Iron Caddy Pad
The last time I went
to a quilt guild workshop, I volunteered to bring an extra iron for the
attendees to use. This meant I had to put a hot iron in my car after which I
didn’t think about beforehand. Not a good thing to do.
When I sew, quilt, or
whatever else I’m creating which features fabrics, I am a big believer in washing
my fabrics first and ironing as the project progresses. So, I’ve made a
portable iron caddy that also converts to an ironing mat. I love this!
The Caddy Pad pattern
comes from Sisters’ Common Thread. The pattern comes with a piece of
heat-resistant fabric for the lining.
The main and handles/binding
fabrics depict sewing-related themes: The Dressmaking Collection—by Amy Barickman, The Vintage Workshop, a division of Indygo Junction for Red
Rooster Fabrics. I used a piece of
aqua elastic and two thimble buttons.
This photo shows the exterior
of the unfolded caddy pad.
Here is what the
lining side looks like with the heat-resistant fabric. Now I’m ready for any future
sewing adventures outside my own sewing room.
This is a brilliant idea, June, and I love the thimble buttons! You really know how to go with a theme.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!
