Organizing organizers

When I was in college, I spent my summer and winter vacations sewing for a company that made ladies fashion tee shirts.  It is there that I learned the value of sewing in an assembly line.   Tee shirts would arrive from the cutters in big bundles.  Sewers in the back row would start by binding the neck edges then passing the bundle on to sewers in the row ahead who would bind the sleeves.  Other sewers would sew in the sleeves and yet others would sew  the side seams and  finally the bundle would make it to the hemmers.  The goal, of course, was to move as many bundles from the back to the front of the room by day's end.

I use this assembly line method when making quilt blocks and I am currently using it to make organizers.  I received several orders recently and decided I could sew more efficiently this way as opposed to making them one at a time.

I cut out all the fabrics for the organizers and bundled them.  I also cut all the fleece and interfacing that I would need.

Here are the covers with fleece ironed on and ready to quilt.

And the lining and pockets with interfacing ironed into place.

Now I can start sewing by color--all the ones that can be sewed with red thread, for example, then with blue and so on.

OK, now onto sewing!  Talk at you later!
