Mug Organizer- Standard Mug Directions

    The Mug Organizer has been very popular.  There was a question about the measurements in the example I gave.  Turns out the example needed to be corrected, while yet the dimensions in the picture were correct. That information on that post has now been updated.
     Recently, I made another mug organizer and realized, as did a reader, that apparently there is a standard size for mugs.  So I thought I'd give the standard measurements here so there is no calculating involving or trying to understand my calculations.
      This post also includes yardage instructions.

*************************

This project is great for scraps as you see I have done.  Only 5 pieces needed.

 

 Your quick reference guide.

In original directions it said to fold the pieces in half 3 times which would divide the pieces into 4 sections.
Not true.  It will be 8 sections.   However, you can change pocket sizes if needed, but be aware the pockets shouldn't be so wide they will gap open.

Since I didn't have a selvage edge for the ties like I did with the original Mug Organizer, I did a double fold.  The edge stitching foot was really helpful.

After you have cut the ties piece into 4 equal sections, this would be the placement for the standard mug.
                  *1 inch from bottom and
                  *Just above the outside pocket

 **************

Now let's get even a bit more simple with the cutting.
My friend found out the "outside pocket" unit can be used for the inside.
If you have yardage, this could be a quick simple cut.
You need 29 inches of yardage.  Sorry it can't be 3/4 of a yard.

 

Save the extra 1 inch piece for a tie for another mug organizer.

Also, save the 11" piece of folded fabric for another mug organizer.  It should be 8½" long.

The inside pockets work out just fine.

Still room in the very center for your pencil trimmer.

The following were shots sent to me by my new friend that
gave the tip to use the same pocket unit for the inside.
She also had the great idea to make the organizer a bit reversible
by using a different fabric for the other pocket unit.
Love the blue and yellow together.

Reversible!

 Thank-you Sandy!

Can you name someone who could not use one of these in some way?

Desk, sewing, school, carpenter bench, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom...........

Remember if you have a different size mug, or another container use the generic measurements on the

Original Post.

Go find those mugs you don't use anymore, or even consider using a tin can.  

Have fun using those scraps.
