Hi Cuties! We have all made these zip bags. However, I needed something to keep Nora's feet and gadgets separate from mine, so I made this bag, for hers.

All my brothers look like the metal feet, button foot, buttonhole foot are the same.
For this machine though, her quilting foot has plastic where all of mine are metal. She did get a walking foot with guide, that I had to purchase separately, for mine.
Anyway, I named it with the machine name (should have brought that down a little, closer to the zipper), so we will know which machine it's for.
Hope you have a great day, Cuties-Toogie

I agree -- what a great idea and thanks for sharing! This is another reason to make zippered bags. What a treasure of ideas Cuties have!

Lovely idea. I am just getting my GD a sewing machine for Christmas. I think we are going to have to make a bag (no embroidery) for her bits and pieces.

I keep my sewing machine feet in a plastic ice cube tray. They fit across the drawer next to the machine. I write the foot's ID on the plastic and can see in a second who is missing.

Love this big time. Having the name of the machine on the bag even makes it more important. Great job.

What a great idea. "Nora's feet" will fit nicely into that lovely bag. :)

My family loves to make fun of me for "labeling" things, but it helps me stay organized.

I keep an small open container for mine, handy by my machines. As my feet are interchangeable, I don't have all of them out, so I was thinking I need to make me some bags like this.

toogie by toogie 23 Sep 2016

I like to be organized too and family always like to make good fun of mom. Mine do it too, especially my youngest.

Great idea as the bag those bits would have come in is just not up to the task of surviving being handled all the time.
I keep my bits in a small rectangular ice cream container (hubbie says he eats all the ice cream so I can have the containers) but this looks so much nicer.

I didn't know ice cream was actutally bought in small containers....lol..my hubby makes 4 and a half gallons at one time!
I too, keep mine in a small plastic container handy by machines. Thanks

Hi Toogie---Great project. At first my eyes stopped at 'Nora's feet' I thought Whaaaaat! Of course we should really read the whole thing. Just struck me as funny----storing Nora's feet. Great project my friend.

Oh wonderful idea and how you carried out for your granddaughter. I am sure Nora will love sewing and more for a life-time. She's really lucky to have you as her grandma. Happy sewing - Maria

I'm the lucky one Maria, thanks. We all went together somewhere last night. When we got back, we helped get the children in. We told them by and went out to leave. I remembered I had left my purse on Avery's wheelchair. I knocked on the door to retrieve it, and Nora had already teared up to cry, saying she missed Gram!-lol-it had only been a few seconds. I don't know how we will survive 11 days apart!-lol

Aw Shirley, I am the lucky one, but she may agree with you. She tells her mom she loves 'Gram' all the time, her mom said. I told her mom she tells me too.

How clever you are. I had to find a plastic box to put my last Embroidery machine bits in as it all came in a zip plastic bag.

I use mine out of a small plastic container too. I wanted to have it all together for her, thanks.
