About
great for college!
I bought my silverware at goodwill =) And... I made two silverware carriers out of the material leftover from my cutoff shorts (see my other projects)!

Step 1Cut out a square about 11" x 11". That's about all the fabric I had, but if you want to make it 12" that's better to ensure that the silverware fits into the pouch.
-
Step 2Save the leftover fabric for the pockets!
-
Step 3Get out your ironing board, this is the least fun step, but it makes things so much easier.
-
Step 4Iron each side in about 1/2 inch.
-
Step 5
Cut off the corners. Repeat on the other square.
-
Step 6Pin the two together, right side out.
-
Step 7Starting at the top side, sew around all the edges. Before you get to the last side, pin a ribbon between the two sides. I made mine about 3" in length. You need this to roll the whole thing up and tie it together, so make sure you get it in the middle.
-
Step 8Now roll up the fabric how it will be with silverware in it (loosely). Mark where the ribbon meets the other side of the fabric (about 1/2 inch apart) with a pin.
-
Step 9Cut out your pockets out of the left over fabric. Make it about 2.5 inches wide and whatever length you want.
-
Step 10Pin the pockets on where you want them.
-
Step 11Make sure that your silverware doesn't stick out. Test it before you sew! I had this problem the first time I made mine. Especially test chopsticks because they're longer. Sew the pockets on, put the silverware in, and.... you've got a silverware carrier that didn't cost $20 like on www.reusablebags.com!
