Yesterday we got all the bits and pieces of the Banyan Batiks African Violets put together. Now it’s time to assemble everything to finish the sewing organizer.
- Sew pocket 1 to the inside panel, 9½” down from the top.

Placement lines on the inside panel
- Sew pocket 2 to the quilted 9½” x 19½” rectangle, 3″ up from the bottom. Have the open edge ¼” below the 3″ line.

Sew pocket #2 on the outside, quilted rectangle.
- Fold pocket 2 down and hand-stitch in place.

Fold pocket down and hand-stitch in place.
Putting it all together
- Layer the quilted front and the inside rectangle (right sides together) aligning all the outside edges. Using an even-feed or walking foot, stitch the layers together with a ¼” seam, leaving a 2″ opening for turning on one side. You can round the corners a little if you like.

Corners can be slightly rounded for a nicer finish.
- Turn right side out. Press. Hand-stitch the opening closed.
- Top-stitch ⅜” from the outside edges.

Top-stitch all around the outside edge.
- Hand-stitch the pin cushion in place, 6″ down from the top.
- Sew the 30″ piece of ribbon on the front panel, 6½” down from the top as shown in the picture below.

Sew the ribbon tie in place on the outside panel.
- Fold up the fabric 3″ from the bottom to form a pocket. Hand-stitch the pocket layers together along the outside edges.
- Put in your thread, needles, pins and scissors. Roll up your Banyan Batik African Violets sewing organizer and you’re ready to go with all your sewing supplies!
