Sew Your Own Heat Proof Iron Caddy

Perfect For Retreats And Sewing Excursions

Stitch up this quaint heat proof caddy to tote your iron. Arrive at your next retreat with a stylish bag that unfolds to reveal a cute travel iron. No need to wait in line to press quilt blocks, the caddy unfolds and becomes an ironing pad.

The tote is designed to use heat resistant fabric, so the the iron can be packed in while still hot. Layers of padding protect the iron, and anything else that might be in your sewing bag. Choose the prettiest fabric, match your sewing bag, or sewing room decor.

T.In The Burg It’s stylish, and so easy to make. Fat quarter friendly, or find a piece of fabric to cut the main body of 14″ x 171/2″, plus. If using a fat quarter, there will be sufficient to cut 2 pieces for the handles!

After pressing simply fold the mat and fasten with super cute buttons to secure the tote, front and back.

Pinterest In the video Kaye Wood demonstrates how to fold the caddy. It folds up snug and secure ready to tote off to your next sewing excursion!

Why not give the free pattern a try, provided by Tri County Quilters. However the pattern is suitable for a regular sized iron.

Easy-peasy travel iron caddy.

51 comments:

i'm wondering where you found the instructions for the iron caddy? the pdf tutorial looks great and i think i will be making one soon! i would love to be able to let the maker know how i go (and to say thanks)

and i LOVE the fabrics you used to make yours

Thank you for the link Kaaren as I have wanted to make one of these for quite a while. Yours looks great. Hugs.....

Wow, thank you Karen. It's a good idea and useful too. Great! Lidia

It looks great Kaaren, I like the idea of using the heat resistant fabric with the batting like backing on it.

I love your caddy. I, too, have been wanting to make one of these for a long while. Thanks for sharing the link.

Love your caddy! I have one like it that someone made for me as a gift, and I absolutely love it! The link to Debra worked for me, and you are right...her quilts are beautiful!

The iron caddy looks wonderful! Love those fabrics even though I usually use earth tones and civil war print in my quilts. I do think the funky brights are well used in accessory projects. The link to your friends quilts worked good for me. She really does have some beautiful offerings!

Spiffy. I don't think any LQS around here carry heat resistant fabric. Wonder if JoAnns does? Thanks for the info.

Thank you for the caddy pattern! This is on my to-do list for use in my travel classes

Very cute, and practical, too!

That is an awesome iron caddy. I don't often take my iron, but the caddy is so cute and I might have to make one just for fun. lol

Love the fabby you chose for your iron caddy. Very nice and TFS the link. BTW, how is Safe Harbour coming along? Have a wonderful day. Jackie :)

Very cute and what a great idea if one goes to a lot of retreats and classes!! Thanks for the idea and the tutorial!!

Gosh that's cute! My iron doesn't travel, but might need one anyway--it's so cute!

How sweet is this!!! Thanks for the pattern...and the changes!! P

Perfect, Kaaren. Great idea! I likw the fabrics you picked out. They are not my "go to" fabrics but I do like them for other things. (Looks like a Vera Bradley!) Susannah

Thanks for the link. This is very useful.

Thank you, Kaaren. The iron caddy looks wonderful. I like the tips you suggested. Yours friends quilts are beautiful! It sounds like a fun summer sewing along with her :-)

I've seen a commercial pattern while travelling lately, and they had a sample made up. When I unfolded it I thought it would be easy to figure out and make my own pattern. You made it even easier with the link, thanks. I think most general fabric shop will have the heat resistant fabrics, I've also seen it at Joann's and Hobby Lobby in the U.S.

Wow! What a great idea. You did an awesome job. isn't it fun to use bright fabrics for a quick project like this? Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link. I bought an iron tote that somebody recommended on their blog and it's a piece of JUNK! At least I got a refund and they didn't even want the product back. Go figure! Now I can make one that I know won't break and it will be way prettier too! I love your fabric choices. Thanks again.

So cute! Love the out-of-your-comfort-zone fabric... perfect for this project! Great tips from you as well for those of us who just have to make one! Thanks for the link!

I need one NOW! lol Great idea!!

At a quilting workshop in Tuscany a few years ago, one of the ladies simply slid her hot iron into an oven mitt which she had brought with her, and so that is what I do. It works just fine, but of course, your carrier is much prettier. ;-)

This is very useful. I liked very much. Thanks for the link.

