Crafter's Niche Giveaway

Normally I don't run out and buy a craft project and start on it the same day, but I did this week!  I saw an awesome project at Raising Homemakers, and I just had to make one for my give away!

This project I made is a Crochet Hook Holder.  It can even be a colored pencil holder for kids too.  This is great for traveling with your essential tools you need while on the road!  Raising Homemakers used shoe-string on their project, which looks fabulous too.  I didn't have shoe string on hand so I used ribbon.

I'm going to re-create how I did my project.  It was so simple! 
{Go to Raising Homemaker's web-page and see how they did theirs.}

Crochet Hook Holder

Taking a place mat of your choice, roll up the bottom edge to about 4 1/2".

Pin in place to make sure it is even all the way across.

 Cut 30" of ribbon and folded it in half tucking the folded end under the edge, as show above.
Shoe string can be used instead of ribbon. 
Make sure the shoe string ends are left showing.

Pin the ribbon in place, making sure it is sewn together when sewing end.

Sew each side first, then measure 1" from the sewn edge.

Using a ruler, mark 1" from each sewn pocket, as well as marking with pins all the way down.

I also used Fray Check on my clipped strings to ensure that it would not unravel.

Fit whatever you find useful in here to make your craft project easy for travel.

I left the last pocket bigger.  This way if I needed something wider, I had a spot.

You can also just continue sewing 1" pockets from one side to the next.

Here's what the holder looks like all rolled up. 

What a beautiful project!
