Holiday Storage Roll Up

We love making our favorite quick projects in holiday fabrics! With a few modifications, we turned this makeup brush roll into a tool caddy for your favorite stitching tools!

You can find the original instructions here. 

To make our modified version, I started by cutting 2 pieces of fabric and one piece of batting 14" by 16".

 Layer the fabrics right sides together with the batting underneath.

Using metrosene all-purpose 100% polyester thread, stitch through all layers all the way around the 14" by 16" rectangle, leaving a 4" opening in the center of one 14" side.

Clip the corners and turn the project right side out. through the opening. Press well.

 Cut a length of ribbon 24" and fold it in half (right sides together if it has a right side) tuck the folded edge into the opening 8" from the bottom of the rectangle and pin.

Fold up the bottom edge of the rectangle 5".

Lay out your tools in the fold as you'd like to store them.

Use a temporary fabric marker to trace lines to separate your tools.

Stitch along the marks through all layers, securing at each end of the seam.

Fold down the top of the roll approximately 3" (so it just overlaps the bottom pocket.

Edge stitch the two sides and bottom edge of the rollup, being sure to close the opening and stitch the ribbon in place as you sew.

Tuck your tools inside. The top flap being sewn into the edge stitching make the storage more secure.

When using the roll, you can "turn out" the top pocket for easier access to your tools. 

Roll up your tools and tie with the ribbon to store!
