I saw this being made on one of the Fons and Porter tv programs. Downloaded the pattern:
http://www.fonsandporter.com/content...ters_Caddy.pdf Making it was a nice break from some of my big WIPs :-) You start with a 5 quart bucket from Lowes, and some nylon screening (amazingly we had some on hand but I'm sure you can get it at a hardware store). The instructions are excellent...written in BabyLock terms (names for the feet) but no problem. One helpful hint was to use their J foot (which is the blind hem foot) to topstitch close to the edge of the binding. Note that I filled the caddy wth a significant part of my thread stash...I use pipecleaners to keep the spools and bobbins together. Quilters' Caddy [ATTACH=CONFIG]238092[/ATTACH] |

I saw this program....you did a great job

Thanks for this link and pic, it's really cute and very useful. Yours looks great! Also, love the pipe cleaner idea, very organized - may have to 'borrow' this idea. :-)

How fun. It will be so great to use.

Beautiful caddy.

DId you use fiberglass or aluminum screening? |

There was no serging involved. You basically enclose the edges of the screen (on top) with the binding -- pretty much the usual way except no hand sewing.
