Tips From My Sewing Room

I have been doing more crafting lately than I have writing. I'm feeling a little disheveled. I like to have a neatly organized sewing room to enjoy my quiet time. I would like to share some of my organizing tips I use to keep my crafting space my "happy" place.  They are very simple tips!!
I feel like maximizing the upper space in a room is important.
I am using a magnetic bowl to hold my straight pins to my ironing board. They are in easy reach and I don't have to keep moving them.
 


Keeping all my cutting tools and rulers together in a dedicated cutting area. 
Even in my small room (8ftx6ft) I can designate area for each task.


Bins bins and more bins! 
These definitely come in handy, and even more so when they have labels.
I'm storing ribbon in here for now but hope to change this soon.
 I would like to be able to see my ribbons.



A large ruler is needed a lot in my crafts so I tapped the very long fabric ruler to my desk for easy measuring.

Like I said before..... Bins bins and more bins. 
Upcycling some soup bowls from Chick Fil A into storage for smaller accessories. The lids snap on snugly so even little pins have a hard time falling out. it is no surprise I love Chick Fil A, They value the environment and recycling like I do! Since I am a dedicated chick fil a mom, I was challenged to use these containers... I guess I showed them! 

Again, everything has its place. Basic desk accessories together in a handy can. 
I hope you found my tips handy. It is as simple as finding what works best for you!
