Abstract: Disclosed is an article of manufacture which, except for a zipper, is made from fabric textile and which functions as an all purpose travel accessory item. In one orientation, the article has an extension which can be unrolled from a pouch and used as a bib or lap napkin. The extension has an outer layer that is made of terry cloth and a bottom layer which is made of a nylon fabric. When the extension is unrolled, the pouch will be open and tends to catch any crumbs or liquids that may spill thereon. In another orientation, the pouch may be turned inside-out and can be completely closed without having to roll-up the extension therein.
