My husband bought two large sets of combination wrenches — one standard and one metric. But he had no way to store them that would keep them accessible and orderly. We looked around on the internet for tool roll-ups. They weren’t expensive — about $10 to $15 each. He would have needed 4 or 5 of them. But the largest and the smallest of his wrenches would never have fit in those commercial roll-ups.
I told him I could probably make him some tool roll-ups that would fit all his tools and save us some money. I don’t think he believed me at first, but now he does! (Reading this through, my husband just told me that he tells me things like this to challenge me.) I practiced some different methods on thrift store canvas before I bought the heavy duty duck cloth that I used in the end. Each roll-up, including fabric and notions, ended up costing me about $7. So not only did we save money, but we custom fit all his tools.

You are one awesome woman!
I bet your husband is just thrilled!
Thank you about the bag. I am thrilled as well.

A lady around the corner from me has this same thing, except she keeps her knitting needles in it, and it’s quilted. I think it’s a great idea! (Both our tools and my knitting needles are just in drawers waiting for me to do some beautiful organizing project for them.)
How totally cool!
Well done, Wardeh! What husband wouldn’t be proud to have a nice tool wrap like this one?
These are so nice, Wardeh. I am very impressed — and I miss you and your lovely ways. God is good, and we thank Him for you, Jeff, and our precious HNM!!!
Have a great day.
Thank you, all!
You’re really sweet.
What a lovely idea, Wardeh. I would love to make something similar for my hubby. Any chance of a tutorial? Or is that really cheeky?
Thank you, Lucy. If you click the link in the post above, it will take you to T2CHK and to my detailed instructions, very much a tutorial with pictures. If you need any help, just let me know! I especially am interested to know if I made any errors in the instructions.
Love, Wardeh
Wardeh,
Otherwise, let me know when you add these to your shop!
This is a very cool design. I have searched for a product like this and yours is the best by far. We’ll see if I’m brave enough to try it
Thanks, Kate
Kate, hello! I can’t add a tool roll-up to my shop because it is custom made to fit a certain group of tools. I would be happy to make one for you. Just email me to discuss it. wardeh@suchtreasures.com. If you do give it a try, let me know if I can help! Love, Wardeh
Hey Wardeh!
I’ve been catching up at your blog today. What wonderful projects you’ve been into and tasty sounding recipes!
Wonderful job, Wardeh. I know your husband is pleased with it.
Reminds me of a crochet hook holder.
