"making up a travel pillow, it sits & gather dust...I prefer my simple small 5 block pillow" Noelene
I have to say, that I loved the nuances and design detail of the Spanish pillow on YouTube. I have created this kind of thing for other uses, but the bobbin tote was even more involved (perhaps too much so, for the average sewer and bobbin lace makers would perhaps prefer to spend that kind of time, actually making lace). I am reminded of when my son was little, long ago, he had tons of Lego's, and I got sick of picking them up and stepping on them. I made a huge circle (it was between 60-72" wide), with a drawstring at the outer edge. He had to play on that mat, and when done, we could just pull the string on two sides and all was contained. I don't see why you couldn't just make a large circle of a lovely fabric and do the same thing with your bobbin lace project, adjusting the circumference to your needs. Your cover cloth should protect your work, and you would contain your bobbins as per usual, then a circle could fit fairly closely but not too taut, or a square could be velcroed and have grosgrain handles. It would be a quick and inexpensive solution, when on the run. Then you can take whatever project you have on the pillow within seconds. It isn't that different in principle, than a casserole cover/carry/tote, except you may not feel you need to contain the heat or cold. A single layer of fabric would suffice, and if you think it would get bumped or want to protect your bobbins, etc., you could run a layer of batt interlayer between two fabrics, according to your wants/needs.
