No more hunting for the remote control in the sofa cushions or under the chair. Attached to his favorite chair, this practical gift will put Dad in a relaxed state of mind.

Supplies Needed:

• 1/4 yard of print fabric

• 1/4 yard of solid fabric

• 7" by 19" piece of low-loft batting

• 1 package of extra wide double-fold bias tape

Embroidery Designs from Embroidery Library:

• Shirt and Tie Father's Day card - small size

Instructions: 

From each fabric, cut a rectangle that is 7" wide by 19" long. From the solid fabric, cut two more rectangles that are 7" wide by 12" tall. 

On one of the 7" by 12" rectangles sew out the embroidery so that the bottom edge of the embroidery is 11/2" from the bottom edge of the fabric.

Layer the long rectangles so that the solid fabric is on the bottom with the right side down, then the batting, then the print with the right side up. 

Fold each of the smaller rectangles in half and place the folded fabric so that the fold is facing in. The folded fabric will form the pockets of the caddy.

Secure the pockets in place by basting along the very edges of the pockets and through the fabric layers. Sew a line of satin stitches up the center of  the unembroidered pocket to create 2 smaller pockets.

Encase all the raw fabric edges with the bias tape.

Catch both edges of the the tape with one pass of your sewing machine by placing the wider edge of the tape on the underside, and making sure that the center fold of the tape is on the outside edge as you go around the border of the caddy.

Place this caddy over the arm of Dad's favorite chair.  He'll love it!
