The Basics: What Comes in the Kit?

The Hanging Travel Organizer Kit includes everything you need to complete one organizer (just add your favorite fabric and basic sewing supplies). Here’s what’s inside:

  • Printed stabilizer for precise easy-to-follow construction
  • 2 pre-sewn 36” Zippity-Do-Done® zippers for foolproof zipped closures
  • Clear vinyl sheets for easy-view pockets
  • Instruction sheet + link to a detailed tutorial video for stress-free creativity

That’s right, this kit takes the mystery out of making a beautiful, functional organizer with a zipper that slides in without the usual sweat and swearing. No fiddling, no frustration; just smooth professional-looking results.

Finished Size and Function

When unfolded, the finished Hanging Travel Organizer measures 13" wide by 31.5" high. Fold it up and it becomes a compact 13" x 8.5" x 1.5" – perfectly sized for slipping into a suitcase, backpack or tote.

The clear vinyl pockets help you quickly find what you’re looking for while the hanging hook ensures that wherever you land – hotel room, dorm, classroom or sewing retreat – you have an easy way to stay organized and stylish.

Some of our favorite uses:

  • A cosmetic and toiletries case for vacations, overnight stays or just keeping your daily items tidy at home.
  • A mobile craft supply kit for your English paper piecing, embroidery floss or even hand quilting tools.
  • A backseat car organizer for road trips with kids – fill it with snacks, chargers and small toys to keep everyone happy on the go.

Who Can Make This?

We recommend this kit for intermediate sewists and quilters and advanced beginners – anyone who’s confident with a machine and ready to try a new construction style can make this organizer bag! Thanks to the Quilt-As-You-Go method, easy-to-follow instructions and a free video tutorial, this project comes together beautifully.

It’s also a great pick for:

  • AccuQuilt owners looking for a fast functional project
  • Quilters who want to use up fabric scraps
  • Anyone looking for a handmade gift idea that looks boutique-worthy
  • Newer sewists ready to build their skills with a guided process

If you’ve ever wanted to conquer zippers or just love the feeling of finishing a project that’s both practical and pretty, this is your moment.

Bonus: Compatible with GO!® Dies

This kit plays perfectly with a whole range of AccuQuilt GO! Strip Cutters. That means you can speed up the cutting process and get extra-precise results using dies you may already have in your collection. Here are some of the best matches:

No GO! Cutter? No problem. The instructions also include traditional cutting methods, so you can make this kit with just a rotary cutter and ruler.

Add-On Essentials: Tools and Extras to Make It Even Easier

Want a smoother more polished sewing experience? These recommended tools take the process from “easy” to “effortless”:

  • Basting Spray – Ideal for keeping fabric layers in place
  • Starch Savvy – Helps keep your fabric crisp and easier to cut
  • Fabric Glue Stick – Great for positioning pieces before sewing
  • Magic Seam Wand – A game-changer for pressing seams without heat

Bundle it all together and you’ve got a weekend project kit that’s giftable, teachable and just plain fun to make.

Let’s Talk Fabric

The kit doesn’t include fabric, which means you get to put your personal stamp on it with your fabric choices. It’s a great opportunity to use up your stash!

Here’s what you’ll need for one bag:

  • Main Fabric: ½ yard each of 3–4 coordinating fabrics
  • Lining: ¾ yard
  • Binding: ⅓ yard

Go bold with brights, classic with florals or stay chic with tone-on-tone neutrals. You can even personalize it further with GO! applique shapes for a one-of-a-kind finish.

Why Quilters Are Loving It

Let’s be real – there are a million sewing kits out there. But the Hanging Travel Organizer stands out for a few key reasons:

  • It’s actually useful in everyday life.
  • The Quilt-As-You-Go method makes construction quick, easy and intuitive.
  • The Zippity-Do-Done® zippers eliminate the hardest part of bag-making.
  • It’s great for using scraps, coordinating collections or creating handmade gifts.
  • It gives you a chance to show off your personal style and sewing skills.

It also comes together faster than you’d expect. Many quilters report finishing their bag in an afternoon once they have everything prepped and ready to go.
