How to Make a Bedside Pocket

[@barbarabarger9938]

I just made the larger version of the bedside caddy! Thanks so much. Can't wait for my granddaughter to get it!

[@SewVeryEasy]

OH yes! glad you liked it:)

[@josephinepaul6]

I am using pre quilted fabric and making it super fast! Such a cool caddy! Thank you for the video

[@janriley1889]

I love the bed caddy and how simple it is to make. I had an idea where else to place one. The night stand. It would serve as a table topper and the pockets on the side for your things. I had to share!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Jan Riley Great idea! do pockets on both sides and it gives you even more room, Love it. Thanks for sharing

[@1tbaccus]

I love this pattern. I've watched a few times But i finally finished in time for mothers day. She's not really mom but as close to one as I've got. And i used the cabin quilt pattern. To match the quilt and pillows I also made her. I think she is gonna love her set. Thank you.

[@ornelladay2041]

Hi Laura finally made mine! Size wise it was inbetween your two with pockets for Kindle and 3 others but oops, I didnt sew down my pockets until I had added all the binding. Tip - if someone else does the same start sewing the pockets from the bottom up towards the opening to allow for "travel" - I had to undo the first stitching line due to this. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Ornella Day Good note to make! thanks for sharing:)

[@HRHDMKYT]

Thanks for this video, Laura. I'm going to make the wider version so I can store my laptop and cell phone while they charge overnight... and for some added pockets for books, hand lotion, etc. What a great idea. p.s. It was great to meet you in person at Quilt Canada last summer. Still enjoying all of your YT videos! ~Diana from Toronto

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you and thanks you for all your support:)

[@ksandry1]

Hi Laura I have made the larger one for my grand children for Christmas. I got some fabric from IKEA which is made to colour in, I got them to do that and then made that as the pockets. They look great and I am very pleased with them ,unfortunately I'm not sure how to add a photo to this comment otherwise I would do so. Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Maxine Sandry Thanks for sharing, and please go to my fb page and post the pictures.I would love o see them.:) facebook.com/sewveryeasy

[@eileenfb1948]

This is such a good idea. I might use this project as I can never see where I've put my glasses. Thank you.

[@SewVeryEasy]

I have in mine my Glasses, books, hand cream, elastic for my hair and of course tissue. Enjoy

[@yvonneluke456]

So lovely..Laura..what did you mean by quilting ❓thank you ..jan

[@lesliebowman7396]

Thanks you made it so simple. This other lady had me so confused

[@rhondaflanders4386]

Beautiful fabric. I have a pattern for a caddy cut from plastic canvas that's probably more sturdy though.

[@wafaaanwar9548]

Very convenient and it will really clear any mess. Lovely

[@SewVeryEasy]

I love mine!

[@kerranky]

only today i was thinking i need something hanging at the side of my bed, i have various things i need to get during the night if necessary, thank you for the tutorial, i'm going for the larger one!!!

[@alilee7410]

Love, love, love this, quilted - perfect, off to my stash to select some fabric, my bedside table & lamp will be clear at last, easier to dust too :0)

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Chrissy Oldfield I have two, one for each side.....thanks for watching

[@susanabanana2024]

Hi Laura! Thank you for your great tutorials. I saw a quilt in shades of brown that I reaally would likto to make. I think it is beautiful. i saw it hanging behind you in your tutorial on making a fabric storage bin/box. I am new to sewing so I do not know the pattern (s) used to make the quilt. what is this pattern called and do you have a tutorial teaching how to make it?

[@SewVeryEasy]

+susie czellar Will see if I can find the free pattern online for you:) thanks

[@debjacobson9800]

Thank you Laura.

[@lauraclark9698]

Would it be possible to make this without anything fusible? I've never used and I would prefer to just use what I have. Regular batting?

[@darlenelahaise2696]

Thank you very much for your prompt reply, I'll try that.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Darlene LaHaise Your welcome

[@kay.hthrkc9302]

Could you do a tutorial on making a sewing machine pad with pockets in front for organizing the small items like scissors/seam ripper/pins/pin cushion/little trash bag for thread that need to be at hand quickly etc?

[@SewVeryEasy]

Kay Hinkle Good idea! let me work on it. thanks

[@lauralarios423]

Great project. Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks and Thanks for watching:)

[@daboujibokittykat]

I have a question about the part where you attach the binding. After you sew the quarter of an inch and fold it over, do you sew again to attach the binding to the back? Would a double-fold binding work so that you can just sew once then? Would you use a continuous binding tape for the binding especially for the larger pocket? (I'm making the larger for my daughter's dorm.) Also, did you miter the corners when sewing the binding to the final caddy? I can't tell from the video? Thanks!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Yes, it will need to go to the back side and stitched down, you could do as you said and use a double-fold binding. Both work great and yes I did miter the corners. Thanks for asking

[@terryanne2428]

thats really nicely made! im always losing my phone

[@SewVeryEasy]

+terry anne Good for phones and glasses! thanks for watching

[@tadeyishu]

I have something like this on the couch why have i never thought to make one for the bed! differently going to need big one, then i can get rid of bed side table...

[@ellegroover]

Hey Laura! I am about to finish my first quilt and realized something. My machine sits on an existing table in my sewing room. How do I find a table for my sewing machine to fit in for quilting my quilts? It needs to be flush but I don't know where to begin to find one. Also, what about long arm machines? Is it easy to find a used one perhaps cuz brand new ones are way too expensive for me, since quilting is a hobby. Any help? Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

I'm still looking into long-arms but see if you can built a flat area with boxes and a lot of tape around your machine

[@mariaginaumali3804]

Hello I like that bedside caddy

[@lindacarter1585]

Dimensions of larger caddy please

[@clairmumto5andnanto112]

fab idea will have ago this weekend xxx

[@SewVeryEasy]

have fun and let me know how it went:)

[@elisadalrymple7758]

Is this method strong enough for a water bottle?

[@SewVeryEasy]

I think it would be:)

[@mariaginaumali3804]

Can I ask for the exact measurement of the small and the large bedside caddy

[@SewVeryEasy]

I'm not sure, I just made it as I went along :)

[@mariaginaumali3804]

What is the size of your bed

[@Lixx34899]

Do I sew with a straight stitch or zig zag?

[@SewVeryEasy]

+linda hatcher with a straight stitch, thanks for asking

[@Janetl62]

Great project!!! :)

[@barbarabarger9938]

Super help!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks:)

[@fullasisters-1687]

Thank you

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Fulla Sister Thanks for watching

[@darlenelahaise2696]

I'm afraid the fabric will slide out from under the bed with the weight. Any suggestions on how to prevent this?

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Darlene LaHaise you could make the piece that goes under the mattress longer/bigger or put a piece of Velcro along the edge that goes under the mattress. Hope this helps:)

[@7459serenity]

SewVeryEasy SewVeryEasy. Thanks for the video. I made this and I too had an issue with it slipping all the time. To help with it sliding out from the weight of my item. I sewed that rubber shelf liner you buy at the dollar store (or any big box store.) as that makes an excellent none slip backing for that and a lot of other projects too. Mine was 30 inches long so I cut a 30x the 10 inches that was sandwiched between my mattress. Now it NEVER slips. I made a pincushion with a thread catcher attached and it too always fell off the table. That's where I got the idea for the bedside organizer. I have learned a lot from you and for that I say God bless you and thanks for sharing your gift with us.

[@angelaharding1197]

boy do i need this but can you please tell me what's the name of the fabric you used

[@SewVeryEasy]

I' m sorry but I don't know the name of the fabric, it just was something I had leftover. But thanks for watching
