Car Trash Bin in Earth Tones

I made another Car Trash Bin (from More Me Know) to give to a friend. I didn't have waterproof canvas for the lining in any color that would go with the exterior fabric, so I painted the interior fabric using HeatnBond's Liquid Vinyl from Therm-O-Web. It now is easy to wipe off any dirt or drips with a damp cloth. I haven't given this to my friend yet, but she has seen the photos.

The bag has the same flagstone color in this fabric print.

I over cut the fabric slightly larger than needed and then I fused interfacing to the back of the fabric first and then painted on the Liquid Vinyl, let it dry and painted on one more coat of Liquid Vinyl. Then after I pressed it according to the instructions, I cut it to the size I needed.

I hope to drop this off to my friend later this month.

3 Car Trash Bins

I made 3 car trash can/bins. I made one for our car, one for a friend and one for my daughter. These are fast and easy to make and very large too!

I used cotton fabric for the exterior and fused woven interfacing to the exterior pieces. I used a waterproof canvas for the lining, so they are easy to clean. Instead of using Velcro I added a plastic Kam snap. These snap around the head rest of the car, or through the head rest opening. Our head rest is wide, so I snapped it through the opening in the head rest, but I was able to snap it around the base of the head rest in my daughter's car. The pdf and video is by More Me Know and it's free.

I had just enough of this fabric left to make this one. Since hubby commented he liked this fabric, I decided to use it to make this one for our car. 

Gray waterproof canvas for the lining.

I made this one for my friend, Tara, who has been working so much and in her car a lot. It's such a nice big size that she decided to use it to put her books on tape into this, since she listens to them while driving all over the state.

Tara asked for Jewel Tones and this fabric had those colors, so I chose the fuchsia waterproof canvas lining to pick up the pick of fuchsia color in the print.

I made this one for my daughter. She wanted a burnt orange, but didn't like any of the orange fabrics I had. So I showed her some yellow and she liked this one. 

I love how this one turned out!

A bright yellow waterproof canvas for the lining makes the fabric print pop more. I could have used gray lining, but it would have toned down the print more. 

These made some great & useful gifts.
