Fabric Room Organizing Tips & Tricks!

[@tamipugh3377]

I keep a small needle book, my thimble, a small pair of scissors, needle threader and thread in an eyeglass case. The hard sides protect from sharp pointed scissors having me. The needles and pins can’t poke me and it is compact.

[@lynnelawrence7991]

After my children grew up and moved out, and them my husband died, I had the freedom to create a dedicated sewing room. Then the "extra" bedrooms became storage areas for fabric. If I ever build a custom house, I'll start by planning the very large sewing area so everything can be in one space :).

[@jankalonick4771]

I have two ways that I store my rulers. One - I have a peg board that my husband hung for me and then I purchased the hooks and hung all my special rulers and templates I hang they there. Then My door to my sewing room opens into the room. Behind the door I have hung all of my Quilters Select rulers with the front side against the wall. I have jars that I place my thread into and all of my needles and pins are in a Tennessee shaped basket, where I grew up, all of them are placed in there top up so that they are easily found. I have two shelves that some of my fabric placed on there and then any other fabric is placed in baskets! I am color blind and when my daughter comes home, they live about 3 hours away, she will place all of my fabrics according to colors/hues and labels my shelves. Makes life so very easy!!

[@glendarodriguez901]

One thing I do with all of my quilt books, if I take them to my local office supply and have them put the spiral binding on them. Then they will lay flat, you’re not fighting with a book to stay open. And a bonus they put clear protective covers on both the front and the back. Very inexpensive way to save your Quilt books

[@carlindadaigle8666]

What a great idea! Thank you Glenda for sharing.

[@cherylwilliams42]

What a fantastic idea. Thank you. Do you edit any, as in remove advertisement pages or keep it all in tact?

[@glendarodriguez901]

@@cherylwilliams42 I only bind my quilt book, I don’t bind magazines, but I absolutely love the books bound, it makes them so much easier to read and I’m not constantly trying to keep it open. I highly recommend doing it! Happy sewing 🧵

Great idea!!! Love it!! I am going to do this!

[@sharonsimons1471]

@@carlindadaigle8666Wow! What a great idea! Never knew this option existed (and I am a 35+ year quilter) thanks so much for sharing.

Medicine bottles are also great for discarding used needles, they are ample at out home. 😊😊. Donna, your sew box is so pretty. The little imperfections are battle scars from many years of lovingly sewing.

[@roseparr7919]

You can use an empty medicine bottle to store used or broken needles and pins. I drill a hole in the cap to put them in. When it is full I either put tape on the hole or put some hot glue to close it up.

[@tattooedmomma]

The large medicine bottles are perfect for rotary blades.

[@barbarah5742]

Empty dental floss container works well for pins/needles. Close top when full. I recycle rotary blades for paperwork. So many good ideas here...

[@cynthiafedak9791]

You girls are a breath of fresh air, I love the Fabric Cafe videos. Thanks for all of the great hints! I use my empty pill containers with lids to store my old sewing needles, and bent straight pins. I too store my patterns in three ring binders. I used to store them folded in a box, but it ended up that the patterns would get torn eventually and digging through them was no picnic. I do love the idea of rolling the 3 yard quilt fabrics together. Not only do they look great like that, but they would make great gifts for sewing friends. Maybe add a ribbon or so.

[@renereinhardt2643]

I enjoyed your video. I already do that and will go right to my sewing room and do some more organizing. I have nine three yard quilts sorted and planned. I like the basket idea.

[@eleanorwittering3126]

I am so impressed with your quilting *methods, practices and philosophy,* and, now, even methods of storage and organizing one's quilting world…: because quilting can become one’s world (outside of family and my law practice, part time now)! I’m going to revamp my whole quilting world according to your Quilting Methods, Practices and *Tenets!* It's obvious a lot of thought and hard work have gone into the quilting processes you have created and engineered. It works and it makes so much sense! (I’m already visualizing the transformation of my quilting world in my brain/head. I can’t do it all at once, I will do one shelf at a time… And eventually, it will be organized and beautiful like your quilting studio! My quilting studio is every part of my home save the master bedroom, bathrooms and kitchen! And, that's *how it is!,* friends and family just have to *accept it!* I came by it rather late in life--and, I won't apologize that it so comsumes me. Now, with your suggestions, I can *tame it,* but still have it!) Thank you!

