| 6' drawers in sewing room |
One of the things I love to do is sew. I have a
wonderful sewing machine and waay too much fabric! I have been reading lots of sewing and cooking blogs during my semester break. One of the blogs that I read,
Sew, Mama, Sew!, has been talking about how important it is to RECYCLE. The authors are giving away a
very interesting book all about reinventing sewing with recycled stuff! I want to win this book.
To that end, I am sharing a picture (or two) of a sewing organizer I made from old blue jeans. I had the greatest fun choosing pockets (off old pants) that would be used for storage, cutting up the legs to make the background. It's kinda heavy, but it's durable! And, useful!

This is my sewing organizer - notice the spot along the side for a yardstick. You can see that the back is just one large piece of blue fabric and there is a rod pocket.
There is no pattern, just pick cool pockets, add a waistband to hold a yardstick, attach stuff to pieces of pant legs, and add a backing. Voila! you're organized
Can you see the cool design right below the pinking shears? It was on a pant leg! No you can't - here's a close-up.
So what would you fill these pockets with? Let me know.
