fabric tray tutorial

 

I’m excited to join in again this year for Skip to My Lou‘s Holiday Bake, Craft and Sew Along!  This project is really fun because you can make it as simple or complex as you’d like and there’s really no rules, love that.

I had made a tray earlier this year for my dad and I figured this would be a simple project to share!
This is a great project to make to combine with a few other goodies for a hostess gift, a gift for your not-so-organized husband as a place for him to set his glasses and wallet and spare change, or for a special friend.  Fill it with treats, magazines, recipes, anything works!  I’ve included dimensions to make three different sized fabric trays: pencil size (small), spare change size (medium), and magazine size (large).  This is also a great scrap busting project, so dig into your scrap bin and pull out your favs.  Enjoy!

 

Stop over at Skip to My Lou‘s Holiday Bake, Craft and Sew Along for the full tutorial!
 
 
I’d also like to note that there are a lot of similar projects out there, so if this isn’t your cup of tea, try one of these fab tutorials:
