Well, it was way past time to get my sewing area cleaned up and organized. The first pic is my stash before and the 3rd pic is my stash 1/2 way done. I need more boards, but our dollar is doing so poorly I can't order any more in, so I'm going to see if there is a local company that can cut some for me cheaper. I prefer the Polar Notions boards as they are much thinner than the Fabric Organizer boards, so I can get many more on the shelf.
I also bought a stabilizer organizer that clips over the door and got those cleaned up out of the box. Mocha had to check it out and make sure What do you think so far?
certainly now have this fantastic feeling of inner satisfaction after all the work and how pretty and neat it's become. Also I love the organizer for
the stabilizer. Haven't seen such a thing before...
But I love the furry "thing" in picture 5. Have also one who likes to hide in boxes but mine is black and white - Have a great week - Maria
I bought the stabilizer organizer from Nancy's notions and it is well worth it.
Love your kitty - he looks like my MIL's previous cat. They are such company and so love to 'help' :-)
I also love all your threads. About half of my threads are the large cones so I need a drawer system for my threads, which is now on my husbands honey do list as he has completed our kitchen cabinets and hopefully won't be too long until a roll around thread cabinet will be helping my sewing area to be more organized so it can be more like what your area is looking like it is becoming.
Hubby made the thread holder on the left of the door for me a couple of years ago. I love it, but it wasn't big enough and he didn't have the strength to make me another, so I had to buy some plastic ones.

This is the comment I read....
started out with Polar Notions. They are nice, but pricey. After that I went with comic book boards. The are acid free and you can get 100 for $10. Overall I have to say I really prefer the comic book boards. They hold the fabric nicely and the big plus - they aren't as thick so you don't lose shelf space. It adds up when you start thinking about it. I thought about buying some of the other ideas mentioned but I just really didn't want to spend the time cutting them to size. This just works for me.
