I got a great deal on some sewing machine feet for my machine from a local eBay retailer and wanted to have a home for them. I've been looking for something functional yet pretty to keep my sewing machine, embroidery machine and serger accessories in but couldn't find anything that I liked in the store. I have a few compartmentalized tackle boxes but they loose functionality when the things that I need to store just don't all fit into the same size case. I took a couple of ideas from things that I saw and made this up: It's a book style case, with 4 pages, and 86 vinyl pockets of varying sizes. I'm not currently planning to take this anywhere so it's not as though it needs to be super secure, but if I travel with my sewing accessories I will do it in style!
Here's a shot of inside the first two pages.
And here are the back two pages.
It's hard to tell that the accessories are in vinyl pockets, I guess I did a great job eliminating glare with my camera, but if you look closely you can see that there is stitching outlining the accessories.
Here's a matching zippered pocket for things like my pencil other marking instruments, and a few notions/accessories that I don't mind rubbing together. Now if I could just figure out how to make a sewing machine tote that was as sturdy as the commercial ones I'd have a matching set!
