Backlog: Theoretically Useful

My next project was an attempt to get myself under control and more organized in my approaches to sewing. With a pincushion, elastic, and a lot of pockets, I would surely have everything at my fingertips with a sewing apron.

The update a few months on is that it lives on the back of the chair in the sewing room and has become a repository for pens, pencils, and safety pins.

Fabric: Remnants from Jo-Ann
Pattern: Drafted from scratch
Other Materials: Batting for pincushion. Can't remember if I interfaced this or not. I probably did. I was really into interfacing at this point, because I'd finally found one that I liked (Pellon SF-101 for the record, I think I'd already bought an entire bolt)
Modifications: NA
Changes for Next Time: If you can't tell from the pictures, the pincushion causes some bunching. Possibly one of the reasons it ended up on the back of the chair is because the straps are a bit short and I can't easily tie them in the back. Also, you can't have two rows of flat pockets and put pens in both layers. And the elastic straps for the scissors won't hold the biggest scissors or the smallest ones-the ones on the left in the picture fall out if you lean over.
