What I used:
- 2 back pockets from old jeans – cut leaving at least 1/4″ around each pocket (ideally 2 or 3″)
- Fabric strip 5″ x the width of your two pockets when sewn together
- Length of Ribbon
- Fabric Scraps for embellishment (optional)
- Iron on Interfacing (heavy/firm)
A bedside pocket organzier of course needs…you guessed it….pockets.
So let’s start there.
I was cutting up multiple pairs of old jeans to make a denim quilt and I didn’t know what I would do with the rest of the jeans so I just cut out each back pocket and set them aside.
I was sensible enough to leave about 2″ all the way around the actual pocket, in some cases more, to make sure that whatever I decided to do I had enough seam allowance to sew with them!
Have a question about this project?
What does the finished product look
like ! Before & after would help to understand what you did !
I counted 17 pictures that came up immediately without going to her blog......she did everything right.
Why are there no pictures of any of your DIY projects? Do we have to follow in order to see them?
Could be your browser or browser settings. I see all the pics.

Thank you for great directions of a useful item. But yes, throughout the project pictures would have been nice. Especially your finished Bed Pocket. Can you repost?
