Sew Pockets Together

Sew Pockets Together

Line them up right sides together, trim edges so that the surrounding denim is the same length and sew.

Next, find a strip of fabric that is the same width across as your finished pocket panel and about 5-6 high.

Interfacing

If you want your bedside pocket organizer to be functional you need to give it some stability. This is what the interfacing is for.

I cut out one piece for each organizer I was making. I cut it approximately 1 smaller all the way around than my full bedside pocket organizer front panel.
