That is genius, Moriah. My sorting method is piles on the laundry room floor. I think I need one of these…but of course the store version won’t work now…I need the custom variety.

Maybe I have been living in a hole, but I have never seen one of those sorter thingies. But now my I have GOT to get one. :) It looks like a great replacement for the stacks of laundry baskets I have in my garage, which always have half of one load and half of another in them. Do you remember where you got yours? It looks like a good size for the space I’m thinking of.

Amazing Moriah! I am super impressed you did this with no pattern. I mean it seems to be fairly easy construction being basically a box but with the dividers and ties it would complicate it some. Nice job!

Hey that is really cool. Too bad you can’t sell those.

Janel- I absolutely have a hamper in every room. I use the sorter when I dump the hampers out (try to do that daily, but doesn’t happen). It sort of pools the laundry into categories, from the various rooms.

Oh, I am totally in awe of your mad sewing skills!
What an awesome way to reuse and recycle what you already had!

I’ve always heard the sorter is a good idea. I would just need one in each kids room and my bedroom. If I don’t have a hamper almost immediately where my family drop their drawers, they don’t seem to get in any hamper and THAT really drives me.

Go girl! You’re amazing :) That looks SO useful and well-made. Now, can you discuss that funny round thing hanging above it in the laundry room? Never seen one of those.

Wow. Usually I get as far as the idea, purchasing fabric and cutting out some parts. I am so impressed with someone who FINISHES the job and it works. Looks great and now I have to get off-line and go finish a project. You’ve motivated me. :)

I do not see this as a “little thing”!!!

Wow, I’m so impressed. I can sew but my mind has a hard time figuring out the logistics of making something with no pattern….it probably would have taken me a week to do! I agree that little organizational fixes like this around the house make a world of difference.
