Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Sew4Home shows how to make a car caddy to keep things organized on long trips (or on errand running around town). It hangs from the headrest of the front seats. You can hang it so it faces the back seat to keep the kids’ things contained, or if you’re driving solo you can hang it over the front of the passenger seat to keep all of your essentials within easy arms reach. It would be great for road trips! Get 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.
I use the front seat for stuff all the time and no fail, it falls off the seat out of reach. Brilliant. Thanks.
