Hanging Sewing Machine Organization

A while back I bought the weighted pin cushion/thread catcher that is next to my machine.
While I was at the quilt shop where I bought it, I got some coordinating fabric to make the under machine hanging organizer. I finally got around to it, and I have no idea what took me so long. It was so easy and only took about 10 minutes to make. I wish I had tutorial pics!


I had a fat quarter of the blue fabric and a half yard of the red with scissors.
I cut the red to the fat quarter size and used the extra to make a pocket.

The pocket is simply a piece of fabric the width of the whole piece and then folded in half (the fold being the top) and then sewn to the blue fabric in straight dividing lines for separate pockets.

I then laid the blue fabric (with pocket sewn on) and the red backing fabric right sides together. I added a piece of batting, stitched around the edges. Clipped the corners. Turned it. Topstitched and done!

Very easy. And so functional.
This fabric will look great in my sewing room once I can find it. :)
It is buried project fury, currently. Hence my sewing machine on the kitchen table. hehe.
