Tapestry Mirrix Loom Accessory Bag

The title sounds like we have a new product but we don’t.  We have a new suggestion for a product you should make on your Mirrix Loom for you.  Just for you.  The big season of gift giving is over and now all you makers of wonderful things can think about making something just for you.

First  I have to tell you that once again it was a customer who inspired me to think up this idea.  He suggested we drill a hole in the wooden clip to hold the tiny wrench because it’s one of those things that loves to get lost.  And it was a great idea except if you watch the making of a clip video you will see that doing so will involve a whole other step to what are a lot of steps already.  And hence it would add cost to the clips . . . well, you know the drill.  And then I thought:  it’s not just the wrench that goes missing.  Springs (especially if you own more than one Mirrix) go missing as well.  You get this pile of springs and have no idea which loom they belong to.  The big wrench falls on the floor and you can’t find it just when you need it most.  Tapestry needles go for a long walk.  So my idea is to weave a tapestry pouch that will velcro to the back of the loom and hold all the items for that loom.

The velcro idea was lifted from my DH.  He has velcro tabs stuck all over the cabin of his boat and the coordinating side stuck to very useful items like:  cellphone, flashlight, screw driver, etc.  The idea is that if you shove these things into one of the zillions of drawers/cabinets found on a boat you will never find them when you most need them (either just because you need them or because if you don’t find that screw driver to unstick something on the engine it might just blow up).  It works.

Velcro could be stuck vertically (you get the one with a sticky side, not the one you sew on . . . .and trust me this stuff sticks because it’s stayed on that boat!) to the left of brass nut on the top beam and on the back.  You can make a little extra tab on your tapestry to be the same size as the velcro so it isn’t unsightly.

Challenge:  will you join me in making a Mirrix Tapestry Accessory Pouch?  How many do you need to make? Which translates into:  how many Mirrix Looms do you own?