[@eleanorwittering3126]

I mean, if one's serious about quilting, may as well be serious about organization!

[@amyalton-stonebrook4968]

My cutting table is a basic 6 foot folding table. We cut pieces of PVC pipe and slipped over the legs to elevate the table to a comfortable height for working at while standing up. If the table is needed at regular height, the PVC can easily be removed and replaced to return to the work height.

[@tiraorr8914]

I found that the foam boards you get at the dollar store work great too. I cut my foam boards 6" x 10" and can usually get about 6 out of 1 foam board. The extra pieces are great for separating small notions like buttons and zippers in shoe boxes.

[@kimwilliamscarmer518]

I love that you stated you don’t want to have to think, you just want to go sew! I am exactly that way❣️ Love all your organizing ideas❣️

Sewing machine needles are great for a substitute for nails for hanging pictures. The point goes in the wall easily and doesn’t leave a big hole in the wall.

[@kerrycroom7459]

Yes, been using sewing machine needles as picture hangers for years, they are perfect!

[@danatisdale9473]

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea! And I have pictures to hang!!!

[@phyllissage5117]

I put a sticky note on my folded fabric with the width and length of the fabric piece. It saves a lot of time to not have to measure the piece of fabric each time you look at it.

[@karenr.sternberg1920]

I do that on yardages on coat hangers into the closet. I also make a little Post It Note w/dimensions on a WIP once I've finished piecing the top. Saves that time from repeated measuring!!!

[@DH-qz2so]

I have a clear pocketed fabric Shoe Rack Organizer hanging on the back of my sewing room door... is great for hard to store items (ie. spray starch, glues, lint roller, mini iron, small templates...)

[@karen0961]

I use an empty prescription bottle for my dull and bent pins and needles. I repurposed a plastic gum container to put my basting pins in. I use an empty rotary blade container marked with an X to put dull rotary blades in. I use a craft container with empty bins inside to lay my threads in. 1 container for 100% cotton, and 1 container for polyester blend. I can easily see the colors versus them standing up and me pulling each one out to see the color. I use an empty decorative tissue box for my strings and dog ears and such then just toss in the trash and get another one. I keep my selvage strips and any other long strips for ribbons and ties. I also use a binder with protective sleeves for patterns. And a cute little pink makeup box for my sewing box.

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

Dry erase markers for notes on the sheet protectors

[@karenostrander1539]

I am so fortunate to have acquire several beautiful antique spool cabinets that were once used in general stores. From the two drawer countertop size to the full on floor pieces with many drawers and glass fronts, they are wonderful for storing almost every kind of sewing notion. There are even shelves in the center where I can put cones of thread. Bless my mother in law for having a love of these during the days when she ran an antique business.

Love your organizational tips! I consider myself an organizer, in fact it is one of my favorite things to do. Great ideas ladies! 2:56

[@marygratz4135]

