An excellent storage method is more than simply placing all of your sewing supplies off. It'll make it simpler and faster to locate your equipment and shield them from harm.

It will let you use all of the space in your own room efficiently. There are a Whole Lot of options to Pick from, shelves, baskets, bins and more to assist you store your own supplies,

Therefore it can be tough to select which ones will work for you. Below are a few hints about the best way best to make an effective storage platform is effective for you.

    1. Use all the space available to you, both horizontal and vertical, so that even small spaces will be useful. Take advantage of vertical space by hanging items on a pegboard (a board that has holes where hooks can go in) attached to the wall. The holes make it easy to move your hooks around. Hang smaller supplies, such as scissors, rulers, cutters, spools of thread, etc from the hooks.
    2. Use rolling storage bins. When they are not in use, they can be rolled under a table where they are out of the way. Not only are you using the space effectively, but it looks neater too!
    3. Make it easy to find your supplies. Use bins that are see-through so that you can see what is in each drawer at a glance. Layer fabrics so that you can see the colour of each fabric by just looking at them without having to touch the fabric.
    4. Place infrequently used items at the bottom and top of shelves or closets that are harder to reach. This allows you to use all your space and since you don’t have to get those supplies often, you won’t mind having to pull out a chair or stool once in a while to get to them.
    5. Place frequently used items in places that are easy to get to. This means that you will use those supplies and put them away when you aren’t using them. If a system is easy to use, you are more likely to keep using it.
    6. Find items that will help to protect your supplies. For example, drape a clear plastic sheet over thread racks to keep the dust off the thread, while still allowing you to see what thread colours you have.
    7. Use a folding table for pinning and cutting. Fold the sides of the table out when you need the space for cutting, and fold the sides in when the table is not is use so that your room won’t feel cramped.
    8. Think outside the box and don’t dismiss an item just because you think it can only be used for something else. For example, use a clear plastic shoe organizer that can be hung on the wall to hold smaller supplies, such as ribbons and buttons. The shoe organizer is great because it has individual pockets to store items in. Plus, it is clear so that you can see what supplies are in what pocket without having to open each pocket.
    9. Have rooms with multiple purposes. For example, use a guest bedroom as a craft room. When the guests come, put all the supplies away in the closet, shelves and drawers. Or, if you are using part of a living room as a craft room, use dividers to help hide the clutter. The more uses a room has, the more that room will be used.
    10. Have a place for each item and always put it away once you are done working with it. If you know where each item is, then you will spend less time looking and more time sewing. As well, don’t let things build up. Otherwise your sewing room will become very messy and cluttered. Eventually, you will start to avoid the room because you are overwhelmed and can’t deal with the mess. So, avoid this potential stress by always keeping everything in its place.
