Thread: Years ago I bought a fishing tackle box. Size was about 12" in height and width. I has about 40 small tray that slide in and out. I put little stick-on dots and wrote the color on each dot which was on each box. Now threads never come unrolled and I can find the color I need right away. I organized from white to black with more than one drawer/tray for some colors I use often. I had left over drawers so I change add or change I aquire more thread in each color. I also keep the bobbins with that color in the same drawer/tray. THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE. I love to grab a thread to mend or start projects: they are all labeled so I just pull out the tray/drawer and find exact color I need. -

On a block of wood, tap in five or six 3 inch nails 1.5 inches apart in a straight line. The bobbins will stack on the nails, ready to use at any time.

Put fabric, pattern, zipper and other specific items in a large Ziploc bag so that it stays clean and everything for that project is in one place.

I bought a white shoe cubby to store my extra fabric in. I roll the fabric and wrap them in cling wrap, then I cut a piece off the fabric and pin it to the outside of the cling wrap. That way the fabric stays clean and you can glance to see which one you want to use instead of unwrapping the fabric. Also, I save paper towel rolls and wrapping paper rolls to roll the fabric on. Shoe cubbies come in different size, I bought one that holds 15 shoes.

A medicine pill box is also a great way to keep bobbins organized.

I use plastic ice cube trays to keep the color bobbins handy in my sewing drawer by my embroidery and sewing machine. You can easily see what color you need and tell how many full ones you have left for your project.