About 20 years ago I bought 1 roll of a thick, clear plastic "tape" that sticks to itself (no adhesive). FOR THREAD - Among many other uses, I cut small "tape" strips & use these to quickly wrap around spools of thread and bobbins to prevent unraveling. Because the tape is clear, I can still see the exact color of thread. I store my thread in clear plastic containers meant for matchbox cars (compartments for 48 cars, box is 10" x 13" x 3.5", once $5 & now $50+ at Walmart, but Amazon has one for $30), The boxes have handles & have hinged lids on the 2 flat sides to access the compartments; each compartment will hold 2 small spools of sewing thread, or 1 regular + 1 small, or 1 larger spool, like specialty threads, & probably 3-4 thin spools like Gutermann. I have 2 of these boxes in a 7" deep drawer. I love that my thread spools are stored sideways, so I can see thread colors through the lid (grouped by color), the thread never gets dusty, plus grab & go convenience. The "adhesive" strips also cling to the inside of the container covers, so I keep extras there, cut and ready. The tape comes in various widths. I have used it to hold fabric/batting rolls together, hold bins shut, etc and I still have a lot left. (It's reusable, so I may never run out!) I once had to transport several hundred mini cream puffs cross-country, and kept them safe in an "under-bed" plastic storage box held shut by this tape! Here's a link to something that looks like the same stuff - "Hugo's Amazing Tape". www.amazon.com/Amazing-Wrap-Non-Adhesive-Reusable-Meters/dp/B07DRX1C2P toy car boxes - on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B09MQDSS1F/ref=twister_B09MQDDF3Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas Mary! Love the slotted container use for the thread. That's awesome.

[@dianagrant9479]

I'm lucky to have a dedicated sewing room. My son came home from recent travels and offered to redo my sewing room. After the last child left I never bothered to change the paint on the walls or remove the graffiti. Now I have a fresh coat of paint on ceiling and walls. He's going to give my cutting table a make over and add shelves. My fabric had been organized by yardage style... fat 1/4ths, 1/8ths, 1/2 yards etc. Now all I need to do is get my UFOs off the design wall and completed. I may even be getting a custom sewing table and golden triangle. I can't wait. Will send pics when done.

[@FabricCafe]

Wow!

[@jankalonick4771]

I wrote below a year ago. Right now I am moving my sewing room from a small room now to my sunroom! Three sides of windows and all my fabric are in bookshelves placed against the brick wall and I now have a TV to watch all of my sewing videos while I am making that quilt!!

[@FabricCafe]

That sounds wonderful!! How exciting. I hope you enjoy your new space and now you can watch all the quilting videos you like!

[@kerrywalker3005]

My bedroom is also my sewing room. I have a sewing machine table that has a work space to the left of the machine with one drawer and one cubby underneath that space (looks like a small desk). I put Command hooks along the top of one side and the back of the table (the right side of the table is against a wall, so I have access to three sides), and that's where I hang my rulers. They are out of the way and handy to grab (got this idea from a quilting magazine.) I also use ponytail holders around my filled bobbins, and empty prescription pill bottles are great for storing dull needles. Thanks for a GREAT video!

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Thank you for telling me how to use the thread conditioner. I didn't realise we were meant to put the lid on before we pull the thread through😃

Very helpful today, ladies! I'm very fortunate to have an extra bedroom and instead of a big bed, dresser, night tables, my handy hubby installed a Murphy bed that has shelves and drawers on both sides of the bed. I have plenty of room for my cutting table (like a gate-leg table), full size ironing board, sewing table when the bed is closed and when guests come, I fold down the bed, fold up the tables and ironing board and stash them in the closet.

I keep all my patterns in page protectors and have separate 3-ring binders by type (jelly rolls, layer cakes, 3-yard, baby, etc.). For books like yours, I bought the magazine holders that fit right into the 3-ring binder. I slide the middle of the book on the magazine holder.

[@poppies1215]

These are nifty organizing tools without damaging books that are soft bound.

[@skiptonius5346]

This is what I did too! My Fabric Café books are together in a binder.

[@susanleonard1621]

[@rebeccasorensen7925]

A lot of us use comic book boards. You order a pack of two hundred for very cheap and they are acid free. Very nice for wrapping fabric.

[@juliemorrison4348]

Thank you for the very informative video on storing fabrics. I agree that needles shouldn’t be thrown in the trash. I keep an empty plastic peanut butter jar in my sewing room and put all my used needles, blunt pins, rotary cutter blades and any other sharps in it. Being plastic it’s safe if it falls on the floor.

