Love the idea of the light. I am going to do that too.
I have my floor Ott lite, behind me, but I still find that behind the needle while I'm a the machine still needs more light.
I have two shelves that I put in above my machine and I found an old 45rpm wire-type record holder at the Value Village near us. I have spray-painted it and use that as my holder for patterns in use, to be used etc. I also print out a lot of freebie patterns etc. and have used a file folder and binders with vinyl inserts to hold bits and pieces, sketches etc.
Great to get super ideas. I really appreciate the common-sense of yours.
Thanks so much

Great sewing tips! Love to see a photo of your shelf& clothesline!
I used to do a lot of sewing and it was so hard to get the patterns back in the package, so just put them in a large baggie and it keeps them nice and neat. If you spray them with spray starch it will help keep them from tearing.
Also, when my pins would get dull, I would just sand them with a little sandpaper, or an emery board. Your sewing machine needle will sharpen if you sew through very fine sandpaper.
I hope these tips work for you, they have worked for me. Hope they will help you enjoy your sewing!
