Ok you might remember this picture from a few months
ago…
Well I finally came up with something to keep scissors
and pins near my sewing machine but out of mischievous little hands. (Unfortunately it doesn't keep trucks and tractors off the sewing machine which someone is convinced is a garage.)
This is an
elevator bucket. Usually these are
attached to a belt in a grain leg and pick up grain from the pit and move it to
the top of the leg. In other words… they
make a great little container to hold crafty things. I actually have three in garage next to the
door which are suppose to catch all the things that end up on the kitchen
counter instead.
I thought about spray painting this one white but was
worried it might get scratched up so instead I decorated it with some pretty
purple vinyl swirls.
My wonderful husband hung it for me and it has filled
with scissors, seam rippers, and my bobbin case ever since. I can reach it sitting down at my sewing machine
and best of all my sewing table is not covered with stuff I have to move
whenever I want to work on something big.
What do you do to keep your sewing area organized?
