It's camping season! Which means we get to be outdoors and enjoy nature. It is so fun and relaxing to be together with no cell service.
I will say one downside of camping is trying to find a place for all our stuff. Or keeping track of things like keys, books, headphones, sunglasses, the flashlight. There never seems to be a good place for those items.
This post contains affiliate links to products I recommend. I do make a portion off any you may purchase. See full disclosure here.
It also folds up with the chair easily, so you can more without things falling out or the caddy falling off your armrest.
This pattern will help you regain some of that relaxation time instead of spending time looking for those boat or car keys.

How to Make a Chair Bag
Materials Needed
- (2) 13" x 22" Cotton Fabric - Main Front and Back
- + (1) Fusible Interfacing
- (1) 13" x 21" Cotton Fabric - Large Pocket
- + (1) Fusible Interfacing
- (1) 13" x 16" Cotton Fabric - Small Pocket
- + (1) Fusible Interfacing
- 5" of .5" Hook and Loop Tape (Velcro)
Cut out all your pieces and press the fusible interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric pieces.
Fold the two pocket pieces in half, matching the smaller sides. Press. Topstitch along the folded edge of each pocket.
Place the larger pocket onto the right side of the main fabric piece. Match the bottom raw edges. Draw a line down the middle of the pocket. Pin layers together.
Stitch down this line through all the layers.
Place the smaller pocket over the main piece and large pocket. Match the bottom raw edges and pin.
Stitch across the bottom raw edges of all the layers to keep them in place.
With Right Sides Together, place the remaining main fabric piece (back) over the main piece with pockets. Pin in place. Mark a 2-3" opening at the top of the caddy.
Stitch around the entire caddy but leave open the marked opening. Press. Trim corner.
Turn caddy right side out and press. Topstitch around the entire caddy to close off the opening and keep the caddy layers together.
Trim the 5" of hook and loop tape into 2.5" pieces. Separate the hook side from the loop side.
Measure down 9" from the top and draw a line on each side. Place the loop side where you drew lines. Place the hook side in the top two corners. Pin in place.
Stitch a box stitch and X around each piece of hook and loop tape.
Turn the edge of the caddy down so the hook and loop pieces match each other.
