Looking forward to seeing you at the new  URL   😊   😘 Due to work, I have to keep quite a few flash drives - each for a different type of job or client - in my bag. Although there are small compartments in my bag, I still find myself having to ransack through other stuff in the same pocket to get to the right flash drive. I've looked everywhere for a flash drive organizer but I just can't find one that I like; and most importantly, I do try not to make unnecessary new purchases.

These are what I used: A good sized black shopping bag I received free from a magazine about 5 years ago (I took off all the sequins on the bag to keep for future craft use) A small black M)phosis (a clothing label in Asia) shopping bag 1 of the 2 non-woven black shoe bags that came with a pair of shoes I bought in Singapore A truly ugly-looking foil coated complimentary shopping bag from Visa A few black zippers taken out from old clothes, been lying in my sewing box for month, or years Here is what I did: Folded and sewed the M)phosis shopping bag onto the outside of the large bag, to make a zipped-up pocket. Sewed 2 other zippers onto the 2 shoe bags, then sewed them onto the inside of th...
