Small Sewing Room Organization! A Tour of My Home Studio. Keep Things Neat and Tidy With These Tips

Please stop playing the music, makes it hard to hear what you're saying, and I'd like to hear what you're saying. 😊

I love seeing this light filled and well-organized space where it all happens!

My biggest challenge is enough space! I am thankful that my husband puts up with all of my "stuff" on our side of the bedroom, but I dream of my own sewing room someday! At least the days of all of my sewing piled up on the dining room table are far behind me! :)

What a beautiful room. Finding space for all my fabrics is a great challenge for me.

Brilliant! Thanks Cinnamon! My biggest challenge is organizing my fabric.

I'm always envious of those who have beautifully put together sewing rooms. I use cube storage units and bookshelves, but I'm so busy and have so much that it rarely looks so put together. It is organized, however. I sew for several dolls, sizes and makers and keep patterns according those parameters in plastic scrapbook boxes, clipping the pattern pieces together or using clear plastic bags within the box. So I may have as many as 10 patterns in one box for that one doll. I've tried other systems but this works for me. Makes it easy to put them away quickly and as I go, too.

Love the great tips. Love how you have the fabric folded on the shelves. Very nice tip. Also love how you have dolls on display in the sewing room. It looks so pretty . We have our fabric scraps in a wooden toy box in ziplocks.

I recently found some solutions in my new sewing room. Thank you for these conversations

By the time I find everything I need for my project I no longer am wanting to do it! I love these ideas. Dream big!

I folded up my scraps and store them in shallow plastic bins meant for papers and folders. They are stored folded side up and are organized by color. They easily stack on each other and it’s so easy to see what fabric I have. Best system I’ve found.

I love the idea of the kitchen island! Better height and look at all that storage space and it's on casters so can move it everywhere!

I don’t have a sewing room, but if I did patterns would be in order and fabrics tools and notions would be in their respectful space. I am a real stickler about organization. The video is really helpful.😘❤️

My sewing room needs a HUGE overhaul.

For small fabric scraps, a clear plastic shoebox for each color is one solution. For thread, I found some plastic double sided tackle boxes that the spools fit in. They work great! I like your ribbon spools.

The Organizational course has been the single best resource for increasing my productivity.

Great tips! Organizing my fabric stash is my biggest challenge.

My biggest challenge is just having a room big enough devoted to storing & using everything I have! Love the ideas here-- I'd sort the small bits of fabrics into clear shoe boxes that can easily stack on shelves or inside closed cabinets, organized first by main colors & then within each color box also separated by solids vs. prints/patterns. I like the vertical fabric storage idea for easier access (wrapped on cardboard), but you likely need custom cabinetry to efficiently store & separate the bolts of fabrics (both vertically & horizontally). I have found stacking fabrics makes it harder to get to pieces near the bottom without the whole stack falling over & then needing refolding.

I purchased two 12-Cubby units where I fold my fabric and stack them into the cubbies, organized by color. I started storing my scraps in clear totes by colors. Although that works, I found that I might need either a different way of storing the scrabs or an additional storage venue. I am leaning more to an additional storage. For the scraps that are too small for making a doll outfit but small enough to make into a quilt for dolls and other quilts, I am currently in the process of cutting them down into strips and storing by size of strips. squares, triangles along with adding an extra tote for Christmas fabric scraps.

My biggest challenge when sewing is having what I need clear across the room from where I’m working. The measuring tape is on the ironing board when I’m at the sewing machine 😂 I love the idea withe pegboard for thread and the comment about small bags for scraps sorted by color!

Thanks for the tips! Definitely organizing my fabric stash is my biggest challenge!
