Catch all caddy

This caddy had been on my to do list for some time, then I quilted the fabric and cut out the elements and it rested for a while. I thought I would complete it at the rainbow retreat but in the end, I focussed on it over two days and it was done.


I as a bit mystified by how the pockets on the inside went together, but I found a YouTube video and it confirmed that the pockets were open on the bottom. I mostly closed the bottom of the pocket and afterwards I thought that a mesh pocket might have been better. I looked at the Catch all Caddy that Kim had been gifted at a Simply Solids Retreat and hers had mesh pockets.


I didn't put the loops across the ends and I prefer the look. All in all, I am pleased with this finish and was able to take it to retreat last weekend. I think I am going to fill it with duplicates of my most used tools, but only if I have them already. fortunately we were gifted a rotary cutter in our retreat goody bags so that will go in along with the pins I was gifted, amongst other things from my house guest, Pippa.


This is my last finish for Q1 of the finish along.
