I have an L shaped table, my sewing machine sits on it together with my cutting mat. I have a couple of tins which house scissors, needles, rotary cutters etc. Some books and patterns. A4 folder with embroidery threads. The return of the table has shelves and I have 6 large plastic containers with fabric, vilene etc in no particular order. In the room are another 6 containers of fabric, quilt tops to quilt etc, a box of batting, various boxes with threads. I share the room with my husband and his electronics. After a year, this space is a mess and I can never find anything. I envisage a complete overhaul perhaps purchasing a few inexpensive items to improve storage. I want a clear desk to work at and I want to be able to walk in and find my scissors, needles etc without searching. I also need space for my knitting and crochet projects/stash (currently they are overtaking the living room)
I've been googling storage boxes and storage solutions all day and am no wiser as how to overhaul my space.
I'd like to hear about your space, your best ever storage finds and anything else my space would benefit from.
