 each of the pockets further comprises a panel of substantially flexible material having a closed bottom portion thereof secured between the first face of the backing structure and a strip of the substantially non-stretchable fabric material, a open top lip portion thereof bounded by an edging of the substantially non-stretchable fabric material, and spaced apart opposing side portions thereof secured between the first face of the backing structure and the edging of substantially non-stretchable fabric material substantially bounding the backing structure. 
   
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 12  wherein the peripheral edge portion of the first surface of the fabric backing structure is further substantially bounded by the edging of substantially non-stretchable fabric material, and an opposing second surface of the backing structure opposite from the first surface thereof is additionally bounded by the edging of substantially non-stretchable fabric material. 
   
   
       14 . The device of  claim 13  wherein the edging of substantially non-stretchable fabric material substantially bounding the second surface of the backing structure is further integral with the edging of substantially non-stretchable fabric material substantially bounding the first surface thereof. 
   
   
       15 . The device of  claim 13  wherein the backing structure further comprises a single ply of the flexible and substantially non-stretchable fabric.

   b) into each of a plurality of the one or more individual fabric loops of a first one of the plurality of hangers, inserting a tool having a relatively elongated neck portion sized to be received there through and a relatively enlarged handle portion sized to interfere therewith;   c) into at least one of the one or more individual fabric loops of a second one of the plurality of hangers, inserting a tool having a relatively foreshortened nose portion sized to be received there through and a relatively enlarged handle portion sized to interfere therewith; and   d) into at least one of the plurality pockets, inserting through the open top lip portion thereof a tool substantially devoid of one of: a portion sized to be received through one of the one or more individual fabric loops of one of the plurality of hangers, and a relatively enlarged handle portion sized to interfere therewith.   
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17  wherein suspending a lengthwise extended tool organizer device hanging substantially vertically relative to the a substantially vertical hanging surface by means of a single suspender element further comprises suspending the organizer device by a relatively rigid prong projected through an aperture formed through the upper end portion of the backing structure and a reinforcement ring coupled thereto. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising into a third one of the plurality of hangers having a single one of the individual fabric, inserting a hammer having a relatively elongated handle portion sized to be received there through and a relatively enlarged and foreshortened head portion sized to interfere therewith. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 17  wherein into at least one of the plurality pockets, inserting through the open top lip portion thereof a tool further comprises:
 inserting the tool between the front face of the backing structure and a reinforcing strip of substantially non-stretchable fabric edging material whereof the open top lip portion thereof is bounded; and   containing the tool by means of the closed bottom portion with an other reinforcing strip of substantially non-stretchable fabric material whereof the closed bottom portion is secured against the front face of the backing structure.
