Talk about perfect timing. What a great idea, Tatman!!!!
Most of my lacemaking these days is done on my lunch hour, so I carry my
pillow back and forth to work. A bag that will protect it is essential. I'm
working on a Milanese piece that needs to be transferred from my small cookie
pillow to a larger one for the second part of the pattern. Problem is I don't
have a bag big enough for my 22" pillow. Most of the large bags I've seen are
cloth, don't close completely, and way too expensive. I would make one
myself, but my sewing machine is out of commission.
I went on Amazon and ordered the M-Wave bag for $24...with free shipping It
came yesterday. Nicely padded, zips all around. Only thing I would have
liked is a shoulder strap, but that's easily added.
I cut a piece of corrugated cardboard about 4" wide and long enough to go
around the pillow to keep the bag from squishing down on the work. It fits
beautifully.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I am a cyclist as well as a lacemaker, and when I was ³window shopping²
online for fun stuff for my bike, I happened on the wheel bags that carry
and protect your extra wheel assembly. I immediately saw this bag as a
large size(24-32 inch) cookie pillow travel bag:
