Scout Book Hanging Pocket Tutorial

One of the things I love about having my sewing machine sitting at the ready is that I can quickly sew things for my family and my home as the need arises. This week I used my sewing skills to solve a little organization dilemma, and whipped up a little book pocket for my son's scout book. It has been the perfect solution for busy nights. I'll show you how to make one too!

Hanging pocket

I went to a baby shower this weekend and sewed up a little gift to give.  Of course this was stitched up just before heading out the door, thankfully I got a couple of photos of it.  I need to be better at planning ahead. Remember when I made the Scout Book Pocket and I said my brain was spinning with all kinds of other pocket ideas? Well this was one of them.  A little things Hanging Pocket Organizer that is perfect for storing little things a baby needs. Shoes, pacifiers, socks, etc.

I stuffed it with shoes, washcloths and pacifier to finish it off.

I used some of the lovely Anthology fabrics that I won from the Purse Palooza competition. I love how this turned out. Here's the back...

 Someone at the shower pointed out that this could be useful to this little girl as she grows up too, as a place to store little dollies or toys. Big girls could use one too. In fact, I think I need one for myself.  Wouldn't it be a great way to showcase the fabric that I love?  Oh dear, my project list just keeps growing...
