MAGNETIC TAPE
Upgrade a crowded drawer
with strips of magnetic tape on the
often-unused interior sides. The tape
can hold loose needles, pins, metal
bobbins, clips, and other small notions.
You can also cut the tape to the size
of your cutting tools and place it on
the drawer bed to keep the tools from
sliding around as the drawer is opened
and closed. Because the tape comes in
a variety of widths and strengths, you
can buy it to fit your needs.SPICE DRAWER INSERT
Keep items like spools of
thread and small bottles of liquids
visible and easy to reach with a
spice drawer insert that has slanted
dividers. The dividers will hold spools
in place so the thread doesn’t get
tangled and a closed drawer will
hide thread from light and dust. The
slanted dividers mean the bottles of
liquid won’t spill.FILE CABINET
Use a file cabinet in your
sewing room to store acrylic
templates and rulers in individual
hanging folders. In each folder with
a ruler include the ruler instructions
and even a unit sewn using the ruler.
You also can use hanging folders to
store fabric panels apart from your
stash and packages of fusibles and
interfacing.Deal with Your Junk (Drawer)SEW ORGANIZED
