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.
