Hanging pocket organizer from Fabric scrap

Hi! I am back with another sewing craft project from fabric scrap. I like to save bits and pieces of  colourful fabric and give them  new life.
This past week I made one to arrange my dressing table mess and realised how essential it is to have a hanging organizer which can be used for anything whether it be for newborn items, like nappies, creams, wipes, cotton wool etc, or it can be used for stationery, accessories and so on.




Sewing LevelBeginner Friendly

Items required:
1. Stiff cotton fabric for main panel

2. Any size cotton fabric for pockets of your choice
3. Ribbon for binding area.
4. Plastic clothic hanger, we usually get along with kids clothes. 
5. Basic sewing supplies.

Make and hang this simple organizer on the wall so you can de-clutter your home! It's a cute and creative way to organize your belongings. 

Next time I will surely add some images along my project so that the tutorial is more easy to follow.
Happy sewing :)

DIY; Super cool Custom pillow case

It feels wonderful when we receive or give custom made gifts to our loved ones. I have tried my hands on sewing a cute pillow case for my sweet little sister. My sewing machine said,'Thank you for removing the dust on me and moving my parts.'
Having an infant at home there is hardly any time for myself yet my creative side keeps peeping out and looking for an opportunity to showcase the ingenious mind. It's been almost a month since I was trying to update my blog on new DIY projects and finally tonight I got the opportunity.
Ok, now lets get into business and I will share the super cool custom made pillow case details.
Next time before discarding your old clothes think twice and there will be a plethora of ideas to upcycle them.


What you need:

1. An old kurta. (Cotton preferably)
2. Old T- shirts.
3. Lace
4. Pair of scissors.
5. Matching thread
6. Sewing Machine for sure.
7. Cotton

Procedure:

Step 1- Measure and cut the kurta as per your pillow. Keep 4 inches extra in one side for the backward fold.
Step 2- Prepare the applique. Whatever you want to say or whomever you want to address. This one was for my sister so I made it "SIS".
Step 3- Now the fun part. I wanted to say "Love sweet Sister" so made a heart, chocolate and sister applique. Make sure to fill in the image with cotton for the pop. Wow.
You can think of anything and cut images accordingly.
Step 4- Mark the images in place and then sew them.
Step 5- Final procedure is to sew both front and back sheet of the pillow cover and attach the lace in the border.

Done... now my baby is being impatient so I got to stop. Feel free to drop in any query or feedback.
