Have one like that...received it here on the board in the secret pal swap...also have a large hoop that I put a piece of fabric in that I just couldn't bring myself to cut and it is hanging up on the wall in my sewing room too.

I'm glad you shared that! I have a few embroidery hoops and didn't really know what to do with them other than make them in to a wall hanging... that makes a fun way to hold some tools :)

Now that is cool! I would like to use this for our quilt show give-away. You can usually find them in a bundle at goodwill. Sooooooooo cute!

fabulous! great find

Yes, especially for the old wooden ones.

Thanks for the pic, I'm now hunting a hoop to do this.

LOVE IT! very handy too!

What a great idea.

In my cleaning out yesterday I found a couple of things I could use for this. I started to throw the away but glad I did not now.

How creative! Would have never thought of that kind of use.

I love that!!!! I want one. How neat would that look to have a couple of those hanging together in the sewing room?!?!

Great idea-now I know what to do with my surplus hoops! I have a really big oval one that I thought I would like for hand-quilting, but find it a bit awkward, so I never use it. Might turn out nice! Thanks for posting the pic!

Very clever idea!!

My husband would probably like the idea that it only needs one nail or hook to hang it. :-)

What a lovely idea!!

Can't wait to make a few for gifts. THANKS so much for sharing the idea

That's cute and handy... thanks for sharing...

So cute!! I see embr. hoops at estate sales sometimes. Will have to remember this.

That's a wonderful idea!!!

Cute idea. Thanks for sharing.

I think this would be fun to make for knitting supplies, some small scissors, cable needles, stitch holders...

Sometimes we just have too much plastic storage. This would perk up any sewing room. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent idea - thanks for sharing

oh wow.. this is great... I have several sizes of oval hoops that I think would work great with this idea!!!

I came up with an old metal quilting hoop I'm going to do this on. Now I just need to pick the fabric, I'm thinking embrodery something on the top half of the fabric a solid color and a print of notions on the bottom half. I'll post as I get it done.

The Metal hoop was to small so I got a big wood hoop.

Great idea. Love it. Will definately be making this one.

Thanks for sharing that. I thought it was a clever idea. I might make a few of them.

Ooooh....great recycle/reuse!!!!

Does anyone know how it looks on the back side? Is there a pattern?

I just laid the top fabric on the hoop,make sure it covers and hangs over a little all around the hoop. Then I placed a folded piece on the bottom half for the pocket.Pin it sew the lines to separate the sections for tools. then put it in the hoop and trim. I then glued a ribbon going around to hide the little bits of fabric edges and also glued a bow on top. This way the back was like a quilt back all one piece of fabric. good luck. very easy and quick.

p.s. Mine is the blue one on page 3

Great Idea!

Thanks for sharing. Would make excellent gifts for quilters.

Clever idea. Now to find a place to hang it!

Ooh! I really like that, such a great idea.

What a great idea. I have a small collection of scissors with handles like girls, cats, etc. This wold be a great way of displaying the handles.
