Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Sharla from My Little Gems and Little Gems Shop shows how to make a car cozie fabric storage roll for cars. The long fabric roll has pockets to store individual cars, as well as a fabric “road” for them to drive on. Make one of these and fill it with a handful of toy cars, and you’ve got an awesome handmade Christmas gift for a little boy! Go to the tutorial.
Want a car cozie but don’t want to make it yourself? Get one from her Etsy shop.
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.
i LOVE this idea. i (kathryn) am the one who submitted this link to be considered for the website. however, i am not in participation with the my little gems blog or her etsy shop. the genius mama behind this tutorial and who runs the my little gem blog is named sharla. she gets ALL the credit for this 🙂
Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding! I’ve edited the document to give her real name.
Hi, THANK YOU for linking me and giving my etsy shop a plug too 🙂 My name is Sharla not Kathryn- so you might want to fix that 😉 Thanks again, Sharla@mylittlegems
