SewUseful Hanging Organizer

Step 8 Create a paper pocket.

For my large gauge crochet hooks I needed a pocket that was big enough yet not too loose that the hooks fell out. This is solution.

Take a sheet of paper. I love this pattern paper and the design fits the them very well. Cover the paper in sticky-back plastic front and back.

Place the paper in the chosen position on the organizer background and stitch down one side close to the edge. As you are stitching through paper and plastic any mistakes will show up so take your time!.
Also use a long stitch length as lots of holes close together will be a weak point for the paper.

Now place one of the hooks in the pocket and using a zipper foot on the sewing machine stitch a vertical line on the pocket close to the hook - see picture 1.

Continue with all the crochet hooks. after the last hook, trim the excess paper.

To secure the pockets at the base fold the paper at each side so that the folds on each side are even. Machine stitch across. To neaten the base, stitch a short length of ribbon along the bottom, tucking in the raw edges at the end.
