This is just a cute, simple little thing to store your CDs in your car! I just used fabric I had left over from an old project. The way I had mine set up holds 6 CDs, but of course you could alter it to have two back to back, or even fit more CDs on the same piece!

You Will Need (6 things)
- Matching Thread
- 6 in 3 pieces of solid, 3 pieces of Decorative Fabric
- 12 ½ in Decorative Fabric
- 12 ½ in Fusible Interfacing
- 14 ½ in Decorative Fabric
- Sewing Machine
Steps (13 steps, 60 minutes)

1
For the first step, cut out a piece of fusible interfacing that is 12.5 inches by 6 inches.

Next, cut out a piece of fabric that is an inch bigger on all sides then the piece you just cut. This piece should be 14.5 inches by 8 inches.

Then, cut out out a piece of fabric that is the same size as the fusible interfacing which was 12.5 inches by 6 inches.

Next, you will want to cut out 6 pieces of fabric that are 6 inches by 8 inches. I forgot to take a picture of this, but I choose 3 of a solid color and 3 of my original fabric. Then, take these pieces and fold them in half with the right side out. Place this piece (with the fold up) on the fabric. I used a CD to determine how far down it would need to be so the CD would not hang off the top. Pin This in place.

Do this for all of your pieces. My pieces overlapped, except for the 1.5 inches that showed. I didn't measure this, so more or less. It doesn't have to be precise, just make sure the CD will be able to fit in all of the slots.

Flipping the pieces to the other side, I sewed around the two sides and the bottom of the first flap, pivoting at the corners. I drew a line to show where to sew... I sewed it on the edge of the presser foot.

Then, I took my sissors and just trimmed off all the stray pieces of thread and made the fabric line up better on the sides.

Next, I simply flipped over the next fabric and sewed it the same way.

After, I placed this piece with the bigger piece together with the wrong sides together. With the excess fabric, I folded it in half, then folded it over the piece we just made. This should cover all the lines you just sewed, along with any raw edges.

For step ten, I just continued doing step nine. I did both of the long sides, and then did the shorter sides. Make sure you do opposite sides, then the other opposite sides. I also used a lot of pins to make sure that it would lay nicely. Make sure you focus on corners being straight.

When I sewed this part, I sewed as close to the inside edge as I could.

For the final step, I sewed the corners. This was just to sew them down because they were not completely secure.
