I have several plastic buckets, smaller than 5 gallon that I would like to make covers for, for gifts, with lots of pockets etc. Does anyone know where I can find a pattern? thanks

my gosh, let me look around. Maybe Keepsake Quilting. Have you checked their web site? I know I've seen a pattern. If I find one somewhere else, I'll let you know.

Could you alter a mug rug pattern to make it bigger? Sounds like the same idea.

I don't know what a mug rug is, but sounds like it might work. where can I find a pattern.

They used to have patterns by McCalls, Butterick or Simplicity. One of those companise.

I have a pattern that a friend of mine came up with that makes a tool caddy out of a 2 lb coffee can or a #10 can. It has pockets on the inside and outside. If this is something you had in mind, PM me.

Here are a few sites to try.

thanks for the links

You're welcome, craftybear. These sites have all kinds of free patterns on each one of the them, plus most of them direct you to other sites too for even more freebies. I found a couple new ones for me too.

This is what I am looking for.
