasco at Sew Day, I knew I needed to get my travel supplies in order. I removed everything I had put in my sewing machine travel bag and replaced it in the UCAB.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this isn&#8217;t a great bag for what I need. It is a good bag for a lot of stuff, but not for my travel needs. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>What I need: the bag to be taller so my scissors and HST rulers can stand up. I should have paid more attention to the slots in the elastic in the front, because my rotary cutters don&#8217;t fit in them. Also, I am afraid that if I lay my rotary cutters in the bag, they will cut the fabric of the bag.&nbsp; I think more mesh pockets would have been better, because I can see what I have in them. Also, my <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2019\/08\/quiltmaking-go-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pink Tupperware supply box<\/a>, which I have decided I can&#8217;t get rid of, doesn&#8217;t fit in this bag.<\/p>\n<p>I can make bags for the scissors and rotary cutters, then clip them to the d-rings, but I don&#8217;t think that will solve all of my travel problems. I saw a <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2019\/08\/quiltmaking-go-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video Tula posted<\/a> the other day about what she uses for her travel\/ sewing elsewhere bags. She uses some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.byannie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ByAnnie patterns<\/a>. I am sure I have some <a href=\"https:\/\/sewsweetness.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sew Sweetness patterns<\/a> that would work the same way. I do have the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/arty-running-with-scissors-finished\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Running with Scissors<\/a> pattern and could make it again.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what to think, but I am disappointed.
