I'm going to make one of these for my husband's insulin needles. He often forgets whether he took his injection or not, so he can fill this with empties and can keep count of how many he should have on a given day. Thanks for the idea!
Sure looks better then the old coffee can I been using for the last 100 yrs. Your making grandma tidy up her craft room. Funny I never make stuff for myself always for others. I guess its time to think of me and also use up some of my stash. Thanks for the tutorial.
Man Sewing I made one of those for a Pellon pattern! You should check it out it should be under my name on their site or even if you google my name. I made it customized for different brushes and tools :)
+Man Sewing i crochet and knit, and i find it is good for crochet hooks, notions, dpns, and other little things. I could see this being good for my day job- as a music repair man... I could make one for my guitar and ukulele repair stuff when i have to go on the road. i may even make it like a book and put a pocket on the outside for a packet of guitar strings so they dont get kinked when i throw it in my repair case
Love this.. I have been keeping my crochet hooks in a cheap $1.00 plastic pencil case, but I am now learning Tunisian Crochet and well those are huge LOL so i need a case big enough to hold them.. plus i have learned that you need your hooks in a case because over time of the hooks banging in that plastic box they will get nicks and the nicks will catch on your yarn.. so I need to fix that.. I love your tutorials !!! thanks
Excellent tutorial! Your speaking is clear and concise, and your directions are very easy to follow. I also appreciate your speeding up the video when sewing, so we don't have to watch every single stitch being made. LOL Thank you!
Hi Vanessa, Love your videos. Thank you for sharing this idea with us. Your a Fantastic teacher. I plan to make a lot of these for different things, Can't wait for your next video. Thank you again
Great idea Vanessa! Great instructions. I have made one for my needles, crocheting it. Never quite liked it. Now I will make one like this, so much better. Thanks so much for sharing.
omg, i made a few of these crochet hook rolls yrs and yrs and yrs ago. we use upholstery material and it was very basic compared to yours. very nice yours.
Hi Vanessa. If I were to try to make this with the cork fabric I have purchased from you, would I still need the reinforcing white fabric you put between the front and back pieces, please? TIA
Would you do a video on creating coin purses using different frames? Maybe some with gussets and squared off bottoms. I have several different sew on frame tops for coin purses, but I'm not sure how to create the fabric purse and how to figure the size.
Oh awesome. I have been wanting to make a nice "roll" for my crochet hooks instead of putting them in the jar that they are in. Also would be great for my kids toothbrushes and toothpaste for overnight and grandmas.
Great versatile project! I would use cheap muslin for the pocket lining, rather than wasting the gorgeous designer fabric strips. Otherwise, lovely and easy to make!
Hi Vanessa. If you weeks ago I saw a Robert thing you had made that could be taken to a retreat/class, and in the center you had a large square ruler and rotary cutting mat. I can't find it now, of course. Do you sell a pattern for that? Thanks for your help.
Do you think that I could make one of these for my son's favorite matchbox cars? If I did two pockets where the openings are in the middle of the roll, do you think they would stay in or pop out? Also, that thermolam plus, is it different from fusible batting or the bosal foam? I get confused... Thanks for your help, Vanessa! #geminisrock
Pam O'Brien Just a hint for videos that are too fast (or too slow!) if you click on the little gear down in the bottom right corner, it says "Settings", and in that little menu that pops up there's a speed option and you can slow it down or speed it up as you see fit :)
Dee L That doesn't help one bit because slower then Normal is at .50 which is no help. This is the only Tut and I watch alot and I can usually understand at a normal speed. She just talks way to fast so if I can't ask for her to TALK a little slower. I will just leave and I have been following her for awhile. Jeni doesn't talk that fast and Even Rob who talkjs fast and excited like I understand. If she can't talk slower Oh Well!

I think this would make a great gift for someone learning to crochet, this bag, hooks and some yarn. Thanks Vanessa

Cheri Costa All of that sounds like me, except for the 100 years part lol ;)
My wife wants one for her makeup brushes! Great idea, Vanessa Vargas Wilson
Man Sewing Yes!...wonderful Idea!
You took the thought right out of my head. I agree makeup brush holder.

Vanessa you always teach and explain how and what you are doing simply and precisely.
Thank you, for always being you. Your beauty shines for all to see, from the inside out..... Keep up the good work!... Your ideas are golden!...

LOVE that you included a link to supplies! Saves us that want to make them a LOT of time. THANKS!
I can't wait to make one for my quilting stuff. I love this idea. Maybe I'll make one for my husband for his crochet needles.
Congratulations on your new channel and partnership with Missouri Star Quilt Company! And thanks for the good tutorial!
Love your tutorials...

I have seen you before on Knit and Crochet Now, right? I recognize your ring tattoo! You are such a great teacher!
what a beautiful craft for a gift. Thanks for sharing your talent.
What a great quick project!!..I will be making some of these for Christmas...Thank You!
Side note... the little basket with the clips looks adorable.. and just like a strawberry!! ;)
Nice! Such a fast project using the precuts!
So cute and easy, I just made one! Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea. I am going to customize this to use for my makeup brushes.
Great idea Vanessa! Great instructions. I have made one for my needles, crocheting it. Never quite liked it. Now I will make one like this, so much better. Thanks so much for sharing.
I like using hair elastics for closures like this. So easy to coordinate with the fabric because they come in lots of colors. Dollar Tree!
I so like this and really easy the way you show it. Thank you for these
Nice! Just made one, I'm going to make these to give as gifts to all my friends who crochet, (including myself). Love your video's, I'm a fan!
Thank you...this is good! Nice to make to have on hand to give as gifts for any occasion.
Love your ideas here. I've made some similar but love the mini tumblers! Great job Vanessa!
Great tutorial! I am making one for my makeup brushes! So many possibilities!
cant wait to get started love your videos vanessa
Great idea! Love the studio!
I need to sew one of these ASAP. 😎
great video, I plan to use a bright colored ponytail holder instead of the elastic for a colored pencil holder.
omg, i made a few of these crochet hook rolls yrs and yrs and yrs ago. we use upholstery material and it was very basic compared to yours. very nice yours.
Made these for stocking stuffers (crayon rolls)....big hit!
Good job i learned alot of things of your videos thanks
My mom just loves your account😉
GREAT tutorial!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Very cute.
Super Cute!!!
If used laminated fabric inside this would be great for makeup brushes or artist brushes. Laminated fabric would prevent staining.
Super cute. I love this idea and I need to make about 3 for all my stuff. I would like to ask you what iron system you use. Thanks Vanessa.

Do you think it would come out good if I use fleece interfacing? Or do you really recommend the thermalam plus?

Ann Witten I think that if you made it longer so that you have a flap to fold over the cars first before rolling it that would hold them in better.
could you do this as a quilt as you go project?
i would feel more comfortable with a fold down flap then roll up and loop. thank you
Vanessa. Please please show how to crochet spiral tube for bag handles. Tried so many times. FAILED. PLEASE HELP
Wonderful. I love your videos. Only one thing I ask is that maybe you could speak just a little bit slower. Can't wait for the next one Vanessa
Can you talk a ittle bit slower. Hard to keep up. Would help some of us. Thanks, Cute Great project.
