I got this idea from my sister, Stacy, who told me she got the idea from my upline, Lori.
I made 6 of these for a Holiday Boutique this month. (I'm keeping the one my sister made me for my own Christmas Shopping!)
I ran out of long envelopes, so I had to substitute a homemade envelope in two of the organizers.
Thanks for looking!
Since I've had so many requests for the directions, (and I sometimes lose track of who I've sent them to) I've decided to add them here. Let me know if you have any questions!
These are actually very easy to make, so we'll see how well I remember the size of the pattern papers!
Take a 12x12 piece of vanilla CS and score it to make three 4" sections. Score the bottom at 3" and fold up. Now fold the sides. (I folded the right side in and the left side is on top.)
Take 3 1/2" x 6" pieces of Red, Olive and River Rock and glue in the inside flaps. (Make sure the bottom piece will fold over and cover the bottom!)
For the pattern pieces inside, I believe they were 3 3/4" x 2 3/4". I used sticky strip on the outside of the pockets and then a little mono in the crease to form the three pockets.
I inserted a small long envelope in the middle for receipts. I made a Christmas List and Notes page on my printer and cut them down to about 3x8.
For the cover. The top piece was 3 1/2 x 4 and the bottom was 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. I used about a 24" piece of ribbon to tie around the booklet to keep it shut. My sister used the multi word saying from Season of Joy on her cover, but since I couldn't find mine, I just used a stamp from Perfect Presentations and layered it with punched CS. (I don't know how I survived without punches!)
Hope these direction make sense! Have fun making these!

These are very nice and seem to be a bit better size than the folders I have used. Is it possible to get a template for this organizer, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

I think you have done a fantastic job with this. Would love to make a few for my quilting group...could you tell me how you accomplished this. Thanks,
