Description
A roomy fabric caddy keeps tools upright and visible while it moves from room to room or sits open on a worktable. The finished caddy stands 7 inches high, 13½ inches wide, and 6½ inches deep, with six slip pockets around the outside, a zippered pocket on one end, and expanding interior dividers that separate supplies or collapse flat for a wide-open center. Padded fabric handles attach with rectangle rings, so they fall flat against the front or back when the caddy is set down.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern only. Fabric, stabilizer, interfacing, zipper, strapping, hardware, and the base stabilizer are not included.
A coupon for the $5 Add-On Video is included at no extra charge, covering the more detailed steps alongside the printed instructions.
What You'll Need
- Main fabric (body, outer pockets, inner divider): 1 yard
- Lining fabric (lining, pockets, inner divider): 1 yard
- Coordinating fabric (bindings, handles, handle tabs, stabilizer sleeve, zipper pull): 1 yard
- ByAnnie's Soft and Stable, 58 inches wide: ½ yard (one 18in x 58in package)
- Fusible interfacing: ¾ yard (e.g. Shape-Flex Fusible Woven Interfacing)
- One 9 inch or longer single-slide handbag zipper
- 1½ inch polypropylene strapping: 1¼ yards
- Four 1½ inch rectangle rings
- Base stabilizer (Plaskolite, foam core, plexiglass, or heavy cardboard): 5¾ inches x 12 inches (e.g. ByAnnie Bag Base Stabilizer, 5¾ x 12 inch)
- 50 weight polyester thread to match the fabrics
Save directional prints until you are comfortable with the construction, as they can call for extra yardage. Quilting the fabric on a longarm calls for additional Soft and Stable.
Perfect For
- Sewists who want a portable caddy that keeps tools upright and visible instead of loose in a basket
- Organizing a sewing, knitting, or craft station that moves between rooms
- Makers comfortable with zippers and bag hardware who want a sturdy, structured build
- A gift for a crafter, nurse, teacher, or hobbyist who carries supplies from place to place
Why You'll Love This Pattern
The expanding dividers do the real work. Opened, they split the interior into sections that keep spools, rulers, and tools from sliding together. Pressed flat, they clear the way for one tall project or a stack of folded fabric. The same caddy handles a tidy notions station and an oversized work in progress without any change to how it is built.
Soft and Stable gives the walls and base their structure, so the caddy holds its shape whether it is full or empty. The padded handles attach with rectangle rings and lie flat against the front or back, which keeps them clear when the caddy sits open. Built in a directional novelty print, a calm floral, or a themed fabric, it reads as a finished, deliberate piece. For a smaller caddy in the same style, sized for a desk or a remote-and-notions station, see the In Control Caddy pattern.
