All folded up, this looks like a purse or evening bag, but for people who hand-sew, it's so much more useful!
Using a pretty floral fabric, I quilted the main pieces together before making the rest of this sofa station.
As you can see, it has pockets for patterns, a pleated piece of felt for needles, as well as spots for scissors and threads.
In the above picture, you can see two red circles, they contain magnets in them so that you can easily remove the pincushion and threads bin.
When the sofa station is placed on the arm of your lounge chair, it will hang down either side and you can easily access the pockets. Hopefully no more pins stuck in the arm rests or lost scissors down the side of the chair!
I made the sofa station for my gorgeous friend, Maryanne for her very special birthday. And... as you can see from her cake, she is also a quilter!
Pattern used: Smart Sofa Station by Arabesque Scissors.
*Note to self - make the binding wider than what the pattern says because there is quite a bit of bulk around the corners and it is hard to pull the binding over the cover the stitching line.
