Multi-Pocket Organizer: Creating Panel & Inserting Hanger

Video Transcript

"We'll start by choosing a pair of jeans to be the base of our organizer. And, you want to choose a nice heavy hanger, and one that will fit into the jeans. So, we're going to put the hanger right inside the top of the jeans here. And you want it to fit nicely. Oh, we'll poke in that pocket. And we're going to pin the top section right here. We want to be able to put the hanger into the pants, and have only the hook hanging out. And you can pin that in place here, right across. Now you might want to, because this is a triangular hanger, you might want to place a bit of stiffening material underneath here. Maybe a piece of plastic cut from a milk bottle that you can cut into this shape, and just make it so that this won't be flapping over. Okay, and we'll pin this as tightly to the hanger as possible, so that when the hanger is pulled, it won't come out. And we'll also pin - the hanger comes down at an angle like this - we'll be sewing just a little bit inside the pocket. And we're sewing the front of the jeans to the back of the jeans, and that will also support the hanger. And then next we're going to cut out this bulky section. We don't want this crotch section here, so we're just going to cut that out. We don't want the heavy seam there, because it's difficult to sew over the heavy seam. So, we're just going to cut that right out. And also it helps for the jeans to lay flat. And then we'll need another section to cover that, and to make the jeans into one flat panel. So, you can take an additional leg section like this, and just cut it down so you have a long enough strip to cover this whole leg section - the whole crotch section there - so we have a nice flat piece. So, I need one long strip, so I'll cut this leg. I'm going to take off all these heavy seams here. And most of this will get covered up, so I'm not so concerned that these jeans are bleached or messed up, because most of that will get covered up. And I'm going to fit in a piece that will attach the...and I'll just top sew it and not worry about the frizz. And, you can piece in pieces so that we end up with one flat panel."
