Introducing the Bree’s Box Toiletry Caddy by Andrie Designs! This classy, yet practical, toiletry caddy has been designed to be dual purpose. Initially, it is a generously sized toiletry bag to transport all your toiletry needs. Once at your accommodation, it can be used as a handy toiletry caddy to keep all your toiletries organised and easily accessible while away from home!
~ The Bree’s Box Toiletry Caddy pattern was first featured in the May 2018 issue of the Australian Magazine ‘Homespun’ (click here) ~
The Bree’s Box Toiletry Caddy features two outer handles, stitched together across the centre for easy griping and transportation. It has three mesh pockets around the outside of the caddy which are perfect for storing smaller items such as make up brushes, combs, your tooth brush, medicine strips etc. once you arrive at your destination and are setting up your caddy.
On the inside, there is a small zipper pocket on the inside of the lid which is perfect for storing small items such as hair ties, medicine, pocket mirror etc. By leaning the lid up against the mirror or wall next to the vanity, you will have access to this pocket at all times. There is also a larger zipper pocket in the main compartment which is perfect for storing creams, tubes of ointment and so forth.

This pattern comes with two files – the pattern instructions/pieced pattern pages, and a large print pattern pieces file suitable for printing at your local print shop on the correct sized paper. It has 11 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an advanced beginner/intermediate sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn.
Wary of zippers and piping? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions to make adding the zippers and piping an easy and stress-free experience.

Love this design! I’ve made two so far, and plan to make another very soon. Easy to follow directions and wonderful outcome.
Elizabeth Plunkett (verified owner) –
Thanks so much for the fast shipping and a great pattern! This will be my personal travel bag once I get it completed.
Janet Nicholls (verified owner) –
I love this pattern! The style is appealing, compact when closed, has pockets for all the small items and can sit open, holding all your toiletries standing up! Instructions are clearly laid out with diagrams. When I reached the last stage, I wondered how I was ever going to get the whole bag through that zipper pocket, and was surprised how easy it was! I am stoked with the results!

I haven’t made this yet but I am looking forward to it. I plan to make this as a gift for my daughter for Christmas. I’ve got to pick out some material that reflects her personality and fun spirit she brings to everything and everyone she meets!
