Fabric Toilet Paper Holder

I have a toilet paper problem in my house... Whenever I hang it on the holder, my cat decides that it is a toy and this is how it ends up.
A few years ago, I saw a fabric toilet paper holder at a craft sale. It actually was made to store three extra rolls and was to be used in homes with minimal bathroom storage. I thought it was a neat idea, but didn't think much about it. A couple weeks ago, I saw the same thing and I knew that something similar would be the solution to my shredding problem. I came up with this.
Needed materials:
Step 2: Attach interfacing (optional).
Step 3: Sew the two pieces together.
Sew both long sides and one short side shut, but leave about a 3 - 4" opening on one of the short sides.
Step 4: Cut the corners
Step 5: Turn right-side out and sew shut.
Step 6: Make your loops.
Step 7: Sew the loops to the holder. I placed my loops about 1/4" in from the sides and about an 1" down from the top. I sewed it about 1/2" from the top.
Step 8: Sew the two ends together to form the holder. I made three lines across to ensure that it held.
Step 9: Hang the holder!
Here is the holder made with ties. You can see more details about making the ties on my blog.
I am not using mine to store extra rolls. But if you are, just tie the holder lower. You will have the current roll on top and the spare roll in the holder.
I do not sew very often or very well, so making this was quite a bit of trial and error. If you decide to make this, please read my entire post before you begin. I tried a few different things and changed it up as I went, so you may want to make changes of your own.

Thanks for this idea! I was trying to figure out a good place to store extra TP in my small basement bathroom, and this is perfect. The previous owners put a towel bar over the toilet (low enough that if you have large hand-towels or don't hang them just right they drag on the toilet tank -- eeew!). I am going to try making this double-wide to store two rolls on the towel bar.
