Instructions
- Layer the batting between the two 22" fabrics
and machine baste together.
- Use any type of circle to round off corners on all
sides.
Mark
all vinyl pieces as shown in View 1. Make small nips in seam
allowance to mark placements.
- To make pleats in vinyl pockets, on the outside bring
solid lines to dotted lines. Baste in place at the bottom only.
Hint: Use a Teflon foot to sew on
vinyl. If a Teflon foot is not available, use the tissue paper in
which the vinyl was sold. You can sew with the tissue underneath the
vinyl, on top of the vinyl or with the vinyl sandwiched between two
sheets of tissue paper. Test to find which works best with your
machine. View 2

Fold
bias strips to make double folded. Press. Apply binding to the lower
edges of all pockets covering the previous basting stitch.
- Open out pleats at the upper edge and apply binding.
- Position the first 6" pocket so that the pocket
lower edge is 2" from the lower edge of organizer. Each pocket
hereafter is placed 2" above the preceding one. Pocket heights as
shown, from the bottom up, measure 6", 6" 5" and
4". Edge-stitch each in place through the binding along the lower
edges.
- To make hanging tabs fold 22½" x 3½"
fabric strip lengthwise, right sides together. Stitch, to form a tube,
and turn right side out. Center the seam and press flat. Cut into 3
equal tabs, folding each tab in half lengthwise. At the top of
organizer pin the raw edges of a tab 2" from each edge, with the
rest of the tab hanging downward. Center the third tab between the two
in the same fashion. Baste by hand or machine.
- Apply binding around organizer edges. To join
binding, turn under one end and lap over the other.
- Press tabs up (Be careful not to touch vinyl with
iron.) Stitch over the binding stitching at the tabs to hold them in
place.
