Cintia from My Poppet shows how to make her Bedside Gadget Caddy. It hangs from the mattress of your bed and has pockets for a book, remote, a pair of glasses, and other small items that often end up cluttering your bedside table. You can make the pockets any size you need to hold the items you want to keep by your bed. A sleeve on the back will hold a laptop or newspapers and magazines. Go to My Poppet for the tutorial.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
