3. Packing Pods

keep everything organised and tightly stored to increase capacity in your case and prevent your clothes moving around and creasing! These are brilliant for packing all your clothes, underwear, toiletries and electronics into your suitcase—and are also great for everyday storage in the home.

The Pods are seriously lightweight and roll up to nothing, adding no weight to your weekend bag or suitcase.

Flatten them down, roll them up and pack them away after use in a tiny space, or if you make in more robust fabrics like oilskin and vinyl, they will pack inside each other.

Choose a light fabric that will pack easily. Rip stop or water resistant nylon linings are a good choice, but you could also use quilting cottons to make in a pretty print to match your suitcase.

They're great for organisation make them in different colours to distinguish between the different contents or you can even use mesh for the top panel so you can see what's inside. They're also really handy when made in waterproof fabric for mucky camping trips.
