Ingredients
  

  • 7 oz 100% cotton canvas in natural 63" wide
  • Sewing machine and matching thread
  • Fabric scissors
  • Printable Student Chair Organizer sewing pattern
  • Iron and ironing board

Instructions
 

Cutting

  • If you're using the printable pattern, send the downloaded PDF file to print maintaining the scale as is and once printed tape all the connecting red borders together to form a complete pattern.

Sewing

  • Finish one of the short ends of the shorter rectangular piece; the chair organizer FRONT (1). This will form the finished hem on the front side.
  • Finish one of the short ends of the long rectangular piece; the chair organizer BACK (2). This edge will form the opening to the chair organizer.
  • Fold and press the edges of the POCKET (3) piece in by ½” (WRONG side facing up) and then fold the pocket opening edge another ½” before stitching the hem along the opening.
  • Position the prepared POCKET piece on top of the BACK piece matching circles and pin in place.
  • Stitch the POCKET piece to the BACK piece with a ¼” top stitch along all three sides.
  • Fold the BACK piece RIGHT sides together matching notches. Sew from the folded edge to the first notch on both sides with a ½” seam allowance.
  • Clip the notch as close to the stitch as possible without going past it.
  • Turn the BACK piece right side out and poke the corners out so they lay flat.
  • With WRONG sides together, sew the two layers together along both sides from the first notch all the way to the top edge. Use a basting stitch.
  • Place FRONT and BACK pieces RIGHT sides together. Sew the pieces together along all three sides with a ½” seam allowance.
  • Turn the chair organizer right side out. Stitch the seam allowance at the opening towards the back.
