Tutorial: Fold-up A-frame organizer

This A-frame organizer is pure genius!  Marni from Haberdashery Fun created it and she shares a tutorial so you can make one, too.  It keeps your cosmetics organized but also within easy reach because it  stands up.  But when you need to pack it in a suitcase or overnight bag, it folds up small and secure.  I need to make one for myself!  How about you?  I could also see this as travel sewing kit, with scissors and other notions stashed in the pockets.  Or how about with small pockets to hold pencils and crayons as a travel art center for a child.  I think I’ve just talked myself into making several of these!

  1. I saw you had this stand up frame but you had sewing accessories in it but I cant seem to find it. can you repost?

Have you read?

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
