Then I will put hooks under the counter top of the kitchenette where I do my cutting. Also put hooks in the closet to move the organizer when we have guests. I'm also going to figure out a way to modify one to hold my sewing machine extension so that can be hung in the closet.
I noticed that you put pleats in the outside pocket. Did you do that in all on the pockets? Need to open your tute--the answer is probably right there:)
You have just unleashed a creative streak in a bunch of people. Thank you!!!
LOL, you caught me!! I had to put the pleats in because my fibrofoggy brain mismeasured and my pocket panel was too wide for my space. I was NOT up to ripping it all apart, so the pleats were necessary for fitting the two together and into my available space. This is also why I couldn't take that seam up the sides that I included in the tutorial. If I had, then my pocket for the long ruler would have become too narrow as would the one for my strip ruler. I will probably make another at some point without this error, and put this one to another use. Perhaps for storing other items on the other end of the desk.
