- Colour changes form the individual pocket fronts.
- A firm tension helps the pockets keep their shape when in use.
- The piece is designed to drape securely over a sofa arm without slipping.
Step-by-Step Overview

- Work the three contrasting pocket fronts (charcoal, cream and terracotta).
- Sew the pocket fronts onto the main panel, leaving the tops open.
- Finish the edges neatly.
- Weave in all ends and gently block if needed so the organiser sits flat and tidy.
