This month a number of us were making sewing caddies. The pattern is a free one which can be found here. It was a fun day, but along the way, there was much wailing, whining and sulking (and not just by me, in case that's what you were thinking). The main problem we were all having was with our bottoms! Variations of the problem ranged from having left it at home ( most of us did the cutting at home before we met), cutting it the wrong size and sewing it on the wrong way round so all the seams would be on the outside - and yes, that last one was my error. Anyway, by the end of the day there was quite a collection of cute little caddies like these,
Ignore all the loose ends that I haven't yet sewn in but I couldn't wait to put things in it and see what it looked like.
Adorable! I love the fabric you chose for yours.

ReplyDelete"YAY" glad i can get to see it finished after all the trials of yesterday looks fab though it would have been interesting with the seams on the outside !!!!as you said i have never heard so many bottom comments as were flying around at our group !!!!
ReplyDeleteSue, your caddy is precious! Love the fabric you used, and so glad all your 'bottoms' got straightened out!
ReplyDeleteThose caddies are wonderful, thanks to the freebie link! I can think of many uses for them :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your caddy and I hate it when I have bottom problems! Thanks for the link to the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love the sewing fabric! :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are brilliant! I may have to have a go! I need a gift for next weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link, looks like a good pattern (well its free!) and I will be sure to learn from your mistakes!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of these caddies! Thank you for the link....I finally got it to work and printed off the directions. Looking in the stash for the perfect fabrics to make one...I know I have everything I need for it!
ReplyDeletea good variety here, sorry I missed the day but down in Birmingham, have downloaded the pattern but it looks a bit complicated but will have a go seem to remember that the pattern pits the pockets on the inside so will have to work that out or maybe pester you! Fear the next meeting clashes with the Malvern quilt show, I usually go and stay with a friend in London for a few days and we go in her car to it
ReplyDeleteYour caddy looks great! It was a fun day despite the wailings! I'll post some more news on the Yorkshire Modern Quilters blog later.
ReplyDeleteThey all look lovely and glad you like going to a great group. It must have been funny with all "wrong" bottoms. Wish we had that sort of thing in Oz. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI like the fabric you chose for your bag. Perfect for a sewing caddy. Does a modern quilter use modern fabrics or is it that they use modern techniques?
ReplyDeleteSo cute Sue! Love the plaid. Thank you for the link to the tutorial. If I make this, I'll take extra care sewing the bottom on correctly.....or I'll just call you up and whine!
ReplyDeletethese are terrific!
ReplyDeleteThanks for inviting me along Sue. Lovely ladies! I had fun! Sewing caddy 2 already under construction 😄 x
