Review

Author Jasmine Hubble believes we'd all have more fun if we could be ready to take a jaunt at a moment's notice, and to that end she's filled her book with clever, lighthearted designs for extremely useful items that are often dual-purpose. More than 20 projects include beach towels and picnic blankets that double as carry sacks; a kid's cap that becomes a little pouch; a fanny pack that transforms into a full-size rain poncho; and a travel pillow that converts into a rest mat. There are also loads of tips on smart packing and on assembling "convenience kits" for traveling (filled with hand-laundry supplies or car-trip stuff, for instance). All the sewing is very easy, and patterns and templates are included. Hubble's credentials say it all: she designs and sells "practical patterns with as few pieces as possible." --Amy Handy
