Crafting Up Bedtime Organization

When it comes to my nightstand I can never find enough room for all the items I feel like I need to take to bed. One can find a lamp, two books (one fiction and one non-ficition), a clock, temperature readout (to always know what kind of weather I need to dress for here in Texas), cellphone charger with cellphone, fan remote, pens, notebook, water glass and an endless supply of hair clips. Those are a lot of items for a medium sized nightstand... which brings me to the bed caddy.

Not much more can fit - a bed caddy is needed

All of the craft/sewing/fabric books and blogs I surround myself with it was only a matter of time before I came across a pattern for a bed caddy. Like most of my projects I start by trying a fun version to send off to my favorite Floridians for a wear and tear test. I love making things for them and they use the items so I can find out what I can improve upon. Bed Caddy Patterns can be found in the following books: In Stitches by Amy Butler and Sewn Spaces by Joel Dewberry. A Free Online Bed Caddy Pattern can be found at Sew4Home. I converted the pattern at Sew4Home to fit my own needs. Here are the Bed Caddies made with Boogie Monsters fabric by Scott Jarrard for FreeSpirit Quilting Fabric.
