Sew a Flat Cutlery Wrap

WHAT TO GATHER

Your starting kit.

Suitable washable woven fabric
Needle
Thread
Ruler
Ordinary cutlery for sizing

STEP 01

Prepare the starting piece

Lay ordinary blunt-ended cutlery on a paper template and allow room for a pocket and top flap. Exclude sharp knives from this simple project.

STEP 02

Set out the shape

Cut the fabric rectangle and hem its outer edges. Check that the material is suitable for laundering and ordinary contact around clean utensils.

STEP 03

Work the first section

Fold the lower section upward to form a pocket and sew its two side seams. Keep the pocket deep enough to cover most of each handle.

STEP 04

Build and adjust

Mark simple vertical channels and stitch them through the pocket and backing only. Leave enough width to remove the utensils without forcing the seams.

STEP 05

Finish and check

Insert clean dry utensils, fold the upper flap down, and roll loosely. Remove the contents before laundering and do not store dirty utensils long-term inside.
