| I left work early to go to a class to make this cute iron tote bag. Closed up it holds an iron and opened up, it makes an ironing surface (I'll add the pic in the next post). I didn't get to see the fabric choice until after I got to class, I just told them to pick something out in red. All the ladies (including myself) loved the red and wished they had chosen it, too.

| Here is the picture of it opened up. I'd like to find the teflon fabric to make more. It's finished measurement is about 26"x20". Robbi |

| that's just darling. That would sure make a good thing for class. And, you can put a warm iron inside as you leave. Thanks for the tip. |

| The teacher said she puts a silicon pad (iron rest) in hers so she can carry a hot iron. It was funny that some of the ladies called it a biscuit warmer. With a little different lining, it could be that! Robbi |

| That is so cute, and practical for someone who needs to tote an iron. Never was into crafty-quilt stuff until I started accumulating extra blocks for one reason or another and have found they can be used for so many practical things. I have two casserole totes I made last year and they've been put to good purpose for church and family pot lucks. Yes, the red looks old-fashioned and very cheerful! |

I like it! I would love to find the teflon fabric also, I want it for another project and just can not seem to find it anywhere.
This is just too cute, I could see where it would come in handy for a lot of people who travel, pageant moms, competition moms,,,ect..... :) :) Aqua |

| Perfect! Love it! I have a small iron in a bag and a little ironing pad but this is far, far cuter and more clever. Joann's carries thermal fabric that would work. Kate |

| Is there a printed pattern for this? |

| I found the heat resistant fabric at a few places on-line for about $7/yard. It is called therma-flec. We talked in class that Joanna's sells some but it is quilted. The pattern calls for 2 layers of batting, so you could probably use the stuff from Joann's and just one more layer of batting. You can find the pattern on-line. It is made by sisters' common thread and it comes with the heat fabric. You can google iron tote pattern and find it, too. Robbi |

| So cute and I love both the design and color of the red fabric. |

| Very cute. Will have to keep that in mind. |

| That is adorable and so handy. I've been wanting to make myself one but I don't really need it, I don't travel with my iron. Apparently, I just want to make clothes for it! LOL The pattern is by Sisters' Common Thread, and it comes in 2 sizes, one for regular sized irons and another for the little travel sized ones. Ooops, I see where someone else mentioned who makes the pattern. :) |

| I bought the silver "fabric" at Joann Fabrics in the Buffalo area. It is not quilted and was about $9 a yard but with a coupon only paid $4.50 yd. A member of my guild made one at a workshop of the other guild she belongs to and showed it to us at our retreat last year. I found a free pattern for it online. |
