Simple Sewing Machine Tote

Using the same fabric that I made my sewing machine cover with to make this tote, I also made a tote for my sewing machine

This is how it looks finished

Let's see how I made it.

Here I have all the fabric and lining cut out, bias tape sewn

sewn all the pieces at the bottom, then sewed the sides

 made the bottom sturdier with cardboard and lining

 

back of the tote, with two big pockets, pockets on the sides as well

 front of the tote with three pockets

Sewing Machine Cover

To match my mug organizer, I made a sewing machine cover with the same fabric

Here is the finished product

I simply sewed all the pieces together and sewed on bias tape

Mug Organizer

This organizer fits inside a coffee mug.  there are plenty of pockets outside to hold sewing tools.

Repurposed Jar - pincushion and organizer

I like saving the glass jars from salsa, spaghetti sauces, or pickles for my art or sewing projects.

With a pickles jar, i created a sewing accessories organizer with a pin cushion on top.

Here is the finished product

made pockets

All the things that went into this project

the finished product

the other side, with a button and elastic band to hold the pockets together

tada! a very handy organizer!
