OK, here goes ~ Week five: <\/span>
\nHow I organize my sewing threads:
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reading the other blog posts in the Creative spaces blog line-up, I was blown away by the number of spools of threads some of the other designers have!!! I have to say I am quite jealous of all the lovely shades of thread BUT I consoled myself with the fact that they couldn’t possibly have as many craft eyes as I do! LOL !! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I have so few sewing machine threads – I keep the colours I use the most on the ‘spikes’ of my sewing cabinet.<\/p>\n

I don’t know? Is that the right word for
\n‘the things the spools of cotton slip onto’?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"storing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND my extra threads go into one of my ice-cream containers! NOT very flash, I know, by it’s airtight and keeps them clear of dusts and cob-webs! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"storing<\/p>\n

 <\/h2>\n

How I organise my buttons:<\/span><\/h2>\n

I found this cute craft box at a thrift shop and it’s perfect for storing special buttons… and it’s PURPLE too – perfect!!!<\/p>\n

\"storing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How I organise my embellishments:<\/span><\/h2>\n

A sewing room isn’t complete without a biscuit tin or chocolate tin filled with sewing stuff, right? My ‘sewing-tin’ is filled with toy-making supplies like squeekers, bells, toy rattles,  baby-chew-ring-things and other such stuff to add to my soft toys!<\/p>\n

\"chocolate<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How I organise my embellishments:<\/span><\/h2>\n

I like to use wool felt, embroidery threads and ribbons to embellish my soft toys. I have a stationery cabinet\/drawers that has been brilliant for keeping my embellishment stash in some degree of order..<\/p>\n

It’s PURPLE too!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sewing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s all for today!<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

I hope that has given you some ideas for how to keep your sewing threads, buttons and embellishments tidy?<\/p>\n
