From patterns, charts, notes and stuff...it accumulates rather quickly and becomes an unsightly mess!
My solution: A Hanging Organizer. Not just any organizer. One that will take care of the inside of the door issue, but also for the tools and things I use every day.
From this:
To this:
Double pockets! Fabric on the inside, clear vinyl on the outside! I couldn't be happier with how this one turned out!
If you are interested in making one similar to this, I have a tutorial on Fort Worth Fabric Studio Blog today!
I would love to see your version of this Hanging Organizer!

That is very cool! I made one with vinyl several years ago to hang longarm rulers in but mine doesn't have as many pockets or as much stability as yours. While mine still works fine and has stood the test of time, I like yours better. Thanks for the tute! I'll have to make one for the back of my closet door someday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicki! I really wanted a sturdy and durable solution and this so far has worked perfectly. I love that it can be customized to individual needs too!

DeleteI have limited closet space and storage so I am always looking for solutions that will help the situation. This is a great option! It is super easy to install with its velcro fastener on the top. It stays in place and is also pretty secure as long as you don't overload it. The picture shows hats, but it is big enough that you can use it for a wide variety of things. I have tee shirts and scarves on mine. They stay nicely on the shelf and as long as you don't overload the shelf, the shelf stays nice and even without bowing. I really like that it also makes things visible and easy to grab. Convenience is key when you have a busy lifestyle and this organizer really helps. I highly recommend it, especially if you have limited storage space.
Great idea Jayne! How I never thought about all the space behind the doors! x Teje
ReplyDeleteI have limited space so I use every inch I can find! The inside of my door has been the 'catch all' for so many things, it just needed a make over!
Deleteoh yeah! This is a terrific idea!! (though I do love the 'before' photo of your door!)
ReplyDeleteIt got to a point where I couldn't find anything! It was in need of a make-over and hopefully it will make my life a little easier! That remains to be seen!
DeleteYears ago I made dozens of these with pockets to hold the packages of soups and gravies that could be hung inside your pantry door.
ReplyDeleteThey are perfect for so many things and places! I remember making a diaper holder back in the day…not with vinyl, but it worked well for our small nursery!
DeleteGreat organiser, I wouldn't have though of adding the clear vinyl, it works great. I checked out the tutorial and found your 'Hanging a Mini Quilt' tutorial, I haven't seen that method before and I love it. Thank you.

The clear vinyl is great to see small things or being able to take a quick look at a reference chart! I'm not sure the hanging method is the best solution for the organizer, but its a great option!
DeleteGreat tutorial and so handy too! I've been thinking I need something like this for my tools too. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this will help tutorial will help you with your own organizer! It has been pretty handy so far!
DeleteI've been using a over the door shoe organizer but this is much cuter!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. Wish I had a place to hang one.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, Jayne! I saw that you had a FWFS tutorial in my blog feed and got all excited for you.
ReplyDeleteI know it has cleaned up my door and made finding things a lot easier! Hopefully others will take the tutorial and make it their own!
DeleteThis is such a great idea, I should make one for my kitchen...maybe then the counter and chest freezer wouldn't collect so much random crap?
ReplyDeletePlaces have a way of collecting stuff…my door was getting pretty unsightly! I like the organizer because you can use pretty fabrics and it really keeps me organized…so far!
DeleteWhat a great idea. I need all the help I can get to stay organized. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good looking organiser, thinking I may make this for my sister's birthday gift .... - tutorial has been pinned!!
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant and looks great! If i ever get round to rearranging my craft room i'll need one of these for next to my cutting table