[@dianekelsay3072]

Thank you for the fabric tips. I'm currently organizing my fabric stash into 3 yard groups along with the patterns I downloaded into plastic boxes. The rest of the fabric I will use your ideas of folds and rolls. I store all of my sewing supplies in a big Craftsman tool chest right by my sewing table. Plastic organizers for thread, bobbins, feet, etc. in the drawers. My husband's idea!

[@romeoslover817]

I am not a quilter, but many tips you covered work for apparel sewing too.

In m.y shed, i put up curtain rods from hooks in the beams on the Ceiling . I hang the three yards on the hangers with the pattern or book open in page protectors on the hanger. That way if i have a plan for a focas fabric, i can take a picture with me to the store or my stash to find the 1 or 2 other yards i need.

As a single retired woman, yes, I have a dedicated sewing room. A couple of organizing ideas. take a look at the hardware store for men’s tools. They have great little drawers so you can separate needle types and sizes, etc. also, repurpose your empty medicine bottles for used needles and pins. Sewing machine needles also need to be changed regularly.

[@marionbartley214]

Donna and Fran, I use empty plastic spice jars with screw on tops. To put my used sewing machine needles, into. Also bent straight pins, hand sewing needles, These bottles hold a lot of needles per bottle. And don't take up much room in storing.And when full I just toss out the jar and start with a new bottle.

[@debbierice4208]

On plastic tubs/boxes, I label with Crayola Window FX markers because can wipe off and re-label at will.

[@cherylporter1056]

When storing thread spools and the matching bobbin I use snack or sandwich bags. Make several holes in the bag with a needle so it's not a pillow of air.

[@melissaritts304]

For my embroidery thread cones, I used a 12x12 scrapbook box and glued in golf tees. You can store these laying down, or standing up. I also use ponytail holders for all of my thread to keep it from unwinding. For my fabric, I used comic book boards and to wind the fabric. I have a cube system from IKEA that I use and I love the way it looks. My sewing table is also attached to one of the cube units. So much helpful information in here! Thank you :)

I use the matchbox toy car boxes for thread storage.

[@denisewarrick4461]

I loved this video. Lots of great organizing tips. I am always surprised by the number of people who like to keep everything out on a shelf . I had a lovely thread holder right out on a shelf beside my machine. It worked great except that all of the thread I did not use very often got covered in dust. I have since started storing all my thread on golf tees (extra long ones) pushed through the holes of a piece peg Fitted into the bottom of a cabinet drawer. They are still handy beside me but never dusty. I saw this on Pintrest. I store all my fabric in 2 old dressers Fold neatly just like Fran said and sorted by colour. They stay out of the sun and protected from dust.

[@denisewarrick4461]

Edit: The extra long golf tees are long enough to store the matching bobbin on top of the spool of thread. I also cut clear plastic tubing from the plumbing supply dept. into rings the same width as a bobbin. Then I cut the ring open and fit it around the bobbin. It keeps the threads from tangling and you can still see the colour of the thread.

[@poppies1215]

Two additional items I use when organizing my small sewing needs when I move about are an old plastic medicine container and pieces of cork. Both come in so many convenient little sizes. With plastic medicine bottles, ones with a soft plastic pop on top you make a small slit or hole in the cap so I can safely dispose of used or broken needles. I also carry pieces of cork that I collect from bottles of all sorts. I use the cork to store sharp items like scissor points and different types of needles I may be using on a travel project or repair. Sharpie extra fine point pens are handy for labeling both. Happy sewing🙂

Y'all are great. Wonderful tips to stay organized

[@bitrudder3792]

What great ideas! I'm not a quilter, but am embarking on some clothing upcycling, and I love your tidy fabric storage/grouping ideas ❤️! 🔹My tip for stacking box storage (also works for clear plastic drawers) is to print bold-font labels on ordinary printer paper and tuck them just inside the front-facing side, secure with a tiny bit of clear tape...nice for uniform aesthetics and vision challenges, very easy to change out. 🔹 My tips for a travel sewing kit - similar to yours; try a multi-clear-compartment folding toiletry or jewelry roll, ideally with a hook, make sure your seam ripper and scissors have tip protectors. Easy to put into checked baggage, with room for special items (in the most recent use, plastic curtain rings to revamp curtains from faux to functioning). It was so easy to pull out just the item I needed in the limited space I had for sewing at my destination 😁!

