We made these in quilting last week, great gift idea for anybody, you can fill it with appropriate tools of trade! Only took 2 - 1/2 yrds contrasting fabric. This was the teachers sample.

Very nice!! :D:D:D

That's so cute, would you mind sharing the name of the pattern?
Thanks,

Nice job

what a great pattern - so many possible uses.

Where did you find the pattern? I love it.

Very nice.

Please share with us the name of the pattern! It's just adorable!

My FCE club will be making some to sell this fall. Can't wait to see the pattern on how to do them.

I have plans to make some for my office co-workers for Christmas.

What a cute idea! Is there a pattern we can find somewhere?

Cute idea

It is a McCall's or Simplicity pattern, just can't remember which one. I have it and hope to make some for Christmas gifts.

Found a link to the pattern number:
http://www.simplicity.com/p-4469-craft.aspx

Hancock Fabrics or Hobby Lobby usually run patterns on sale for a couple of dollars.

realy neat. can you share the pattern?

cute idea...now why didn't I think of that?

Very pretty. What a great gift idea!!!

like it lots.

Very pretty!

I think that I'd put at least one small plastic tube in a pocket for that seam ripper. I wouldn't take much time to slice my hand on it reaching for something else.
That sure is a pretty and very practical gift, and I'd like to make one for me. I also have far too many coffee mugs, some of which are man sized.

Whoops, clicked on the button twice.

What about a tiny lazy susan, with velcro glued to it and velcro sewed to the mug holder? Some crafty lady could make them. Just use a router to make a deep circle in it, then fill it with steel marbles and put a bottom on it with small lifters less high than the marbles. Paint first.

Thanks SherriB for providing the pattern site, as I didn't have it, our teacher just provided the pattern and directions. DonnaB

Thank you so much, I just found one on ebay that was a good price and willing to ship to me.

You can get seam rippers with covers. That's how I keep from injuring myself :lol:

I vowed never to make anything but quilts as my attempts at all else were met with failure. However, this is so cute and looks easy enough... I am going to attempt. thanks for the idea and those who provided links

What a great idea! :D :thumbup:

Made these, filled them with chocolates, and used them as favors for a recent family celebration. A big hit! They can be used as a sewing caddy or a desk caddy filled with pencils, pens, etc.

That is so neat and it would make a great gift..and I would love to make one for me as well :thumbup:

I know I saw a free pattern for this online but now I can't locate it. If I figure out where it was, I will share the link ;)

That would be a great way to organize my cupfull of stuff! I have one at my sewing machine and another at my cutting table. It gets kind of crowded. Great gift idea!

that sounds like a lot of fabric for this

So cute!

Very cute! Is there a pattern?

Found this on tube, is it the same one? Looks like it. :)

I soooo want to make some of these!

perfect gifts!

Very cute! I bought the pattern last time Joann's had a 99 cent sale on Simplicity patterns. I plan on making them for Christmas gifts for my family this year. I thought I would fill them with bags of homemade candies. Then afterward they could use them for pens, pencils, ects.

when we made them the pattern was called "pinafore mug"...it was a Nancy's notions pattern. Don't know if its on her web site yet or not. love them

So pratical and cute too.

cool idea!

Thanks.

What a neat idea, I love it. Do you have the name of the pattern that you can share with all of us? Thanks
