Pieces bigger than a sleeve I store wrapped on boards on my shelf. This bin is an example of how I store scrap fabric – pieces that are big enough to make a pocket but no bigger than a sleeve. I also moved my ribbons, lace and bias tape out here.Īfter going through my books and patterns and putting the ones I decided to keep back on their shelves (more on pattern storage next week) I tackled my fabric. This table is currently out on our landing outside my sewing room, so I’m going to have to figure out how to put it in my new sewing space because it’s perfect for notion storage. I took my elastic out of the drawer where I had to dig through it and made use of one of my card catalogue tables to store it in a way that I can see all my elastic when I open the drawer. Yes, the button box is below things here, but it’s partially visible and once I get those two tiny empty boxes out of the drawer, everything in here will be visible. Going through all my notions allowed me to put them back in a way that made them easier to see within their drawers and bins. So as you declutter, look for items you can repurpose to help you organize and store things. I was also pleasantly surprised that when I did things like combine boxes of thread, I ended up with an empty box which was perfect for storing buttons that were in a bag in my closet. I was surprised how many duplicate notions I found, and also how much trash (like empty elastic wrappers) I found when I took all my notions out. Because I was tidying from least to most sentimental value, I started with notions and ended with fabric, which is the category in my sewing room I feel the most attached to.
