Getting ready for summer travel, I decided I needed a jewelry organizer to replace the ziploc bag I’ve been using (soooo elegant!)
The inside, with zippered rainbow organza pockets for small items and a couple of large zip pockets too.
All folded up
All from stash; I recycled a purse I made recently (from stash fabrics); it was just too small but it had several zippered pockets. I wound up picking out half of each zipper to make the organza pockets, and piecing together bits of the 3 different fabrics used for the purse. I wound up making 3 separate pouches with pockets on both sides, then hinging them together with embroidery floss.
I know I bought some plain white organza a couple of years ago just for projects like this, but despite my recent reorganization of fabric, I couldn’t find it. Good thing, because I love the way the rainbow organza (from a thrift store) looks.
It’s kind of wodgy and uneven, and I swear it’s breeding loose threads, but its 4 zippered pockets and 2 patch pockets will hold and protect my earrings, pendants, bracelets, a checkbook, and a variety of other items I haven’t thought of yet.
If I had made it from all new fabric and zippers, it would have been neat and tidy, and taken half as much time. Where’s the fun in that?
Incidentally, I styled it with ginormous silver earrings to show off the pockets. I could probably fit 4 pairs of my regular earrings in each section.
