Going vertical is a great way to clear clutter off your desk or  counters.  If you have a little bit of wall space this burlap and fabric wall organizer is a great way to tidy up bills, kids school forms, or your business papers.  It is a rather simple and straight forward sewing project-you only need to be able to sew a straight line to put this together. Burlap is a pretty textured fabric that goes well with just about any home decor or design, simply choose a duck cloth fabric that coordinates with your home to make this piece that is functional as well as decorative, a great addition to your home office or in the kitchen to hold recipes.

Center your seamed duck cloth so that the bottom is 1″ from the bottom of burlap- and sew around sides, and bottom-forming a pocket. Repeat with the second piece, sewing it 1″ from top edge of burlap.

Slide dowel rod into the bottom seam, sew up ends to keep it in place.  Tape ribbon to the end of second dowel rod and slide it all the way through and out the other side.  Remove tape, center ribbon and tie into a knot. Slide dowel rod back into center of seam.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
