Tote Your Iron with a Heat-Proof Caddy
It Works As a Pressing Pad, Too!
This clever caddy was designed for toting an iron. It’s perfect for traveling and for quilt retreats and classes.
The caddy opens up into a pressing mat. That also means you don’t need to wait for the iron to cool before packing it up. Nice!
There are a few tips that help with making the caddy. One is to use stretchy hair bands for the elastic. They look nice and will wear well.
