"Today I made.....3 duffel type bags to store our blow up beds in....."

Some might say stuff sacs. But I agree it is more personal and enjoyable to make your own - not that I do - my wife is currently making a travel bag for her other latest creation which is a king sized quilt.

Glamping on a budget - not a bit - I love the things she does and am so proud of her.

We're on a really tight budget which is why no stuff sacs for me lol....got lots of material though and a bit of imagination which I think helps....my next job is to try to make a cutlery storage pocket in a roll...if that makes sense!

Would the said travel bag also be like a stuff sac?

Will put some pictures in a new thread - so as not to hijack the OPs great gadget.

But its curtain material made into a bag with carry handles and a zip - we also have bags made from vinyl table cloth for cutlery etc. LOL

Stuff sacs are more stretchy - it would seem - and can compress materials and bedding somewhat - useful when space is at a premium.

I bought two metres of the coated vinyl type material today from Dunelm for less than £3 and made a tablecloth for our dining table in the living area, a cloth to cover the top of our aluminium latted table in the kitchen to enable it to be more useful as a work surface and I also covered the table at the side of our kitchen stand which had been damaged during storage.

Still got a bit left so might line the drawers of our plastic drawer set.
