Tips for Organizing Sewing Patterns and Fabric

One of the trickiest things to tackle with any hobby is how to organize and store supplies so that they are protected during storage and easy to find when needed. Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time organizing my sewing and crafting supplies. And when I move to a new place, I often have to change how I store things.

So whether you’re just starting out or looking for a change, below are a few blog posts with my tried and true tips for organizing my sewing patterns and fabric stash. Happy sewing!

I hope you find these tutorials helpful. You can explore more on my Tips & Tutorials page.

DIY Sweater Knit Bootie Slippers

Hello sew-friends! This quick variation of my Quilted Slippers pattern is my final make of 2024. Ta-da!!
