I did it! I followed a pattern all by myself (and even modified it, I might add) and have a finished project! It wasn’t all rainbows and roses, (it was tricky trying to figure out how to sew the seams around the pockets without sewing up the pockets), but I worked through it and figured it out! I would like to thank my husband for ignoring all of the bad language he heard as I worked through the more difficult parts of the pattern and also learned how to really use my sewing machine (since this is the first project I’ve sewn entirely with my own machine).
I am SO excited that I have a new bedside organizer that I can really put to use! If you look at the pattern from the previous post, you will notice that I did modify it a little. The pattern shows two rows of three pockets. Once I cut out the tissue paper from the pattern, I realized that it would just be too wide, so I made two rows of two pockets. It’s perfect for my bedside! I am definitely going to enjoy putting things in this organizer and not have them cluttering up my bedside table or stuck in my bedside stand where it will be hard to find them in the middle of the night. Now everything I might need in the middle of the night is handy and in one place!
