How to Make Bedside Caddy
Have you gathered all your supplies?
Then lets get started on making the caddy.
Set aside the biggest piece of fabric for the latter part of the project.
Step 1
Plan your caddys dimensions and, accordingly, measure and cut out strips of cloth.
This project calls for strips of 6-7 cm in width.
Fold the cloth three times and iron it in place to crease the fabric.
This process will help you sew the cloth better.
Alternatively, you could also use sewing pins to hold them in place.
Step 2
You must measure out exactly how big or small you want your caddy to be.
Figure out what you want each pocket to holdlaptop, books, phone?
Place your book or laptop over the cloth to help you measure.
Dont forget to leave an inch gap around all four sides to allow for sewing.
Step 4
Switch out different colors for different pockets to really make your bedside caddy stand out.
Turn the swatches around and ensure that the edges are all even.
Step 5
Remember that big length of fabric you set aside earlier?
Pull that out and verify all the ends are pinned together in place.
Step 6
Its time to sew all your pockets.
you might hand stitch them, or just use your sewing machine.
Consider using a contrasting color for the thread youre using to sew the pockets.
Theyd go a long way to jazz up the entire project.
They also make the pockets look well-rounded, giving them a finished edging.
Are you wondering what the strips are for?
Then, take a look at what amazing handles they make.
Oh, and dont go sewing the pockets shut while youre attaching them onto the white backdrop.
Step 9
The last step is to sew the long white stripsthe handlesin place.
you could run an iron over the entire caddy to make it crisp and new!
