Cutlery Roll


I saw this idea in a library book ages ago but I can't remember which one.  Anyway, it's basically a tool roll but for knives, forks and spoons.  It's made from a Tea Towel and it's so quick and easy as there's no cutting or finishing off raw edges.
All that you need to do is to lay the cloth out flat, then fold up the bottom along the long edge so that it will just cover the handles of the cutlery.  Next, lay out the cutlery along the cloth and pin the fabric into evenly spaced pockets accordingly.  Stitch these pockets through both thicknesses of fabric, then when you put the cutlery back in to the pockets the top section will fold over to cover them so that the whole thing can be rolled up and fastened with a ribbon or string.

It's great because the dirty cutlery can be put back in after the picnic and when you return home the cloth can just be thrown into the washing machine (remove cutlery first of course!). 
Perfect for days out in the sun!
