Crafter's Organizer
This was made out of necessity without ever having the intention of writing it up so the one in the photo is not a pretty as it could be, play with it and make it your own. I hope this guide helps you and can make your crafting life a little bit easier. This pattern has not been tested but is very easy and very basic

1 jumbo skein of yarn (l used a little over half) Jhook Clothes hanger Wooden dowel Tapestry needle

Attach pockets to back piece
Lay your back piece on a flat surface and pin the pockets in place where you'd like them then sew them onto the back piece using the long tails of yarn from each piece leaving the top open and unsewn - you do want a little bit of a "bubble" or bunch it up before sewing so the pocket is not too tight. Once finished, pull the leftover ends to the back of the piece, knot and hide ends.
HANGER
The hanger could be any kind of hanger you choose -I used a department store pant hanger and did a slip stitch over top to hide the plastic. Weave a wooden dowel thru the top loops of your organize and clip onto hanger and enjoy your new organizer.
