Sewing Notions and Fabric


Just thought I'd snap a photo of the old apple crates I have stacked against the large window in my bedroom(at the foot of my bed). They work so perfect for storing my sewing supplies that I need within an arms reach. I have Rubbermaid containers of fabric as well but these hold my "special" fabrics. The ones that I fight myself to have to cut into. I have mason jars full of buttons, rusty pieces, vintage hankies. That blue box you can see on the shelf hold all my patterns that I own. I should take a sideways pic of that to really give you a look at my addiction! haha

Where do you store your sewing notions, fabric and patterns?

Lovely blog. Do you really live where you picture "Clouds" was taken? Wow.

I see your primitive crow is sold as a pattern. Do you also sell it as a completed work?

I don't cook, and I don't sew. But I love good food, and I love lovely fabric made things!

Nice blog - I just found it. I love the apple crate idea! There's an apple farm nearby - going to see if they will part with a few crates.

My oh my, you are so organized. Good for you. I need more room so I can organize better. My studio is in an attic so I have a lot of slanted walls and low ceilings. I want your sewing machine too. I know you aren't suppose to covet your neighbors belongings but it looks like a great one.
Love your blog and I will be back
