How to Organize Sewing Supplies in Cute & Sensible Ways
Magazine Holder
You can use a magazine holder to organize your binder of sewing patterns and books. This is also a great place to organize fusible interfacing in containers and scraps of fabric wrapped around cardboard. The magazine holders create a perfect nook for keeping things organized on your bookshelf.
File Organizer
Whether you use a file cabinet or an accordion file organizer, your patterns and other loose materials fit well into slots. You can add your patterns to a large envelope and file them in, or you could create a slot for each pattern with a label. Regardless, the patterns stay out of sight and secure.
Pegboard With Hooks and Cups
Pegboards can be your best friend if you are short on space in your sewing area. These boards have multiple functions and various purposes. You can hang large mats and tools off hooks and organize your ribbons, thread, and cutters. Hanging cups off the pegboard give you an area for your tape measures, pencils, Velcro, and other tools.
Easy Tips for Organizing Small Tools and Thread
Small tools can be a bit harder to keep organized. It can be easier to use containers for organization. Clear containers can be the best so you can see the small tools within.
Magnetic Tape to Hold Everything in Place
Needles and stitch rippers can be hard to keep track of sometimes. Add some magnetic tape to the bottom of a plastic container or a drawer. With a bit of magnetic tape, you can keep your metal needles and tools in order.
Clear Cookie Jars for Organization
When you have a lot of loose tools around your cutting area, using clear cookie jars can help keep everything organized and together. Label each cookie jar for the specific tool (i.e., scissors, pencils, etc.), and you can put them back after use. This works to keep them organized but handy.
Mason Jar Shelf for Accessories
When it comes to storing buttons, ribbons, and other sewing accessories, mason jar organizers can be essential. You can put this organizer on the wall, and you can stack them. This allows them to go up the wall and take up wall space.
Tips for Organizing Sewing Supplies
Getting all the little supplies you need for sewing in one place can be hard. But all you need to do is use some clever hacks to be an organization goddess.
Store small supplies in small easy to find containers.
Label everything, so it's easy to find what you need.
Use the wall space to your advantage, especially if you don't have a dedicated sewing or craft room.
Sort fabrics and thread by color.
Use high shelves for bulk items.
Store the materials you use daily in easy-to-access drawers.
Store things you use less like manuals in low drawers.
Use drawer dividers to give everything its own space.
Use hooks on pegboards to keep your mats and scissors in place.
Mobile rolling carts can help make quick alterations.
