Thread: I saw an ironing tote today

I've made the iron caddy. Also I made one with laminate for the lining and it's great to carry lunch, open it up and you have a placemat. Also good for a baby quick diaper carrier and changing pad. I used the pattern texasladybug posted. here is more pictures and info about it. http://www.sisterscommonthread.com/products.html

that is cute and easy enough to make without buying the pattern.

There are several references on QB for this type of project. See: http://www.quiltingboard.com/general...n-t175046.html

I just typed "iron tote" in the search section and came up with several references.

That side wasn't quilted but still had a layer or two of warm and natural in it. The other side of the bag was quilted strips. And both sides had a backing(the inside of the bag). It had a binding along both sides of the top then binding was used all the way around the three closed sides to connect them. The handles were made into the top binding. Once her project was taken out her tote became her pressing surface. It was about the size of a fat quarter and I thought it was pretty cool. Has anyone ever seen these? Or do you have one?

Never saw one before but I know who's going to have on soon!

This thread is an excellent example of why we are reading the QB. Helping each other find whatever we're looking for.
