What you’ll make
Sew a compact fold-out organizer for period supplies, with a fabric pocket, a clear pocket, divided elastic holders and a snap closure.
The interior keeps tampons, pads, wipes or small medication together instead of loose in a bag. The clear pocket shows its contents, while the folded format stays discreet.
Double-sided fusible interfacing adds body, and bias tape finishes the upper edges of both pockets.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Interface a small fabric pocket and bind its edge.
- Sew bias tape and visible stitching on clear plastic.
- Help plastic glide with temporary paper, fabric or washi tape.
- Shape elastic loops and reinforce each division.
- Support and position a snap closure.
- Turn and finish a layered organizer with optional rounded corners.
Fabric and supplies
Combine exterior and lining fabrics with a fabric pocket, clear plastic, bias tape, elastic, trim, double-sided fusible interfacing and a snap.
Clips are useful around the plastic because pinholes remain visible. A small fabric or interfacing scrap can reinforce the snap area.
Make it your own
Adjust the elastic loops for the products you carry, making smaller or larger divisions as needed. A sewn-in elastic loop can replace the snap closure.
Choose square or rounded corners, add lace over visible plastic stitching, or finish the lower opening with bias tape or trim.
The same layout can become a card holder or compact emergency sewing kit. If you resize it, adjust the components together.
The video class includes a downloadable PDF with the organizer layout and measurements.