Excelent idea!! Must be nice for a handbag too!!:)

Great idea, I was just going to look online for one to make! Thanks for posting and I really like the hints. LauraT

I love this idea, thanks for sharing the link. I could use this to take my iron with me to Sit and Sews.

This really is such a neat little pattern - I have seen it on-line too somewhere!!! You did a great job with it, and I've taken note of your hints/preferences!! Thanks for sharing your completed caddy, somehow this project calls for fabric that is colourful and bright!!!!

Your travel iron caddy is so cute and so practical! What a perfect idea!!

I made one of these a year ago! I LOVE mine!

Wow--I would not have guessed you would have that fabric in your stash! LOL This is such a clever idea--caddy/ironing pad. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing what you learned in the making.

Thanks for a great instruction 8-) Karin på Ösäter http://karinpaosater.blogg.se/

Es una bossa molt pràctica per la planxa de viatge. Una molt bon idea. Bona setmana

So darn cute! I have wanted to make one also...thanks for the link and extra tips.

Just perfect, Kaaren! No more waiting in line for the iron when you take a quilt class! And the that great fabric will always identify it as yours! Cheers!

Kareen,your caddy is so beautiful! Please congratulate your friend Debra, her work is amazing! Beautiful and fantastic! And thank you so much for sharing with us the pattern! I like so much and y try one to me! Have a nice day! A hug!

Thanks for finding such a nice "Travel Iron Caddy" pattern. Your caddy is so cute, a very happy choice of material. :D

Awesome caddy, Kaaren! Thanks for the link! Tell Ollie hello!!

How perfect is that?? How sweet of you to share the link!!

Kaaren, that is SO cute. Wouldn't that make a perfect gift for the quilter on your list! Is it big enough for a full-size iron or just a travel iron? LOVE love that fabric, that would hide it'self very nicely in my stash! Hope you're having a great summer!

How clever! I never take my iron anywhere -- well, cuz I never go anywhere, lol, but I would definitely use this if I did. Thanks for sharing!

Aren't these caddies great? I made one about a year ago and showed it to my small quilt group and they all wanted one. It's fantastic for taking to a class or another quilter's house for a sew-a-thon. Yours looks wonderful and I like your added change ideas. Thanks for posting them too.

I love the caddy, just the perfect need for a quilter! thanks for posting this. have a beautiful day my friend! Hugs,Marie

I'm going to bookmark the link, thanks for sharing it. I just need the travel iron first. Love your funky fabrics, you did a great job.

Here's a copy of instructions: http://tricountyquilters.weebly.com/uploads/3/0/2/4/3024945/iron_caddytote.pdf

I made one today, and hope to enjoy it very much. Thank you for the info on it.

Thanks Kaaren, wanted one of these for awhile now. So nice of you to share with us.

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.

Other construction tips are provided in the following video by Angie Mueller.

Patterns are available for both a regular iron and a smaller travel iron designed by Sisters Common Thread. A free pattern is available for the larger size from Tri County Quilters.

FREE Iron storage case sewing pattern and video

If you would like to make yourself a bag to store or carry your iron then we have just the free pattern and tutorial for you. These bags can be really difficult to find in the stores, so it’s great to have the chance to sew one yourself.

This Iron Case features a wrap-around zip side closure and a sturdy carrying handle on top. In addition, it is bias finished on the outside so that the seam allowances don’t take up valuable space on the inside. It looks so good too!

You just have to follow the step-by-step instructions and you will have your own well-shaped case for your iron.

Sizing info: When you have made yourself an Iron Storage Bag it will measure approximately 11½″ (29 ㎝) wide by 6″ (15 ㎝) high by 6″ (15 ㎝) deep. This should be ideal for all standard sized household irons.

The step by step video

The fabulous designer, Sewing Times, has a huge following of keen sewers on her YouTube channel. You may watch her full step by step video tutorial for the Iron Storage Bag below:

[NOTE – this shows you the size of the pieces of fabric you need to cut, and how to draw out the simple pattern piece you need to create the shaped piece for the top and bottom of the case. There are no pattern pieces to download, just watch the video for what you need to cut out.]
