One of my projects this winter was to organize, and cull where appropriate, all my sewing supplies. Everything is the basement and I would head down there for an hour or two at a time. Lots of patterns, material, and magazines are headed to our garage sale this spring. The rest was sorted, boxed, and labeled. Well, everything except for the thread. That was a big mess.
I needed a way to get at least some organization to it all. We had a bunch of containers that the Hairy Beast's treats came in. I cleaned them out, removed the labels, and covered them with some appropriate fabric - spools of thread.
Six tubs containing thread sorted by color now sit on the new-to-me heavy duty wire shelves I snagged from work. We're closing down part of the office and the shelves were either going to be thrown out or given away. So who better to give them to than me?
To have a little fun I made one of the cloth baskets from Faith and Fabric to hold the soon to be sorted jars of buttons. And, yes, those are buttons on that lining material.
I've been doing the Happy Dance now that this project is almost done. Am I the only one that finds neat and organized to be calm and peaceful?

I really admire your sewing talent! What a cute basket. And yes, I crave organization too. An orderly space is good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteI am kind of an organizing and planning freak so I love that you are almost done with this project! Go you!
ReplyDeleteI have not always thought about myself as the neat and tidy sort, but I'm with you! Clean and organized is so relaxing!
