Fabric (approximately 24 x 36) 3 pieces of complementary fabric: (20 x 20, 20 x 13, 20 x 11) Over-the-door hooks
Sewing machine and thread Scissors Pins Iron and ironing board Grommet puncher and grommets (hole size at least in diameter)
1. Fold, pin, press and sew hems s around all sides of the large piece of fabric (hems should be folded to the wrong side).
2. Starting with the largest pocket rst (20 x 20), fold, pin and press hems around all four edges. Fold entire piece in half and press. The folded edge will become the top of the pocket and the hemmed edges will be the bottom of the pocket.
3. Repeat with the other smaller pockets, making sure that fabric is folded in half horizontally to create a pocket that is 20 wide and varying heights (the pockets get smaller as they go up). So bottom pocket when folded is 9 high, second is 6 high, and top is 5 high.
4. Center and pin the pockets 23 apart on the larger piece of fabric with largest pocket on the bottom.

5. You will be attaching the pockets to the large piece, sewing along the three sides; right, bottom and left. Starting with top right corner of the bottom pocket, run through the sewing machine from edges, attaching 3 sides (right, bottom and left) to the larger piece.
7. To make compartments within the pockets, simply measure and mark middle of bottom pocket at top and bottom, and sew a straight line attaching the middle of the pocket to the larger piece of fabric underneath.
8. Repeat this in thirds for the middle pocket and quarters for the top pocket.
9. In the top corners of the larger piece of fabric, cut small holes at least 1 from the edge on both sides. Place the two corresponding grommet pieces on either side of the hole in the fabric, and seal together with the grommet puncher.
10. Use the hooks to hang your new organizer over your door, and ll it with all your favorite accessories.
