Mug Sewing Caddy
 

I was in JoAnn today and I bought a big Christmas Mug. I thought it would be cute to make sewing caddies for my sewing sisters. I found a few on Pinterest but mostly already make for sale, or a few patterns that looked hard to do. Does anyone have an easy one for a large mug?

cool i like big mugs the bigger the better

Are you looking for a notions-holder that will fit into the mug, or what?

What is a mug caddy please?

I thing you want to watch this You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eecHfZ-h9dI. It's a Fave Crafts Mug Organizer.

Never heard of a mug caddy either but here are clear instructions on how to make one:

It is sort of a skirt that has pockets that goes around the mug. CUTE !!

That look's like a great idea for Christmas gifts.

I found this one which is kind of neat. Once you understand the basic principle, you can adjust the size to any mug. This would be a really cute teacher's gift. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByH...zJi/view?pli=1

After reading thru the directions again, I would omit the pockets inside the cup. I think that just fills the cup with fabric. But I do think I will try one just to see if it works.

This lady has many ideas for something to make for a quick gift.

I have one and to be honest use it mostly to hold my cutters etc. but my friend uses hers for all the marking pencils etc. that she has and does use the pockets on the inside as well as the outside.

Simplicity has a pattern that is good
i use mine all the time

I made one a couple of years ago and use it all the time - think I found the instructions on YouTube. I looked at one of the above linked pictures and recommend not using the one that shows pockets on the outside with holes in it - because if you put small scissors, seam rippers, pens, etc. (like I do) in those pockets, they would come through some of those holes.

Looks pretty handy & easy to make. Think I will make me one & a couple for gifts. Thank you everyone for the different options!

The pockets on the inside keep the rug from falling off. You need then to place counter weight for the outside.

Great idea for a gift for your sewing buddies. Thanks to all who posted links with ideas/patterns for this type item.
