I keep all of my notions, habby etc in various sized and shaped plastic baskets, and all my threads in 4 giant versions of your foot box. (one for warms, one for cools, one for pure cottons and one for variegates etc I quilt too you see!)<br />My fabric I keep in tall cupboards, straight o teh shelves, folded up but recently heard the tip to tie them in bundles as they stack better. No good for quilting cotton (two cupboards just of those) but great for dress fabrics. There's a few posts on my blog about all this, I'll go lable them.MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-8930747960099837302012-01-27T17:56:28.865+11:002012-01-27T17:56:28.865+11:00I have very similar boxes (2) for my machine feet ...I have very similar boxes (2) for my machine feet - I think I got mine at Big W in the fishing department. For my patterns I use the display folders. I take the innards out of the envelope and put it in a ziplock bag. All the ziplock bags are stored in the cardboard boxes that printer paper comes in labelled with pattern brand - Vogue, Butterick etc. All of the envelope covers go in the display folders with the clear envelopes in them. I think I've got about 4/5 display folders - Stretch, and then by company name.tigergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229270869667028807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-1457450079069551962012-01-18T00:30:40.312+11:002012-01-18T00:30:40.312+11:00Thanks so much for stopping by my blog again and l...Thanks so much for stopping by my blog again and letting me know about the browser!

Well done.<br />My patterns (normal sized) are stored in similar boxes to your white ones, but mine are from IKEA and they are a touch larger. So my patterns are stored sideways, but facing the front. I don't have any larger patterns.<br />My feet I keep in the original packaging so that the instructions are there at hand.<br />So fairly similar to you. I do like to be organised and on top of my sewing room (well, most of the time)...Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.com
