How 2 Make Your Sew Kit

glue stuffingFirst you will cut a circle out of the fabric larger than you lid. Give yourself plenty of extra for covering the stuffing and the side of the lid.

Hot glue or Elmer's glue stuffing to the top of the lid, this will be the cushion for your pins. Keep the glue off the inside of the lid or it will not close easily for you.

Lay your lid with stuffing facing down onto of your fabric (print facing down) and give the side of the lid a bead of glue. Press the fabric onto the side of the lid, pressing to make sure it stays.

glue fabricCut any extra fabric hanging longer than the lid.

Add a bead of hot glue round the fabric and tie a cute little bow.

Now fill your jar with sewing must haves.

If you don't have any baby food jars, I use garlic, mayo, anything that comes in glass from the grocery store will work fine.
