I decided to make a seat back car organizer for our upcoming roadtrip. I bought a pattern (at JoAnn's $1 pattern sale) that had multiple different options. The problem I was having was there were too many useless to me pockets (Kaylin doesn't have an iPod, or earbuds, or a CD player, or a DVD player, and not much to fit in those pockets), the pattern needed a lot of materials that I didn't already own (lots of fabric, interfacing, webbing, parachute clip, binding), and it would take a lot of time.
So I scoured the internet and found an easy tutorial instead. I only had to cut three pieces of fabric and the sewing was easy. To attach this to the back of the car seat it just needed two button holes at the top and a piece of elastic at the bottom. I had this fabric in my stash and it was perfect because it was a heavier weight fabric. I used this fabric three years ago to make a purse and the rest of the fabric has been sitting in a drawer. No longer! Here is my finished organizer:
It's hard to see the pockets in the above picture, so I put some of Kaylin's travel items in it.
And here it is in the car.
Hopefully this makes the trip more organized!
