Every
sewist should have a sewing caddy (sewing bag) for tools and notions. I made
one today based on the instructions from Sew It All February 2013 Issue.
The caddy has inside and
outside pocket. I made it from blackout curtain fabric I got for $2 per meter.
It turns to be quite sturdy. It measures 5 inch (14 cm) wide and 11 inch (28 cm) long for the base and 7.5 inch (19cm) tall.
This is the first hand carrying bag I made. It’s
simple but not quite straight forward. It has lots of stitching, mainly because
of the top stitching. I used my vintage Bernina 740 Favorit. It is a
semi industrial machine so it runs through the heavy weight fabric
effortlessly.
Here
is the sewing caddy.
And here is my Bernina 740 Favorit. I adopted it from an old lady who owned it since 1960's. It costs a small fortune to get it fixed. But this semi industrial machine is perfect for heavy weight fabric. It just run five or six thick layer effortlessly.
