The bits and pieces |
My son, who is a musician, has many trumpets, including a natural trumpet which has many bits and pieces. I had previously used some of my musical fabric stash for his musical table runners. He asked me if I could create some sort of carry-all to keep these bits organized. I started with a piece of utility fabric, above, and laid out the pieces which needed some pouches.

I found some more musical fabric in my stash to use for the pouches. |

I marked the seams with pins before sewing them down. |

After the pouches were made, I added a flap to keep the metal parts from hitting each other. Here is the final product with the flap down |

|
I added some ties made of other trumpet fabric. Velcro can make too much noise if opened during a concert or rehearsal! |
|
All finished with the bits ready to be tucked in. |
|
All wrapped up and ready to go. I used yet another musical fabric for the binding. |
|
Finished with my little tag! |
|
Here is his natural trumpet, in its case, and the carry-all fits right inside. |
I am always happy to make something useful out of my stash!
Take care,
Gretchen
So impressive. I wouldn't even know where or how to start! I love the binding, so creative.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Looking at it now, I would probably cover the batting part of the utility fabric with something else, but it works, and he likes it! I have bookmarked your post on the stack and sew. I am going to give that a try soon!
