Have Iron Will Travel

 
I loooove my little travel iron,
but after group sewing days,
it's HOT and I have to hold it
 in the air
 in the car
while I drive home.
 
How safe
is that?
 
And people call me
and I can't hold a phone
and an iron.
 
 
Yeah, it's a problem.
 
 
So I made a linen iron cozy!
 
I don't make a lot of bags or
have much zipper experience. 
 
And I didn't have directions
AND it's lined with Teflon
and insul-brite.
 
 
And it worked
on the first try!
 
 
Can you tell
I am super stoked?!
 
 
 
The handle collapses, and
it just snuggles right in there.
 
 
Okay, where to next?
Because
I am ready to go!

  7. I usually just put my hot iron in one of my tote bags, wrap it up and stick it in another tote. I think I really NEED an adorable zip-closure iron pouch like yours!! Nice work!

    1. The iron comes with a little zippered protective cozy, but it's not lined or heat proof. So I looked at it to make it.
