Before I blogged about how great these little inventions are, I wanted to make sure the boys actually liked what I made them for Valentine's Day. Well, they do, hooray for me! I can't ever seem to come up with things to make boys. I'm learning to love to sew, but seem to only find projects for them few and far between. If you have boys and have any suggestions let me know! And if you have boys and like to sew, these car caddy's are so much fun. They roll right up and fit in my purse. I actually intended for them to stay in my church bag, but they have fished them out every day. Oh well! I found the idea at homemadebyjill.blogspot and fell in love. I changed things up a bit from the tutorial she gave but they were still so simple. Just some fun (boy) fabric, duck cloth, a little batting, felt, rick rack and embroidery thread and off I went. I hand did the numbers on the pocket and the little dashes on the street but the rest just took a lot of pinning and a little bit of sewing.
Wyatt's is the pirate grey and yellow one and Dax's is the race car navy and brown one. I bought Wyatt the cutest little VW bug hot wheels and Dax some super cool Insectible race cars. I actually got it right this time for who's is who and they never fight over playing with the others! Oh happy day! They are fun, you should try them!

Fabulous!!! I love love love it. We were thinking right along the same lines with our boys this Valentine's Day. My boys love their's as well. Fun!
Are you kidding me?? This is all I can say. If you ever doubted that you were not a good mommy or that you have no talent....seriously....are you kidding me....I'm gagging....but only in a good way...like I gag at how easy Martha Stewart or Betty Crocker...makes things look. Your incredible! If you get any cuter I might be mad :)
Bryn I love how they turned out. Thanks so much for showing pictures! The embrodiery is perfect! It looks so good! I can't wait to make one some day!
They turned out great! If you're ever in the mood to make two more, my kids would love them! I'm glad the boys are enjoying them.
Very cool!!!!!! What a spectacular gift and made with lots of love. :)
Way to Go BRYN!!! Those are awesome! If you owed me a favor I would ask for a girl one but to fill with mini dolls...in purple of course!!
Hi, I'm Sarah (Hardy) Herdan from Moreno Valley. I was in Austin's stake. I was just one Jennifer Gallacher's blog and snooped over to yours. I've been wanting to try that little car caddy. I'm gonna try. Have you seen the I SPY bean bags? they are really easy to make and the kids love them and they are quiet? Good luck
What a cute boy gift! You did a great job. If I have a boy this will be a must. :)
I love sewing projects. It is so cute! I might have to make some for my boys.
