Gather all your supplies, then measure out the space in which you want to hang your organizer.

Cut a piece out of the heavy material using those dimensions, leaving an extra ¾-inch around the edges for the selvage.

Draw your desired pocket sizes onto the base, then cut out corresponding pockets in the patterned fabric.

Create a selvage on each pocket by folding the edge inward, then sew a straight stitch around the sides and bottom. This prevents the fabric from fraying.

Sew all the pockets onto the base.

Create a selvage for the outside of the organizer using the same method as the pockets.

Cut two pieces of equal size out of the heavy material. I used 6.5in x 6in as my measurements.

Fold the edges inward and pin, then sew a straight stitch down the middle to secure them. These will be your loops.

Secure the loops to the organizer's top with pins, then sew along the bottom.

Thread your wooden stick through the loops, then decide how you wish to hang the organizer.

If you're opting for a string, cut an appropriate length. Then, tie each end to either side of the stick. Otherwise, simply use some command hooks to secure the shaft to the wall.

You're done! Fill the organizer with notebooks, pens, craft supplies, cooking utensils… anything you need that little bit of extra space for.
