Re: Organize your sewing space!
Here I am! Lol That hose idea is really good! I'm going to visit the hardware store and look for clear tubing, like she suggssted. Much prettier, and my garden hoses are all in use!

I was looking around on that site and look what I found. She uses it for jewelry, but it is perfect for ribbon, and toss buttons in the bottom. I havd way too many buttons! Its juzt a shoebox and pencils to make the organizer, and you could tailor it to what size ribbon you have

Re: Organize your sewing space!
I used to sew back in the day...even did my own stitches one time on my hand...my advice is to keep a magnet around the machine for collection of little spears.

Re: Organize your sewing space!
I love your bobbin holder. What a great idea! I am going to try this right away. How do you manage your spools of thread? I tried stringing them on chopsticks and that sort of helped, but mostly they are wild in the bin.

Actually, I just posted this article, I don't have a good solution for spools either, except those peg things. I have a lot of spools in a couple of those clear plastic parts boxes with the moveable partitions, and that is the best I have come up with. They are a lot cheaper at the hardware store than the sewing store.
