More Letter Organizer

I added my own twist to Ayumi Takahashi's You've Got Mail Wall Pocket by making a large pocket on the back.

My experience with these things is that I always put too much stuff in them and then they distort.  Once distorted they don't seem to come back to their original shape.  So I slid a piece of the super thick interfacing into the back pocket....

It adds a bit of thickness and even weight but I got the largest rare earth magnets from Lee Valley and stuck them in the back so I could make it stay on the fridge.

Voila,
Thank you Ayumi for a great pattern.

Ok, I probably didn't need one more photo on this post but what the hey?

Letter Organizer

So here I am using Ayumi's design again.  This is her You've Got Mail Wall Pocket from her Patchwork Please! Book.  You may already realize that I like her ideas as this is the third thing I have made from this book.

The paper pieced envelopes were really quick to do and with the paper very perfect. Who doesn't like perfect?

I followed her advice and left two of the bottom pockets available for larger pieces of paper...

iPad Cover for my sister

My sister got an iPad too so I am making her a cover.  As she lives in Texas, I thought I would use this patriotic fabric for her.  Red is best.  Right?

She requested a pocket for her stylus and cleaning cloth.  Hope she likes it...

My Purse within My Purse

This is the problem.

I am a bit of a purse-a-holic and I like to change which one I am carrying at a moments notice.  The problem is all the stuff that hangs around at the bottom of my bag.  So here is my solution.

I used that super heavy interfacing that is iron-on on both sides for the centre velcro pocket and added the divided pockets to the outside of the 'bag' so everything is accessible.  I will try is this weekend and see how it goes.

Now I can slip my real wallet and this mini purse from one bag to the other quickly and easily.
