I found some great stuff in the scrap booking isle at Michael's one day and got inspired to embellish a sewing caddy with a French sewing theme. I talked my friend Clara into doing one with me. What a great play day we had!

| Started with a caddy from Hobby Lobby. Already painted and distressed! $12.99 with the 40% coupon. The lining is sticky back fabric from a scrap booking French themed 12x12 paper pack from Michael's. My husband made the two wood dividers. I painted them to match and glued them in. |
 |
| Here is the caddy filled with all made goodies! |
 |
| This Blackbird Design Blog freebie was worked over one to fit an Altoids tin. |
 |
| I lined the box with some of the same sticky back fabric paper that I used on the caddy. My friend Clara gave me the needle minder. |
 |
| Clara made some of these darning pincushions and gave me one with a French Bee motif stitched on it. Love it! |
 |
| I had been working on a bee also, so I used it to make a thread keep. |
 |
| I tote this caddy all around the house, wherever I want to stitch on that sweet patriotic piece you see here! |
What a fun play day! I think I just might have to stitch that design too. I love it as a tin topper! Love the bee too!
ReplyDeleteYour caddy is beautiful! I love how you lined it, divided it and filled it with such beautiful treasures! A particular favorite is your bee floss keep! Where'd you get the base? Love the whole thing!!!
