To Keep it Close and Handy!

I have wanted one of these tabletop organizers for years-maybe a decade at least!
I was tired of the clutter on my sewing table and set to it!
I kind of winged it as I went and it went well!
 Everything is right at hand and when I want the table cleared for a bigger project, I can remove everything with just a single motion!
 Once the sewing table was cleared, 
I decided to tackle another idea that has hung around for months
 and would be very handy right now! 
 This is a project bag that is large enough to hold my
 Knitter's Pride pattern keeper/holder. 
 I am using it now for the Silver Leaves Shawl.
  It is roomy enough for the knitting and the folder-perfect!
 I wanted to avoid a zipper like I used on the small sock project bags, 
so this one just folds down.  
I used a hair rubber band for the closure and a large button my daughter found for me a few years ago. 
 I'm glad I saved it-it is just right!
I remembered to add my label but I think I am going to move it to the front layer of the fold over-
I thought it was on the right spot until I folded it-
part of the design curve! lol
It's an easy fix, at least!
I love the look of this;
it makes me happy when I see it even when I am not knitting out of it!
