I just found these luggage pieces on etsy by roundtrip!
roundtrip specializes in up-cycled handbags and luggage. All of the designs are done by hand (no stencils) using heat set, waterproof paints. Not to mention, they look pretty darn clean inside, especially for vintage luggage!
Hmmm, makes me want to go someplace just so I can use them.
Following the Leader – $50
Sky High – $40
Make a Wish – $55
I work soooo hard to keep everything tidy in my sewing room. Okay, maybe not. I should say I would LIKE to keep everything tidy in my sewing room.
I’m still toying with different ideas to control my fabrics. I currently have plastic storage bins and I still don’t like it. I have some things I’m working on building though…
I do, however, feel pretty satisfied with my buttons and overlock/serger/cone threads.
JoAnne’s has Cone Thread Organizers like this for around $10 each:
I would’ve needed at least five of them so I went to Walmart instead and got this large 3 drawer for $16 (is $18 online, but cheaper in the actual store):
I also have another for my shipping supplies, which works great. The wheels come with it but they are optional to put on.
For my buttons I like to use fishing tackle boxes. Be sure to get the adjustable ones. They can be a bit of a rip off so save yourself the trouble and the dough. Steal them from your boyfriend like I did (NEW ones not USED for crying out loud!!!) or just go to Amazon and get these for less than $6:
As soon as I work out the rest of my sewing room I’ll post pics. It’ll be cute when it’s finally done.
I’m curious what other crafters do to keep organized. Some times it seems so overwhelming. What do you guys do?
