How to sew pockets

Everything is very simple, even a novice housewife can handle the job. Our step-by-step instructions suggest taking just 5 steps, and your baby will have a beautiful attribute.

Taking measurements

Most often, the organizer is hung on the side wall of the crib. This is what needs to be measured.If the crib is standard, then its width is 60 cm. Now we measure the height. In order for the wall to be completely closed, we take a height of 60 cm (less is possible).

Uncover

Cut out three squares measuring 60*60 cm from the selected material: two squares of multi-colored fabric and one of padding polyester.

For the pockets themselves we take two strips. One 70*22 cm is for the top row, the second 66*22 cm is for the bottom row. You can sew decorative braid along the edges or take white fabric and sew it on, folding the edges.

Pocket location

On the square for the front side of the product we place strips for pockets and sew them on. Along their lower edge on both sides we make one large gather so that the compartment is wider during use.

We separate the pockets from each other by stitching. We sew lace along the edge of the entire square, gathering it into a fold.

Sewing the organizer

We place two squares with their front sides facing each other and connect them with a stitch on three sides. Turn the product inside out and iron it.

Ties

Take 3 strips of fabric measuring 70*10 cm, fold them in half lengthwise and iron them. We sew the edges, bending them inward. We bend the resulting ties into a loop and connect them to the organizer itself. The product is ready.

Useful tips

The organizer will be very convenient to use if you create it according to your wishes. Because Before sewing the elements of the product together, secure them with pins. Evaluate the result according to your taste.
