Welllll.... Blogger’s been changing things again. Not sure how I like it. If I don’t, this may be my last post. But I do want to get this one out there, because it’s another new pattern, and it’s on sale only through the rest of today (8-2-20), so if you’re interested, you’ll have to be quick to purchase.
I tested another pattern for Linds Handmade Designs, and this one is the Family Travel Organizer. It has pockets sized for passports, plus it has credit card slots, a long slip pocket, a zipper pocket, and even a loop to hold a pen. It would be great for those international flights that nobody’s taking much these days... but hopefully will again before too long. Hopefully.
Linds has such a great way of putting her designs together simply yet functionally, and her patterns are easy to follow. This one was quick and fun to make. I used one of Jess’s barkcloth fabrics for the outside of mine. Any number of other fabrics could be used, and some of the other testers used cork, which worked beautifully. It fastens with a snap... I used a metal spring snap, but KAMsnaps work as well... or you could use velcro or a magnetic snap.
Soooooo... things are not going well here in A Photo’s Worth as far as writing this post. Grrr. Among other things, I can’t figure out how to add a link to the pattern, so if you want it, just go to etsy.com and search for Linds Handmade Designs. The pattern will be in her listings. The good news is that everything else in her shop is on sale through tonight, too!
This is frustrating and may be just that last straw I need to quit blogging, which I consider from time to time, anyway. We’ll see how this posts. If I decide to quit, I’ll come back to say goodbye... if I can figure out how, that is. 🙄
Please let me know how you see this! Do you see the whole photo? When I saw it in my blog reader, they were complete, but in Safari on my iPad, the right sides were cut off. Any other issues?
Update: Well, I am at my PC now and managed to correct some of the mess that doing it on the iPad had made, but not all of it. The link to the pattern should now work, hopefully. And I 'think' you should be able to see both photos whole now. But it's still not right and some things don't work as they should when writing the post. Maybe it's just glitches that Blogger needs to work out yet. We'll see.
I was just getting used to writing posts from my iPad, but if I'm going to continue, it looks like it'll have to be back at the PC... for a while, at least. IF I continue.
Please let me know what you see from a tablet, and particularly from a phone. I don't have a cell phone (believe it or not!), so I can't test it that way. If anything seems strange, I'd appreciate your letting me know. TIA!

The link works and both photos can be clicked to be seen in larger format. (Although it'll be awhile before many people care about making a passport holder!)
I am, however, visiting your blog via a computer, although its highly unlikely that it would not be viewable on other devices. I think you're good there.
I hate the new format that Blogger is moving to, because it is so much more cumbersome for someone who works off a desktop computer. I don't know why they think bloggers like to write posts on mobile devices (although you say you use your tablet), but that's what the new format is optimized for.
Good luck with however you choose to go forward. :-)
Thanks for your input, Rochelle. I’m glad to hear things appeared right for you.
All I can say is that if Blogger thinks this is an improvement for mobile devices, they have a long way to go. There are so many bugs. I also had a lot more options when working from my PC.
Very true about not needing a passport holder. However, with just minor modifications, this could work as other things... a notebook holder, for example. People were clamoring for the pattern and have been making them pretty quickly. At least it’s an easy sew and is good for scrap busting and filling time. ;)
Thank you!
The first time I saw this post on my phone, the pictures were cut off on the right, but since your update, everything looks good :)
Thank you, anonymous! Good to know! 👍🏻🙂
