An idea, or chore, can sit naggingly in the back of your mind and so sometimes you just have to do it - regardless of other pressing matters that should really take priority - to get it out of your head..
I had a little plastic tool roll which was free with a magazine aaaages ago and had definitely seen better days so I wanted to make a bigger/longer nicer one... felt was my fabric of choice and the roll had to have flap that came over the top of the tools to stop them sliding out.... and this is the result of such a 'nag/idea':
Its really simple - grey felt on the outside, pale blue on the inside, sewn with cream thread to coordinate with the cream ribbon which ties everything shut. Am v please with myself (patting myself on the back! lol)... OK its not rocket science but I like it - and more importantly - it works!
Look at all the lovely tools I can get in there! Even room for a glue stick and a mini mister! OK the only essential that's missing is a paire of scissors - they have to be just tucked in without being in a pocket - 'cos when they were in a pocket the tool roll didn't 'roll' up as nicely! :o( (though look carefully - there's a pair of tiny decopage scissors.... ) (oooh and my small metal will go in there - when I've found it)
please note the label sewn into the side - also coordinating nicely :o)
Could I place an order please. Something bright, ooh purple and lime :)
