This little cutie is great for anyone who likes to do hand work in the car. It will hold all the essentials and more. I just finished sewing this Thursday night before we left so I could use it on our trip. When I get back, I will put together a tutorial for you. (Edit: I added the link to the tutorial at the end) For now here are a few pictures I took before we left. ( I even used our suitcase to display it on!)

You will need one plastic cup holder. This is the kind that hooks onto the door next to the window. I saw a 4 pack of these in the Walmart auto section for $1.98. You will also need one metal can that fits your particular holder. (Mine is a pineapple can!)
spaceYou could have a taller can if you'd like, but this is what fit my holder.

Once you have the tutorial, you can sew one of these. Isn't she sweet? This one is made with the cutest fabric. The blue and red is "Fun with Feedsacks" by Glenna Hailey from P&B Textiles and the red is from RJR "The Roaring 20's and Beyond" by Betsey Telford.

I sewed little individual pockets to hold seam ripper, scissors, glasses, ruler, pens or pencils.
The inside of the can is lined around the sides and it will hold your spools of thread. If you're wearing your thread necklace from a previous TTT, this inside space will hold a bottle of water. I'm going to use this part for all my hexagons that I will be sewing on the way down. Don't forget the pincushion that's tied to the hook for all your pins and needles!!!
and now, this is how it looks in the car. It's already for me sew the time away.
I hope you enjoyed this edition of TTT. I really love trying to come up with fun things to make and share. What I really love are friends like you who leave such nice comments and encouraging words. Thanks a million!
