Steps To Complete
|
Using an air-erase pen, draw a 14" x 22" rectangle on the lightweight canvas. Leave 1" excess fabric around the shape. |
|
A template, or printout of a design, is an excellent tool to help with placement. |
|
Remove the templates and draw lines connecting the marks. |
|
Attach the hoop to the machine and load the first design. |
|
When the design has finished, hoop the fabric for the next design. It is okay if the first design is hooped -- the design will not be damaged. |
|
When all the designs have finished, trim away the excess stabilizer on the backside of the embroidery. |
|
Lay the embroidered outer shell on top of the stiff double-sided fusible interfacing. |
|
To prepare the pad pocket, cut a piece of print quilter's cotton to 14" x 17". |
|
Lay the inner lining fabric flat with the right side facing up. |
|
To prepare the crayon pocket, cut a piece of lightweight canvas to 14" x 7". |
|
Lay the crayon pocket on top of the inner lining, aligning the side edges together. Place it with the bottom edge of the pocket about 1" up from the center of the inner lining. |
|
Sew a 1/8" seam along the side and bottom edges of the pocket. |
|
To create the handles, cut two pieces of lightweight canvas to 4" x 14". Fold the long raw edges in 1/2" and press. |
|
Align the ends of the handles with the top and bottom edges of the inner lining, spacing the handles about 2" in from each corner. |
|
Align the embroidered outer shell on top of the assembled piece, right sides together, with the embroidered end at the top. |
|
Turn the caddy right side out; press. Turn the fabric of the opening in 1/2"; press. |
|
Fill the caddy with doodle and sketch pads, coloring books, crayons, markers, and more! |
|
This coloring caddy is the perfect carry-all for road trips, visits to the doctor's office, and much more. |
