  2. This month's free project is how to make a sewing roll organzier. You will need: fabrics, ribbon, felt, thread, needle & sewing machine.

    Step 1: cut 2 oblongs of fabric (mine were slightly bigger than A4) now cut 4 pieces of fabric ( 2 for each pocket) or one piece folded over, I used the black check as the inside of my pocket. take 2 pieces of pocket fabric and sew together down the long side, turn and press, do the same with the other side.

    Step 3: place a pocket on each side, I decided to sew lines to make smaller pockets, its entirely up to you, depends what you want to fill it with. I hand sewed the pin cushion to the pocket, take care not to sew all the way through, or else you wont be able to use a pocket I added a small felt oblong for putting needles in,
