Back to School: Felt Locker Caddy By Nikol LohrNot just for the school-bound, this cute felt caddy is also at home in your office (on the side of your filing cabinet), kitchen (fridge), or on any metal door.You can also easily adapt this caddy for a specific purpose: bed frame caddy for dorm room or camp (pockets for book, flashlight, cellphone, ear plugs); knitting (skinny pockets for needles, lots of wee pockets for accessories); sewing or quilting (add a pin cushion, a long pocket for rotary cutter, a small button-flap pocket for extra blades, and a triangular, open-bottom pocket for scissors); car caddy (pockets for iPod, cellphone, GPS, chargers, pens, change for tolls). If you don't have a metal surface, try the hanger or loop options at the end of the tutorial.Because it's lightweight and non-woven, felt is the perfect fabric for this type of project. Even with multiple layers for pockets and appliques, felt is airy and easy to sew, and doesn't require any special finishing. I've included directions for thick felt or standard commercial felt, which should be doubled, and made a project with each type of felt.The instructions are for an 8"x24" caddy, sized for a half-height locker, but you can scale it to whatever size you need. (While I don't give explicit instructions for the simple winter accessory caddy, it's roughly 12"x14" before the hanger flap, and uses a children's hanger.)Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in CRAFT Projects | Digg this! blog.craftzine.com |
