Sew It - Wall Organizer


Yeay, I finished my Wall Organizer for this week's Sew It!



I've missed a few weeks of Sew It mainly because I usually sew along with a project that I voted and really wanna make for myself. Was so happy this week the wall organizer project won coz I've wanted to make one for so long. It is made from this instructions.

The construction was easy however I found the material is just too thin. Once hanged and stuffed, the pockets sort of pull the backing forward making it a bit floppy.

I assumed when the instruction says Canvas for the backing and pockets, it means cotton canvas. So I chose heavy canvas cotton from Ikea for both the backing and the pockets plus medium weight, quilting cotton in zebra print for the background. The pockets have deep 1" pleats which I'm not sure I did right.

But still, I love my wall organizer, more room to store all those little sewing trinkets! :D

    congrats zura dapat buat sesuatu yang baru selalu.. :-)

    i think if you buat strap untuk gantung tu a bit wider, mungkin dia tak jadi floppy kot.. akak rasa jelah.. :-)

    Hi Zura, found you from Mayya's site. Great job on the wall hanging. I hope to make one too and it is just too bad that I did not get it done this week. Just wanted to say that!
