Felt Organizer

This Felt Organizer is so versatile that you can use it to store pencils, markers, paintbrushes or use it as a sewing case. However you use it, it is an easy beginner sewing project.

You will need:
a 12 x 18 inch piece of felt
30 inches of ribbon or bias tape

Fold bottom end of the felt up 4 inches. Pin in place. Stitch along each side.

With a measuring tape place a pin every 2 inches.



Make pockets by stitching down the center where each pin is. Don't forget to backstitch at the beginning and end. Fold your ribbon in half and pin the center to one side. Stitch the ribbon in place.



You can keep your sewing supplies in the pockets or store pencils and markers for a pencil case. Here are some examples...







Fold up and tie in front. You can also decorate the front by gluing pieces cut out of felt, ribbon or add beads to your ribbon.
