Thanks for all the enthusiasm and interest in our Sew Along which starts on June 1. We are so glad that many of you will be joining in the fun!
I wanted to share this Patchwork Craft Tool Wrap with you. This was a bonus project that I designed to complement A Spoonful of Sugar. You can download the free pattern from Sew News. The Patchwork Craft Tool Wrap features a simple patchwork exterior, and has a number of internal pockets to store your favourite sewing tools and supplies, They can be wrapped up so that are ready to take with you to a sewing class or retreat.
