I finished this today. My husband asked me if I would make him something for him to keep his tape measure and pencils handy while he worked in the shop. The dogs keep running off with his stuff, I think they are secretly adding on to their doghouses. The little pockets on either side of the bottom are for his razor knife and the remote for his dust collector. The very top pocket has a spot for his glasses and three pencils.

I found a pattern for it from Green Pepper. Then I customized it to my husbands specifications.

You know what??? This is a fantastic idea~ :) I know many men on my christmas list that will get one of these this year. Thanks so Much!!
I love your configuration ... did you make this up or buy a pattern?
edited to say ... Opps we must have been posting at the same time or something. I will check into my patterns first. I think I might have one I can fix up like this.
