Hello Cuties! You know how I like to try different things. Well, I saw something like this the other day and so this is what I came up with.

I think I made it just a little too tall, but I had these pieces of clear vinyl cut already, so I just used them and guessed the rest. It is so hard for me to SEE the edge of the vinyl, when I place my ruler on top.
I used the same fabric inside too, with Pellon 809 on all 4 pieces. My edges do show where they are serged with the serger or over locker.
I didn't sew this until after lunch, so Kim was up and on my shoulder today (wink-wink, my Toogie reminder).
I'm not sure if there will be more until I can cut more vinyl. I have to bring cutting board, etc to my dining table and tape the vinyl to that, so it doesn't shift on me.The light is better in there too.
Anyway, hope you like it.-Toogie

I don't think it is too tall. A lot of times things are just not quite big enough for a long handle say a hair brush.
This is a clever idea you had.
Love the Aussie Mouse or hair spray.

lol- I wonder why!
This was not my idea, but is my version. I saw these before, part vinyl, part other fabric. I just made up my own size simply by accident(lol). I have 2 hair brushes in there and I still have room because its deep and wide.
Thanks for your encouragement.

Love this idea, you are such a clever woman to come up with ways to make these. I agree with babash not to tall.

Marian, I guess I will stay with this size, as I cut more vinyl. I cut it the size I used for my peek-a-boo bags. That way I can make either one, from the already cut vinyl. You know, whatever I'm in the mood to make. That is what is so good about my niece. She leaves it all up to me. I do tell her though, if she has an idea for something, run it by me and I will try to make it.

I think it looks perfect for traveling. I makes it so easy to access what you need in the bathroom. And it keeps everything contained

That's what I like about rooming by myself. I like my things contained, so I don't leave anything behind. I did room once with a lady and she had so much stuff, here, yonder and there. It nearly drove me batty!-lol
