About this pattern

Download Carolyn Letten's neck rest and make-up pouch patterns in preparation for holiday season.

This travel cushion and coordinating make-up bag set are inspired by visions of sunsets and palm trees blowing in the breeze. One side of the neck rest has a quirky little pocket so you can pop a fragrant sachet inside to help you relax in flight. Why not use the make-up bag to keep travel essentials within easy reach?

    Top sewing tip

    Make a lavender pouch from an off-cut of fabric. Add pom pom trim to one end, stitch together leaving a gap, then fill with dried lavender and close up.
