Organizing Sewing Notions

Cardboard in a Clear Plastic Bag

Keep ribbons, lace, ric rac, seam binding, etc. on a piece of cardboard and place in a snack bag to keep neat. I prefer to use the generic snack bags since they do not have a colored zip strip. I keep mine filed neatly in the bottom of my sewing box.

Seam Binding

I sew a lot and have found out by wrapping seam binding on small cardboard and then putting them in a shoe box by color you never have a problem finding what you need.

Clear Plastic Boxes

I store notions in clear plastic boxes. This is a little more costly, but you can see what you have immediately before pulling out the boxes.

Fishing Tackle Box

You may giggle on this one, but I went shopping at Walmart and found a pretty teal fishing tackle box that was on sale for $5 and I use that to organize even the smallest sewing needs. I also have spaces for my crochet hooks and the bottom for knitting needles and odds n' ends. It wasn't as pretty as the tapestry covered sewing box that I wanted, but it's much more useful and handy than that one!

I do something similar for my ribbons and trims as the cardboard idea except I use scraps of plastic canvas with notches cut in each short end of the square or rectangle to hold the ends of the trim.
