Sylvain Bergeron at WeAllSew needed to make a wrap of some kind to protect his rolled-up art quilts to take to a lecture, class, or event. He had been using a heavy plastic bag designed for fabric rolls, which worked relatively well, to a point. A bag has a set size and it could become too small (too tight) or too big (too loose) if he rolled up too many or too few quilts together. So he opted to make a "wrap", a flat piece of fabric with ties to cinch it just right (but not tightly) for whatever size of roll he had to protect. Think of it as a soft protective tarp.

From Sylvain Bergeron at WeAllSew:

"Once in a while, a project will send you right back to your roots as a sewist. When I started sewing, functional projects (aka ‘gear’) for the house, camping, etc., were often the most fun, engaging and satisfying for me. Nothing gave me more satisfaction than designing and constructing a practical piece of gear from scratch. So while the Make Your Own Gear (MYOG) movement is gaining momentum, for me it was always my first love in sewing.
