Skill Level:

Novice

Basic Skills Necessary:

use a ruler
use an x-acto/utility knife safely

Pattern Description:

The Problem: you've got this groovy collection of 7" records,but your pockets are too small to carry them around and when you're at home they slide off your shelves and end up all over the floor.

The Solution: this most awesome record tote!...and you can make it yourself recycling old vinyl record jackets!

Use it to store your records, goodies, or just tote it around as a handbag because it's too cool to keep at home! Make several for your other organizational needs. It's also great for a birthday, Christmas, or just because gift as well.
