No I don't text/talk and drive (my Camry does have bluetooth) but I'm one of those women who have to have my phone in hand while walking to or from somewhere... just in case, in case of what I still don't know :) but I CAN NOT put my phone in my purse...

Too bad Step 1. is, like, fifty steps.

When it says to fold the strap wrong sides together at the very end of the step is the picture below supposed to be the final product of that step or is it supposed to be folded in half again? I guess I am just confused how it ends up looking like the final strap.

I suck at sewing, but this went fairly well (except the box stitch of course)and I use it to hold my daughters toys in the car. I have an unsuccessful etsy shop, and was wondering what your policy was on selling the finished product. I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere about this sort of thing. Thanks!

I used plastic canvas to make a frame approximately 4.5 x 9 x 2.5 inches, sewed it together and made an exterior cover of blue denim and lined it with a blue/white print. I put a strip of wide velcro on the bottom before I sewed it together so that it grips the carpet in front of the console in front of the cupholder. It holds 2 boxes, one for tissue and the other empty tissue box for trash. That way you can dispose of the box of trash and replace it with the empty tissue box and fill in with a full box of tissue!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-20815417711555234792013-05-17T21:49:21.297-07:002013-05-17T21:49:21.297-07:00Just came across your post on FavCrafts and was in...Just came across your post on FavCrafts and was interested when you said you have a Prius. I just made a dual tissue holder for my sister's Prius. We have allergies and there is no place for tissue, let alone trash in the car. I used needlepoint plastic canvas and made a plastic frame that measured about 4.5 in by 9 in by about 2 in. I sewed it together and then made a denim cover onto which I sewed some wide Velcro on the bottom so that it grabs the carpet and sits in front of the console. I lined it with a cute blue/white small print. It holds two 4.5 inch square boxes, one for tissue and one for trash. My sister and I go on Shop Hops and I noticed her frustration on our last trip and since her birthday was coming up, I made it for her as a surprise. She really likes it and it's very functional.<br />RosemaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-10073327182237535372013-05-17T11:22:35.504-07:002013-05-17T11:22:35.504-07:00I too am a faithful follower from afar (Greece) an...I too am a faithful follower from afar (Greece) and this is one of the truly inspired AND useful ideas !! To be entirely honest, I usually have an ordinary, plastic grocery bag stuffed under the passenger seat next to mine, which I get rid of when full, at the nearest recycling bin (bag AND contents). However, I too prefer something more elegant and less of an "under-the-carpet" solution, so, given that I dabble in sewing occasionally, this is my absolutely next project !! What I do have hanging from the driver's seat headrest is a satchel-shaped kiddy pouch in which I keep all my road maps. I'm thinking of perhaps making a pair of matching bags - one for the maps and the other for other stuff (the central opening for trash and external pockets for more useful items). Thanks a lot !!!

I may alter it and add some small pockets on either the back or on the main pocket itself (and maybe even label them) so if anyone sees it they will have the impression I am organized and it will look so cool they won't see all the other stuff I tossed into the may cubby holes.<br />I spend a large amount of time in my car whether it be the long drive to my day job or to the many appointments I go to for my Independent Beauty Consultant business and this could very well keep the garbage off the floor and passenger seat. If I make the smaller pockets I will have one to specifically hide my cigarettes because in that area I am not politically correct.<br />I will also like to try different sizes to somehow adhere to the back hatch/trunk to put all my car cleaning supplies as well as the random stuff that ends up rolling around back there that I only think about when driving.<br />Great easy instructions and love the way you emphasize on the fact that perfection isn't the highest priority.<br />A suggestion from someone who has very little experience in sewing....make the front 4 to 5 inches longer, don't sew the bottoms of the front and back together but adhere a hook and loop on the bottom of the front and on the back so when emptying it you just have to open the bottom flap over the trash can and it falls out the bottom. With having a sunroof in my car things tent to fly around so a couple of medium metal washers sewn into the bottom corners may keep it from flying up and emptying it's contents out the sunroof and onto the car behind me which usually end up with the person behind me giving me the "you're #1" signal on the second finger of one or both hands. Personally, I wouldn't like it but they don't seem to mind but I hate littering.<br />Thanks again and can't wait to read your other blogs (love you honest humor). You have inspired me to start my own blog after I make this Not Ugly Car Trash Bag. Seems easy enough and tomorrow's house cleaning will be put off until....I break down and hire someone.

I didn't even remember them so I had to look back and came to the conclusion that one prude overly sensitive "person" who doesn't have the nerve to say who they are is the only ASS I saw. Go read catholic digest and let us real people enjoy the wonderful posts that teach us fun, practical things to make in a language we newbies can understand. Pretty sure the words "Poo" and (OMG) "Cigarettes" sent you right into a coronary because you forgot to mention "horseshit". Anynomous, we will know you by your Ugly Trash Bag hanging on the back of your seat, your Kleenex Box, stuffed animal and bobble head chihuahua in the ass window of your 1982 Buick.

That would make it stay somewhat open and easier to get stuff into it while buckled into the front seat. I like the idea of using a plastic bag to line it, too.
