Zip-On Tool Caddy

For my latest project I wanted a tool bag that you could hang on the back of the chair. I find that in the Sewing classroom tools can end up all over the place, and tripping over them is not a fun experience.

I decided to make a simple tote that you could zip on and off of the chair. It was super simple and after making it I found the tote had a lot more uses than expected!

I works perfectly on the back of a chair, just like I wanted! It even fits nicely on the back of student desk chairs.

It’s also great for toiletries. Especially, when traveling.

I absolutely love it! Sewing instructions and pattern coming soon!

You can make two pouches with just 1/4 yard of fabric. It is also a great way to use that scrap fabric that you may have laying around the house.

TWO OPTIONS:

There are two tutorial options of the pouch available.

Option 1: The “Easy” option has a standard zipper installation and raw edges inside the bag. Difficulty level 3/10. You need to know how to use a zipper foot. The project also has lining and interfacing.

I hope you enjoy making this bag as much as I did!

Difficulty level for this project is a 4/10, mostly due to the grommets required for the handles.
