Fantastic Ways to Organize Your Sewing Stuff

If you sew, you know that pins, fabrics, trims and threads quickly overwhelm any size sewing room.
Lisa Carroccio’s Sewing Room Organization Challenge is filled with an obsessive number of clever ways to conquer clutter.
I wouldn’t have thought to use a wine rack for stabilizers, or a CD rack to hold spools of ribbon, but wow – they work great!
These pictures are just two of the clever ways Lisa suggests for keeping ribbons neat! (The one on the left is a paper towel holder!)
Despite all the great ideas, the bottom line is: the less you have, the less there is to organize.
Here’s Lisa’s uncluttering advice about sewing supplies:
KEEP – Only keep those which you LOVE or will use within the next 2 years.
DONATE – Although you may LIKE these, you’ll never use them. Give them to a friend or charitable group who will. Let’s face it, you are never going to use that 99 cent red foil Christmas trim you purchased from the Joann’s clearance bin 7 years ago!
TRASH – Stained or damaged items which nobody wants.
Throw out that water-stained satin ribbon!
