At the beginning of every year I want a fresh beginning, so somehow I end up going through my closets, cleaning things out, and lining up projects. The first project of the year, pictured above, is a book cozy.
With homeschooling, there are always too many books lying around and not enough storage space. The only place left was the wall just above the desk, and I was not about to spend $100 or more on pocket shelving. So I found some canvas that I was going to make a beach bag out of years ago, red denim my mom handed down to me, and set off to sewing. I made two of these four-pocket cozies, hanging one above the other on lightweight garden stakes (only after they were sewn did I find out that dowels were not long enough for the sleeve in the top!).
They are working so well that I am already eyeing other blank spots on walls in the other rooms.
I totally LOVE this! I wish that I had the space to sew right now! :( Ahh well soon enough I guess.