[@FabricCafe]

Great ideas! Thank you for sharing your tricks!

[@robinwarren8035]

I use a photo album for my small patterns and the three-ring binder for the printouts. I keep the books in a file drawer. Great idea to use the sticky notes, I tend to write on the pattern, then I have all those notes I don’t need! I fold my fabric to fit on a shelf, but I use the bands to keep the three yard or five yard groups together. Have you ever considered writing patterns for five yards? Please do, I like a bigger size, but not necessarily a twin. Thanks for your videos, I always learn something. 😊

[@heathl32]

TWO dedicated rooms! LAQ in one (called the Studio) with the design walls (2), batting, backs, pending tops. The other (the Monster Room) is my action room with cutting, iron, sewing, rack of bins of fabric (35-40 bins), patterns, photo binders, and all that paraphernalia.

[@bonniewalker5225]

Wonderful video. Thanks.

[@vedatobias1702]

I went to my local dollar tree and purchased white foam core and measured my bookshelf and cut them the size of my shelf and now I have my own quilt store. LOL…. I now have more fabric that will not fit on my shelves so I need an alternative for my fat quarters and 1/2 yards. I have some photo boxes/shoe boxes and I think after watching this I am going to fold my fabric to fit inside these boxes. I also loved the suggestion on how to organize your quilt patterns.

[@tinaross6009]

Thanks for your folding system. It is very helpful. Now I can see what the fabric I have.

[@KimSchoffstall]

Wow! Such great tips. I will be going through my stash and refolding.😉

[@eugeniaread2724]

I use Command hooks to hang anything and everything in every room in the place; that way no holes in the walls or cupboard doors and is easily moveable. For example, hang the rulers on the edge of the sewing table or the back of the door. One note about placing printed label on the inside of the plastic covered binders; the ink will wear into the plastic and ruin it so you won't be able to change and reuse for another subject. I use comic boards to fold/store fabric, but I do like the idea of storing fabric rolled but not sure about the space baskets will take up. I'm thinking about those of us that have small spaces. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing.

[@helensoares2549]

[@tracy1326]

For my used needles, I store them in an old pill bottle with a hole that I drilled into the lid. Works Great!

[@jmurphy7192]

My cutting table is a basic 6-foot folding table. I attached a piece of pegboard to the center panel on each side. Added larger size hooks, and use this to store extra, less used rulers and scissors/rotary cutters. Keeps them out of the way, but handy.

[@anitanoland9188]

UNORGANIZED- notice in all caps!! I usually can find what I am looking for but it certainly is time wasted! Thank you for the thoughtful tips. I had a couple of “aha” moments. As always, enjoyed watching your video!

[@yvonnewingfield6993]

I also use medicine bottles to hold my bobbins. I fill my bobbins and place them in a bottle and label the top with the thread color/number.(6-8 bobbins). This gives me filled bobbins that I can just replace when one runs out in the middle of a project.

[@barbarabaker346]

Wonderful information ladies! 😘🧵

[@krislee72]

I have a pan lid rack hanging on my pegboard that I put my rulers in., It is easy access, and they stay really well. It does stick out a bit, but still works really well. I don't like hanging on a nail because I have to move them all to get to the one you need.

[@kaybaertlein541]

Often times the space behind your door is wasted in a craft room cause when the door is open you don't really see the space. I discovered that to be the perfect spot to hang all of my rulers. I hung nails according to the sizes of my rulers and put the ones that I use the most on the furthermost left side of the space and the ones that I don't use as often on the right-hand side of the space. They are spaced according to shape. It seems to protect them from hits and dings and they are easily found.
