Even though I have not been doing much sewing or quilting lately, there are things going on in the sewing room.
I save lots of scraps, and they end up being deposited into a basket here, or there.
One day I said, "Enough!!" I had purposed to head down to IKEA and buy
one of those cute turquoise rolling bins. But as I never made it down
there, I ended up buying this.
It works great to stash the scraps and charm packs. And it was a fraction of the cost :-)
Then there was the closet, which was totally unorganized.
(this is only the bottom shelf, as I already started reorganizing the upper shelves)
A few years ago, Karen at Sew Many Ways shared a post about organizing her Kitchen Cupboards. She used Fabric boxes to hold all sorts of things. And the great thing is......... they were only $1.00!! So I headed out to my Dollar Tree to see if they carried these boxes. I found a large selection of the larger 11 x11" size.
So here is how the closet looks now.

I may go back and see if they have the smaller boxes to fit the space in between.
Yep, much better!

I like your information on fabric boxes! They look quite dashing on your shelves. I have lots of scraps too. I keep on wanting to set aside a definite time each week to concentrate on sorting and cutting scraps. Hasn't happened yet, but a girl can hope, can't she?
I need you at my house, but, you'd probably run, screaming, once you saw my sewing room and closet.
Looks a lot better. My friend made coloured scrap boxes out of her scraps. Any storage is better than stuffed on the shelf. Good work.
Great ideas for storage. Well done on your aim to get organised.
