Car Caddy

I was very busy in my sewing room this December. I found  a tutorial for this Car Caddy  and knew it would be a perfect gift for my 3 1/2 year old grand nephew. The website gives very clear instructions and measurements, but I made a few alterations.

The road is made from a double layer of grey flannel wool.  The bright yellow felt was hand cut for the road lines. The numbers were cut with my Cuttlebug and By the Numbers dies from Papertrey Ink. All of the edges were bound with a blanket stitch on my sewing machine.

I added a little Stop sign with red felt and embroidery floss. Six pockets were stitched with yellow machine stitching and then the cars were added.

When finished playing with the cars, the caddy is folded in half .......

 folded again in thirds ..........

The front of the caddy has an appliqued racing car with 

flannel tires and button hub caps!! A piece of twill tape 

was inserted on one of the seams and velcro strips were

added to the strap and the front to hold the caddy closed.

The finished car caddy is 5" x 5" when folded ..... 

just the right size for little hands.

Thanks for visiting today!
