Okay…here’s the back story. When I am working in my studio, making jewelry for ITS Handmade, I often sit on my stool and use my bench pin to file, sand, and polish metals. Therefore, all types of copper and steel wool are constantly falling into my lap, on the floor, and on the stool. It can be a real pain to keep clean. So, I needed a solution. This is what I came up with. Oh, hey…I even made you a video and if you sign up for my mailing list, you can download a free printable e-book! The e-book has a few more photos and more detailed explanation.

What you’ll need

Leather Skirt

Belt

Ruler

Marking Pencil

Fabric Scissors

Sewing machine (or needle and thread)

You can use any type of skirt really. For my needs, leather was the best choice. However, I think a cotton twill and/or denim would probably work really well….As far as the belt goes, really anything cloth will do as long as it is the proper size to fit your belt loops or waistband. If it’s a little to small, no problem, the stitching should secure it. If it’s a little to big, maybe fold it to fit.
