The caddy was designed by Sew4Home and finishes at approximately 8” wide x 9” high x 3” deep with a fully adjustable loop to secure the box over a center console gear shift. There are lots of hooks and pockets to hold your phone, pens, tissues and more. You will even find a secret hidden pocket at the back of the caddy, to hold money, credit cards and other valuables. The inside of the caddy is lined with water resistant nylon so you can use the generous center section to collect trash.
Because the caddy is made with small fabric cuts you can use some fabrics from your stash or grab some clearance fabric at your favorite fabric shop.
To make the ultimate car caddy, you will need the following supplies:
- ½ yard of 44″+ wide quilting weight cotton for the main exterior panels, the facing, and the hidden money pocket

- ⅝ yard of 20”+ one-sided fusible foam
- ¼ yard of 20”+ wide lightweight fusible interfacing
