Tip: Use a seam guide that attaches to the presser foot rather than the machine bed. You will have about 13-15 pockets for brushes depending on the spacing you choose. Be sure to use the non-stick foot since you will be sewing on top of the laminated fabric. Leave a larger pocket at the right side, about 3-1/2″ wide, to accommodate brushes of different sizes. Continue parallel lines, moving from left to right, spacing them 1″, 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″, and 1-3/4″ apart as desired. Starting at the left, 1-1/2″ from the left side and 1″ above the long paint brush holder guide, sew a straight line all the way to the lower edge of the inside pocket. Place the long paint brush holder guide right side up about 1-3/4″ to 2″ above the inside pocket, aligning the sides. Place the inside pocket on top, cotton side up (laminated side in), and align the raw edges at the bottom and sides. Place the main laminated piece right side up. to add your personality to the outside and to the inside pockets. Tip: Before assembling the paintbrush holder, use decorative fabrics, quilt squares, modern pieces, etc. Cut into one 23″ and one 25″ piece tie a knot at one end of each tie.)

Fold the strip in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. From the right side, use a non-stick foot to topstitch about 1/8″ from each folded edge.īinding and Ties: Sew the bias strips together on the diagonal to reduce bulk at the seams. Long Paint Brush Holder Guide: Fold the long edges of the 3-3/4″ x 20″ strip of laminated fabric 1/4″ to the wrong side. Press from the cotton side so the seam is toward the laminate fabric. Stitch along one long edge using a 1/4″-wide seam allowance. Inside Pocket: Place the two 4″ x 20″ rectangles (cotton and laminated cotton) right sides together, matching edges.

#Paintbrush storage plus
Cut enough 2-1/2″ wide bias strips to bind the edges plus about 50″ for the ties AMOUNT?.So? I might start again and I need to be prepared!) Substitute a cotton print for the laminate and this makes a terrific knitting needle organizer. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been looking for an excuse to buy some Tula Pink laminated prints. Robin has graciously provided instructions so we can all make our own paintbrush holders. (Check out Joanne’s work and you’ll know it’s the one with the bright flowers on it.) Then Robin showed them to me, and, well… here they are. She took them to a Painted Tapestry class at Create NJ, and the instructor – mixed media artist Joanne Sharpe – liked Robin’s blue roll-up so much she asked Robin to make one for her, too. Robin Buscemi needed a paintbrush holder – she has one SERIOUS set of brushes! – and whipped up this tidy waterproof roll-up to carry them.
