Mid-November I attended a 3-day conference for work. As I was figuring out what I was going to wear, and if there was anything I needed to sew, I realized that I don't really have a great mid-size travel bag. I have my huge 60L camping backpack and a small ratty carry-on rollie-suitcase, but nothing that fit right in the middle. So obviously, I figured I would pick up some fun canvas and make my own duffle bag! The Grainline Portside Travel Set caught my eye, and I headed off to IKEA to pick up some fun canvas.
