The travel case is perfectly sized to fit all your basic sewing notions for travel or classes.  With 7 pockets in various sizes, you can load it up with a 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" cutting mat, rotary cutter, small rulers, scissors, seam ripper, marking pencils and much more.  Also would work great for the crochet hooks and shorter knitting needles.  Also makes a great gift.
