  • Sewing Machine
  • Pins
  • Scissors

Steps (11 steps, 25 minutes)

  1. 1

    For this project, you'll need an embroidery hoop (I painted mine white), some fabric you like and a tape measure. Pick an embroidery hoop that's large enough to hold all of your supplies in the middle.

  2. 2

    Cut a square of fabric slightly larger than your embroidery hoop.

  3. 3

    Cut another rectangle of half the height for the pocket.

  4. 4

    Fold the top edge of the pocket over by 1/2" and then over by another 1/2" and pin along the top.

  5. 5

    Sew along this edge, removing the pins as you go.

  6. 6

    If you've got an old tape measure you don't need, you can sew it along the top edge on the front of your pocket. This comes in really handy whenever you need a quick small measurement.

  7. 7

    Place the backing fabric and pouch inside the embroidery hoop and work out where you'd like the pockets to be, marking the lines with pins.

  8. 8

    Sew the vertical lines for the pockets. You don't have to sew along the bottom edge.

  9. 9

    Place the fabric inside your embroidery hoop and tighten into it's final position.

  10. 10

    Use some pinking scissors to cut away excess fabric from the edges.

  11. 11

    Fill with supplies and hang on the wall or keep at your sewing desk.
