Shell Stitch Fridge Pocket

This fridge pocket is just the right size for a 3in x 5in pad of paper or index cards. It is made in 3 pieces. The short front side is stitched to one of the back pieces, then the final back piece is added last leaving the top open to insert the plastic stabilizer. Then the top is stitched together to close it. I know the pocket looks small and it was meant to hold a 3"x5" pad of paper but if you want to make it bigger, you can use size 8 thread and a size 5 steel crochet hook to make it bigger.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon.

Random Quick Tip!

Meat Tray Pallettes
Foam meat trays can be used a palettes for paint or glue. When done with your project, just throw away or if you have extra paint on it, cover with plastic wrap so that you will not waste any of it. Then when all of the paint is used up, then you can toss it.
