Another Sewing Caddy

Look what I whipped up this weekend. I made another sewing caddy on Saturday afternoon. I made this for my future daughter-in-law for Christmas. She doesn't sew but I think a person could use this for a variety of things. I am going to fill the pockets up with little goodies so she will have to search the whole caddy for little surprises.
Some of you might remember this yellow milk glass cup and saucer I found at an antique store this summer. This will be going in the caddy too. You probably figured out that my soon to be DIL likes bright yellow.
So now I need to go shopping for more goodies.

With Passion,

See me waving, Carrie. I like yellow too! (wink)

I love the caddy and yes, it could be used for many things other than sewing. And what a great idea to fill it with all kinds of neat things. What a thoughtful gift!

It's wonderful, Carrie...about how long do they take to make?

Hi Carrie, just wanted to know if you received my Quick Christmas Swap yet?

I love that bag, but I have quite a few already. I'm tempted to make one now. Yellow is my favourite colour after red.

I love the caddy, do you have a pattern or is it a tutorial somewhere?? Love the yellow tea cup also. Yellow was my favorite color growing up. I have a friend who says you need a little yellow in every room for sunshine.

That tote is just so pretty. I know your daughter in law will love it. Hey, got an idea... if she doesn't I know someone that would love to have it. hehe

Carrie, this tote is too cute, I love the dot fab you choose to make it with, a good contrast. I need to make myself something like this as well.

Diane said...

This is so cute! Your DIL will love it!

Dawn said...

The caddy is darling. Is it your own pattern?

That caddy is a perfect shape. Sort of old fashioned picnic basket shaped. Love the fabric. It turned out so well. She'll love it.
