Andrie Designs – Bree’s Box Toiletry Caddy Paper Pattern
This classy, yet practical, toiletry caddy has been designed to be dual purpose. Initially, it is a generously sized toiletry bag to transport all your toiletry needs. Once at your accommodation, it can be used as a handy toiletry caddy to keep all your toiletries organized and easily accessible while away from home!
The Bree’s Box Toiletry Caddy features two outer handles, stitched together across the centre for easy griping and transportation. It has three mesh pockets around the outside of the caddy which are perfect for storing smaller items such as make up brushes, combs, your toothbrush, medicine strips etc. once you arrive at your destination and are setting up your caddy.
On the inside, there is a small zipper pocket on the inside of the lid which is perfect for storing small items such as hair ties, medicine, pocket mirror etc. By leaning the lid up against the mirror or wall next to the vanity, you will have access to this pocket at all times. There is also a larger zipper pocket in the main compartment, which is perfect for storing creams, tubes of ointment and so forth.
This pattern comes with two files – the pattern instructions/pieced pattern pages, and a large print pattern pieces file suitable for printing at your local print shop on the correct sized paper. It has 11 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an advanced beginner/intermediate sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn.
Wary of zippers and piping? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions to make adding the zippers and piping an easy and stress-free experience.

Blue Calla The Tumbleweed Toiletry Tote – Paper Pattern
The Tumbleweed toiletry tote is a larger-sized bag, with two separate compartments and two top carry handles, making it perfect for organizing and carrying your toiletries and cosmetics while travelling.
The top zipper compartment has a softer body with a metal frame that allows it to open nice and wide, providing a clear view of the contents. Either a single or double pull zipper can be used for the closure, depending on personal preference.
Under the top compartment is a large train case with a zippered mesh compartment in the lid. The train case is more structured with foam interfacing so that it does not collapse under the weight of the top zipper compartment. A double pull zipper is highly recommended to make the train case easier to open and close.
