Mini Iron Caddy

Another Mini Monday is done, I started on Monday -- really I did.  Today I completed a Mini Iron Caddy.  It only took me four trial runs out of paper.  You see I had the dimensions for the regular sized iron, but I don't want to carry that to classes so I worked....and worked...and worked to come up with a tote that would fit my Steamfast mini iron.  Now that it's done, it probably would be fairly simple to replicate, but who needs two?  If you decide to make an iron caddy for yourself, make sure your fabric and thread are 100% cotton, to avoid melting.  At least that's what I've read when researching caddy ideas.  The fabric is Wilmington Prints, Isabella.  The buttons came from one of my husband's old uniforms (now you know why everyone needs a button jar) not the fanciest, but functional and flat.  The ironing surface is iron quick, one layer of Warm and White, one layer of Insulbrite.

Happy sewing.
