I need to get rid of that yucky image, so here's a photo of the car organizer I sewed a few months ago to help Linda test out her pattern. Using heavy stabilizer, it's essentially a 12" wide x 10" high x 8" deep box with pockets for pens, a charging cell phone, magazines and/or coupons, and two sections so that the garbage is separated from the Kleenex and wet wipes.
Mine looks a little floppy and wrinkled here, I have no idea why. It's not like that in real life. Loops of ribbon are sewn to two D-rings, and that's where you tuck in the handles of one of those ubiquitous plastic grocery bags, which becomes your trash bag, held nicely in place. My car organizer is very hard working and keeps the minivan neat and relatively tidy, which is, sadly, much more than I can say for my home.
It looks great and very useful, but where do you put it?

What a clever and useful contraption! Oh how my car could use one of these! You did a great job!

That is one big scary spider. We don't mess with spiders around here. My hubby ended up in the hospital for a week after a spider bite. Don't recognize this one.

You're so funny. Your box is great. We definitely need something like that in our car!
