My BFF made me this as an anniversary gift. She doesn't normally sew at all (yes, I'm trying to convert her) and totally surprised me. Especially since she was sewing the binding on in front of me!!!! :D She remembered that last summer I was having trouble stashing my Pepsi bottle, scissors and sewing supplies while camping. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: It has velcro on the back so it will hang from a camp chair. I thought I'd share it with you all --- would be a great "sellable" item, I think!

She looks like a natural for sewing----keep urging!
Darling tote, something we could all use! :thumbup:

Great idea and so cute. You are lucky to have a friend like that. Keep working on her.

I like it and think that I will make one for camping. I'm always losing my scissors. Yours is really cute with the rickrack and colorful print fabrics.

Jaw drooping great idea. I want one...I think two!

That is so cute and so useful. I might just have to try and make myself one to use when we go camping. But, I would also buy one to.

butterflies5518 07-13-2011 09:19 AM

sweet friend! She's a keeper.

Jammin' Jane 07-13-2011 09:20 AM

What an awesome gift idea!
Looks like you converted her!
She's probably already on to her next project!
Enjoy!

ROL -- I've known her for 54 years ---- don't know that I'll EVER get her converted!!!! She started an awesome applique quilt with ponies a year ago.......now she can't find the blocks she'd done!!!!!

MamaBear61 07-13-2011 10:53 AM

Cute idea and your friend did a very nice job for someone who doesn't sew.

This is a great idea, and I love the fabric on this one.
