If you're tired of losing your sewing supplies while working on a project, this nifty little embroidery hoop sewing kit will keep all your tools in one place.

Instructions

  1. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 143709 img 2433

    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. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 143827 img 2434

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

  3. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 143846 img 2435

    Cut another rectangle of half the height for the pocket.

  4. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 143903 img 2436

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

  5. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 143938 img 2437

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

  6. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 144015 img 2438

    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. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 144105 img 2441

    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. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 144138 img 2442

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

  9. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 144153 img 2443

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

  10. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 144233 img 2444

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

  11. Small 110609 2f2015 08 26 144537 img 2446

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