Easily Adjust the Size for Other Cords Too!
Is your iron’s cord getting in the way or do you need to wrap it up so your iron can go with you? This quick and easy solution will keep the cord nicely stored and prevent it from tangling. You can also adjust the size to fit other cords you need to organize.
Start with two coordinating fabric scraps and use fusible heavyweight interfacing or fusible fleece to give your cord keeper body. A small piece of 1/8″- 1/4″ elastic or a hair elastic along with a button will hold it in place around the cord.
From there it’s all simple sewing. So simple, that you can have several made in an afternoon. Since these make thoughtful little gifts, go ahead and stock up while you’re at it so you’ve got last-minute gifts on hand.
The completed cord keepers, designed by Tiffany Boushey for 5 out of 4, are about 8″ x 2 1/2″.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you! PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
