Mary Beth from RetroMonkeys shares a free pattern at the Pattern Patter blog for making this hanging shoe organizer. The fabric organizer fits over a clothes hanger and has 16 pleated pockets to hold your shoes. You don’t have to store just shoes in it, either. I have a friend who uses one of these to sort her smallest fabric scraps and store her most-used sewing notions. With pockets made from a clear vinyl, you could easily see the contents. This pattern was originally published in a 1952 Workbasket Magazine. Follow the link below to get the pattern:

I love shoe bags I hang one with clear vinyl pockets on the inside of my coat closet door to store gloves, scarves, hats, even the dog leash and flashlight go into pockets.
I also have one on the back of my craft/office/storage room door and the bathroom door too.
