Mini Trash Can
Author: Notches Sewing
This Mini Car Trash Can from Notches Sewing is a beginner-friendly sewing pattern that lets you craft a compact, lined trash bin (approx. 6.5″ × 8″ × 4″) for your car, or even use it as a small storage bin beside your sewing machine. It includes a 14″ strap and an optional boning insert for extra shape and durability. The result is not only a practical tool for keeping your car clutter-free but also a sweet, handmade gift idea, perfect for anyone who loves a bit of DIY charm!
