The DIY hanging organizers have generous half-circle baskets that can hold all
kinds of things.

In my studio, I'm lling them with pre-cut fabrics, thread, and my tape measure

collection. :)

In a bedroom the hanging organizer could hold socks, undies, and accessories.

In a bathroom - maybe tissues, reading materials, and toilet paper, lol.

What are you going to put in your hanging organizer?

I used sturdy canvas for the back of the organizer and for reinforcing the
pockets (this is similar to mine). The oral pockets are sewn from beautiful
quilting cotton (Penelope from QT Fabrics). The graphic arrow pockets are
made with cute Premier Prints home decor fabric. I reinforced the upper
corners of the baskets by stitching triangles. And the bottom of each basket
contains ultra rm stabilizer. These can hold a lot without sagging!

Sewing Pattern? Let's sew!

You will need:

• 1 yard natural cotton duck canvas fabric, 60'' wide

• 3/4 yard coordinating fabric for the exterior of the baskets (pretty quilting
cotton or home decor fabric both work great)
• 1/2 yard Peltex 72F ultra rm double sided fusible stabilizer
• a heavy duty sewing machine needle, 90/14 or 100/16 recommended
• a 12'' long piece of a 3/8'' wooden dowel
• 26'' natural twine for hanging
• pencil or fabric marker
• Wonderclips (optional but very helpful for attaching the curved pieces)

Cutting:

From the natural cotton duck fabric, cut:

• 2 rectangles 31'' x 13''

• 3 rectangles 7'' x 16 3/4''
• 2 squares 5'' x 5''

Oops! I pre-washed some of my canvas duck fabric and learned a lesson. It got
big wrinkles that never came out, even with LOTS of ironing + steam. I'm using
the fabric anyway, but I won't make that mistake again.

From your pretty coordinating fabric, cut:

• 3 rectangles 7'' x 16 3/4''

and...

• 3 large circles - placing the straight edge of the pattern template on the
fabric fold

From the Peltex 72F stabilizer, cut:

the gray line and not folding the stabilizer.

Sew the back of the organizer:

Use a 1/2'' seam allowance.

1. Make the hanging tabs by folding the 5'' squares in half and sewing along the
long edge.

Press the seams open. Turn the tabs right side out and press them at with the
seam on the back of the strip.

Topstitch along both long edges, 1/4'' from the edge.

The power to play.

Verifique com sua operadora a disponibilidade para mais detalhes.

2. Fold the tabs in half with the seam hidden inside and pin the raw edges to
the top edge of one of the 31'' x 13'' pieces of canvas.

The tabs should each be 2'' away from the sides of the long piece.

Sew the tabs to the canvas back within the 1/2'' seam allowance.

3. Pin the two 31'' x 13'' canvas pieces right sides together (with the tabs in
between). VIDEO SEWING COURSES LOGIN

Stitch all the way around the piece, leaving 6'' open at the bottom for turning
right side out.

Tip: Before turning, press the edges open. This will help the edges turn out
completely.

Clip the corners.

4. Turn the organizer back right side out and push the edges and corners out
completely. Press.

5. Topstitch all the way around 1/4'' from the edge, closing the opening at the
same time.

6. Using a pencil or fabric marker, draw a 10'' line along

the bottom of the organizer, 1'' above the bottom edge.

Connect the ends of that line with 6'' tall vertical lines that
are approximately 1'' away from the sides of the organizer.

These are the placement lines for the lower basket.

7. Draw 2 more sets of placement lines, with 2'' separating

each basket.

The back of the organizer is nished. Set it aside while you

make the baskets.

Make the organizer pockets:

1/2'' seam allowance allowed.

1. Fold each circle in half and press. Place a half-circle of stabilizer inside, along
the fold line. Fold in half again and press well on both sides to fuse the stabilizer
completely.

Set the half-circle bottom pieces aside.

2. Pin a canvas and a coordinating fabric 7'' x 16 3/4'' rectangle right sides
together along the sides and top edge.

Stitch the sides and top edge only with a 1/2'' seam allowance.

Clip the corners. Turn the pocket right side out, and press.

3. Topstitch the top edge, 1/4'' from the edge.

Baste the lower edges together within the 1/2'' seam allowance.

Repeat Steps 2-3 to make the other 2 pockets.

4. Using a pencil or fabric marker, mark the center of the lower edge of the
pocket rectangle and the center of the curved edge of the pocket half circle
bottom.

Use small scissors to make 3/8'' snips all along the bottom edge of the pocket
rectangle. The clips should be at least every 3/4-1''.

5. Clip (or pin) the bottom edge of the pocket rectangle to the curved edge of a
half-circle pocket bottom.

The right side of the pocket should be against the pocket bottom. Start by
matching the center marks rst and placing a clip in the center. Then clip one of
the edges. Add more clips to ease the rectangle around the curved edge.

6. Sew the curved edge. Trim the seam allowance to 1/4''and nish it with a zig
zag stitch, or serge the edge to nish.

Attach all 3 pocket rectangles to half circle pocket bottoms.

Assemble the hanging organizer:

1. With the exterior (pretty) side of the pocket showing, pin the bottom straight
edge over the 10'' long straight line at the bottom of the canvas back.

2. Stitch along the straight bottom of the pocket, 1/8'' from the edge.

Sew small triangles to reinforce the top corners of each pocket.

4. Insert the 12'' long dowel through the hanging tabs.

Tie the 26'' long piece of twine to either end of the dowel with slip knots.

Thank you so much for this pattern. I've need this sort of thing for a while

Love your unique way of making deep pockets without using the usual
pleat method. It was puzzling until I saw your fabulous tute pics where
the bottom curve was sewn to the rectangle. Brilliant idea! As for the
wrinkled cotton duck - try spritzing white vinegar directly onto the
wrinkled fabric & pressing with a dry iron. I've gotten wrinkles and center
fold creases out of many cotton fabrics by using the vinegar.
