Keen travellersIn this Special, we hope to surprise you with lots of useful little accessories which both emphasise your individuality and make it a cinch to distinguish your suitcases and belongings from everyone else’s. What better way to get you in the mood for your holidays?Whether you’re “just” searching for a sponge bag, or a suitable repository for all your travel and booking documents, you need look no further than this issue. For travel by car, plane or ship, we’ve got something for every eventuality. And because it’s such a reassuring feeling to be equipped for all contingencies, “Sister Annabelle” – the lady with the bandages – and her trusty sidekick, the thimble sewing kit – are at your service for minor medical and sartorial mishaps. Needing something else for your sunburnt shoulders? Besides “Sister Annabelle”, we can also offer you a ToSkiPo. Never heard of it? Hardly surprising, as we’ve only just invented this versatile top-skirt-and-poncho-in-one, which lets you pack light while keeping your options open for a quick change!

For the little ones, we’ve banished boredom with a backpack that also doubles as a toy, and cute little bits and bobs in an elephant design to boot.

And once you’ve stowed all your gear away nice and tidily, you can be on your way. Happy travels to all our readers!

Your Editorial Team and Claudia Giesser, Editor-in-Chief

Get off to a good start with butter-soft imitation leather and bold designs that will help reduce travel stress to a bare minimum.

With Walking foot or Dual feed

S701 Cosmetics bagThe postage stamp is the theme here – happy holidays! The pouch is quick to sew and a real mood-brightener to boot. If need be, you could also sew on ready-made appliqués instead of the embroidered stamp.

Happy Holidays!

S703 Glasses/Contact-lens caseGlasses-wearers know the problem – you take your lenses out, but now where are your specs? No worries, we have just the solution for you. Depending on what you need them for, the cases can also be used separately.

Fabric: Swafing

S702 Mirror coverSee your reflection attractively framed by the postage-stamp design of this mirror cover. If you sew several covers at once in different fabrics, you’ll be able to mix and match them with every bag or outfit. Also ideal as a little gift.

Prepared for take-off

S721 Neck-pillow coverYou know how it is – on longer flights, we tend to nod off. A bump or jolt and we awaken with a start, often to a crick in the neck. This pillow keeps you dreaming sweetly for longer, and is entirely respectable-looking for added measure.

S720 Sleep maskSo that you arrive well-rested at your destination – no matter how far away it is! A pretty fabric with flowers and lace brings a touch of romance to your flight.

With Wide gathering foot no. 16

With BSR System

14


What’s perfect for the plane also works when you’re on the train. And it’s all in a matching look, just as a Woman of the World would expect.

S722 Toothcare caseToothbrush, dental floss and toothpaste plus any other small in-flight necessities are neatly stored in this case. The coated interior protects the fabric from splashes.

Fabric: Swafing

With BSR System (BERNINA Stitch Regulator)

Baby elephant walk

S732 Alice bandFor girls, we’ve embroidered the Alice band in pink. Boys will prefer the bright yellow of the appliqué. And wherever you put this little elephant, it’s sure to be a real eye-catcher.

S731 Neck pouchA wallet that‘s guaranteed not to be left lying about somewhere! The CutWork Tool both embroiders and cuts out the small pieces for you. For non-CutWorkers, we’ve also made the embroidery file available online – see page 24.

Whether for boys or girls, everyone finds elephants appealing, and these cute playmates also have their practical uses.

S730 Elephant backpackPractical, yet fun to play with, the ideal companion when the little ones are feeling bored – what mother wouldn’t appreciate the combination? The hard-wearing backpack fabric can take its share of punishment.

With Embroidery foot with clear sole no. 39

Emergency kits

S736 First-aid kit“Sister Annabelle” is your knight in shining armour in health matters, holding ointments, plasters and other first-aid items. Her hair was sewn on with a feather-stitch and the braiding foot.

With Braiding foot no. 21

22


You never know what’s just around the corner. Sometimes a button comes off or a seam rips right when you’re out and about. Or there are other minor aches, pains and niggles to deal with. With these kits, you’ll be well equipped to cope with these and other eventualities.

S735 Sewing kitThis thimble contains a surprise or two. Buttons, thread and scissors are accommodated easily, and are always to hand on your journey.

With clear embroidery foot no. 34 or 39
