My mother in law went to a bag party a few months ago and kept telling me about this cute little note card organizer that she saw there. She kept saying how she wished she had bought it to show me the design of it. So going by her explanation and the design of my own sewing bag, her little note card organizer was born. I have to say I love the way it turned out and of course now my little creative mind has come up with even more baskets for storing all of our goodies!
One side of the basket has slots for storing pencils, pens or markers.
While two sides of the organizer have pockets for storing note cards, envelopes or note pads.
Inside of the basket stores more note cards, plus I filled it with tape, white-out, scissors and other little goodies that she may use.
The organizer was pretty quick and easy to make. In case you are wondering, I will be sharing a tutorial for this cute little organizer for one of my upcoming fat quarter fridays. The basket is actually small enough to use up a few of our fat quarters. Just one more reason to love this little organizer. Of course the size of the basket can be adapted for storing larger items as well. I used terry cloth as my stabilizer. I was hoping to try a thin foam instead, but I didn’t get to the fabric store in time. I like the way the terry cloth gave the basket its shape and it is even firm enough to stand on its own. I think it worked great as a stabilizer but it was a little hard to work with at times because of its thickness in some spots. So I guess you could say I have a few kinks to works out still.
Just think of all the different baskets that can be made! I have already tweaked my design a bit, and have come up with a few other baskets that can be made for storing all our crafting goodies. Stay tuned!

What i don’t realize is in fact how you’re not actually a lot more smartly-appreciated than you may be now. You are so intelligent. You already know thus considerably when it comes to this topic, made me for my part believe it from a lot of various angles. Its like women and men are not interested unless it’s something to do with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. At all times handle it up!

This is so adorable. My daughter goes in out and out the hospital a lot and this would be so perfect to use as her “entertainment” bag. I would love to learn how to sew but cannot even manage to sew a button on properly without it falling off!!! Great job!!!!
kimberly
just found your blog – love this project. I couldn’t find any instructions listed on the tutorial page. I love the little (mass manufactured) square toted and would love to custom make one to better suit my needs. I do not have the step by step reasoning process that you have shown so well here. Please let me know if a tutorial is or will be available! Thanks so much for sharing! Keep up the good work!
