Strap:<\/strong> Fold 3\u201d x 11\u201d strip of fabric in half lengthwise WS together and press. Open and press both long edges in, \u00bd\u201d to WS then fold again 1\u201d to WS overlapping, giving you a 1\u201d wide strap.\u00a0 Now stitch lengthwise to reinforce the strap along both edges and up the middle. \u00a0Set strap aside for next step.<\/p>\n Body of Bag:<\/strong> Layer Insul Brite<\/a>, lining fabric RS up and then body fabric WS up. Insul Brite will be your bottom layer against the needle plate when you sew. Pin layers together around the inside of the rectangle to hold the layers together. Place long top edge of the strap to RS of body fabric layer 3 \u00bd\u201d down from top edge, double check your fabrics if using a one way directional fabric for your body fabric to make sure the direction of your strap and body are going the same way (Image 1). Stitch around all four edges using a 3\/8\u201d seam allowance but leaving a 3\u2019 opening for turning on the bottom edge. Run an extra row of stitching over the strap edges to reinforce (Image 2).<\/p>\n Before turning<\/strong>, clip off the corners outside the corner stitching to allow for less bulk at the corners, be careful not to clip your stitches (Image 3). Turn and press, using a piece of Wonder Under<\/a> to close the opening.<\/p>\n<\/a>Whether you are packing supplies to take to ASG Conference, or heading to a chapter stitching event, this caddy is the perfect way to safely and easily take your travel iron with you. I made the caddy to fit my Sun Beam Compact Travel Iron model #GCSBT-100, but there are similar size models by Dritz, Rowenta, and other Iron makers.\u00a0 It also fits nicely in my sewing machine caddy along with my 9\u201dx 12\u201d Omnigrid combination cutting and pressing board.<\/p>\n
