Talk about perfect timing.  What a great idea, Tatman

Most of my lacemaking these days is done on my lunch hour, so I carry my
pillow back and forth to work.  A bag that will protect it is essential.  I'm
working on a Milanese piece that needs to be transferred from my small cookie
pillow to a larger one for the second part of the pattern.  Problem is I don't
have a bag big enough for my 22 pillow.  Most of the large bags I've seen are
cloth, don't close completely, and way too expensive.  I would make one
myself, but my sewing machine is out of commission.

I went on Amazon and ordered the M-Wave bag for $24...with free shipping  It
came yesterday.  Nicely padded, zips all around.  Only thing I would have
liked is a shoulder strap, but that's easily added.

I cut a piece of corrugated cardboard about 4 wide and long enough to go
around the pillow to keep the bag from squishing down on the work.  It fits
beautifully.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am a cyclist as well as a lacemaker, and when I was ³window shopping²
online for fun stuff for my bike, I happened on the wheel bags that carry
and protect your extra wheel assembly.  I immediately saw this bag as a
large size(24-32 inch) cookie pillow travel bag:

Has both handles and shoulder strap.  And not too pricey.  Under US$30.00.
I went searching for other wheel bags for lacemaking apparel use and found a
few on Amazon.com that had outer pockets and were around US$24.00

Just a neat repurpose item that I thought I would share with you.  Could be
that some of you lacemaker/cyclists out there already use a wheel bag for a
cookie pillow travel bag. ;)
