I always carry my crocheting with me so I use 2 items. 1st the sheet protectors for my patterns and 2nd then place all my items inside the zippered bedding or curtain cases. These come in different sizes and shapes so I can pick & choose which I need for my traveling, whether in line at the grocery store or traveling out of state to visit one of my 12 grandchildren. These bags are also great for storing finished crocheted items until they are ready to be shipped, toss a dryer sheet inside the bag to keep them fresh smelling.
