Tuesday Project Roundup: New(ly Organized) Car

Posted on by Karen

I took my car in for its 60,000 mile service last week and, inspired by how nice Doc’s new car is, decided it was time to clean some things up. Such as the situation in the back hatch:

The back of a car with trekking poles, camp chairs, and a bin messily strewn around.
Chaotic! Dirty! I hate it!

 

I sewed the stuff sacks for our poles I was talking about and got some cargo nets (OEM for the rear seat one, generic for the sides) and just LOOK AT IT:

The back of the same car, with all the clutter contained in a long cargo net across the rear seats.
Organized! Tidy! I love it!

 

The stuff sacks took about 30 minutes each and the measurements in the pattern generator worked perfectly:
Two stuff sacks for trekking poles. One is camo print and one is tan with an orange cord lock.

 

I even got a headlamp pouch sewn up and my center console (where it lives) organized, too. (Did you know they make organizing trays for the center console?! And silly little cup liner inserts with orange trim to match the stitching in your car?!)
