Burda Style For people who sew

Take the measurement over the back-rest (green) or armrest (red), INCLUDING the parts where you can reach between the cushions (dashed lines). Measure to the point where you want the upper edge of the upmost pocket of your organiser to be (blue line). [90 cm]
Keep in mind that you want to reach it easily, but that you don’t want the remotes to be seen from the front.
To this measurement, add the following to see how much fabric you’ll need:
- hem to slide in a dowel rod [7 cm]
- depth of pocket [16 cm]
- 1/2 depth of second, overlapping pocket [8 cm]
- lower seam allowance [1 cm]
- 2 x depth of pocket PLUS seam-/hem allowances [36 cm]

The WIDTH of your organizer depends on your need. Don’t forget to add hem allowances to both sides of your width-measurement!

I was lucky to have some ready-hemmed fabric handy. Some of you may notice that it’s from a swedish furniture company… It’s sturdy, looks nice and had just the perfect width [44 cm] and length [~ 160 cm] for my projekt, so I used it.
