| 3 min read

Are you an avid sewer, knitter or crocheter looking for a way to pass the time on your next flight or while you’re away? Look no further than these projects that are perfect for working on while in the air.

1. Embroidery

Embroidery is a great project for travelling as it only requires a small hoop, needle, and thread. You can easily pack these items in your carry-on luggage and get to work creating beautiful designs while in the air.

2. Knitting

Knitting is a great project to take on a plane as it's portable and doesn't take up too much space. You can knit a scarf, a hat, or even a small toy while in the air. Just be sure to bring circular or double-pointed needles as straight needles may be too long to take on a plane.

Tools to Bring on a Plane

When it comes to sewing projects on a plane, it's important to keep in mind that certain tools may not be allowed in your carry-on luggage. Scissors with blades longer than 6cm are typically not allowed, so consider bringing a pair of small embroidery scissors or investing in a pair of travel-friendly scissors with blades that fold or retract. Needles, thread, and small hoops are typically allowed in carry-on luggage, but it's always best to double-check with your airline before packing. And don't forget a small container to hold your needles and other small items.
