Cord Chaos

Cord chaos.  Can anyone relate? 

 

Cords for phone chargers, ear buds, e-readers, cameras, iPods, Kindles, tablets….tangled and mangled. 

But thanks to a great tutorial  found on the  Leafy Treetop Spot blog,  I cut some 5-inch scrap squares and charm squares into 2.5 inch x 5 inch strips, added lightweight fusible interfacing to one side – stitched, turned, topstitched, added some little Velcro hook and loop squares – and Voila!  I have cute little reversible cord keepers.

 

 

My cords are now neatly contained.  You could even color code cords:  Red is for reader, indigo is for iPod, purple is for phone, key lime or kelly green for Kindle, etc.    

I loved this cute and colorful little camera print.  It’s from the Snapshots fabric line by Riley Blake.  So, of course, that became my camera cord keeper.

 

And since I have an (over)ABUNDANCE of scraps – I made just a few extras!  Won’t they make great stocking stuffers?  Or maybe I’ll use them as little thank you add-ins for some holiday orders. 

 

Only 12 days until my first Fall craft fair (YIKES!!), so I need to put the pedal to the metal and keep on sewing! TTFN
