I recently took a trip across the country and flew for the first time in 12+years. I’m not deterred by terrorists, I just happen to hate the whole confusing process in airports and the few flights I took as a teen were less than ideal experiences. 
Anyway, to combat pre-flight anxiety I decided to do some sewing.
This bag is really just a prototype so don’t critique it too harshly. 😛
I went with blue and black to mimic the early uniforms in Star Trek Next Generation. If I worked for the Federation in a Sci-Fi future, I’d almost certainly be on the Science/Medical team. 😀
The badge is Voyager style with a rectangular, rather than oval base. Although, from the way the bag ripples and scrunches it appears more oval in the photo. It really is a rectangle!
I used a recycled pillowcase, zipper and straps for the bag. The blue canvas was new.
When I saw it was turning out fairly decent I decided to actually take it on my trip as my personal bag. So I added a few quick elastic pockets to a semi-lined interior.
So yeah, it’s cute and all but I will be ripping it apart fairly soon. I hate the zipper and unfinished interior.
It was totally worth spending the $2 on sale canvas and the 3 hours to whip it up though. I felt pretty special carrying it on my trip. 😉
