    I mentioned doing this on another thread and so many of you sounded interested to see it. So I hung it up and got pictures. The pockets didn't go on straight because they moved no matter how many pins went in.

    The back is felt so I can always turn it around to use as a mini design wall. The loops are made of 2 belt loops sewn together and the scissor thing is from the loop on carpenters jeans (I don't know what it's called). I also pulled the leather tags off the back of jeans to add.

    All in all, I'm happy with how it turned out as I pulled from my special stash for the background fabric and the finished size is 23 by 34.

    the scissor loop, also not straight.

    I like your wallhanging. So useful. I need to do that as I can never find where I put things when I need them.

    I really like your idea. I am thinking about making some for my grandchildren for Christmas and then filling the pockets with goodies!

    great idea, keeps the number of jars off of my sewing table stuffed with all kinds of handy tools - although you can't take something out without several more items following them
