Ages ago I signed up for a local class to make a
Catch All Caddy . I managed to keep up with the class progress on the quite involved pattern throughout the several weeks of the term and felt rather pleased with myself. What do they say about pride and a fall??
Putting the caddy together didn't go quite as planned and as I missed the last class I put the project away and only felt guilty now and again when I thought of it. With the sewing room nearly finished (I hope!) I came across the almost finished caddy again and resolved this time to complete it!
I had had real trouble stitching the caddy together at the curved ends through all of these layers, but resolved this time to grit my teeth, go slow and get through it and that is what I did :) Of course, I then had to do it all again to attach the binding :(
Thank goodness for clips, pins just couldn't cope with the layers of
Soft and Stable
And here it is my Completed Catch all Caddy!
I resolved to only use stash fabrics for the caddy, as with the cost of the class (and the petrol to get there), the pattern, the
Soft and Stable, the bag hardware and my time it worked out to be a rather expensive storage bag. We have all been there :)
The interior of the caddy has useful dividers to keep things neat and tidy
and as you can see the caddy itself is packed full of pockets, so I will not be short of places to put things!
When I started the class I had visions of whipping up several of these caddies, but having completed this one I think I will leave it a while before attempting another.
