Scrapbook Supplies – Getting Organized

Scrapbook Supplies Getting Organized

Way to organize all of my sewing and scrapbooking supplies?

I have loads of fabric and patterns and sewing supplies and tons of scrapbook paper and stuff that I hope to scrapbook in the future. Right now, I have a small desk with my sewing machine and a few unorganized boxes of fabric and patterns. I also have an ugly black plastic scrapbooking cart which I don't really need (and would love to get rid of) Any suggestions on ways I can take up less space and keep all my stuff organized?

For my sewing stuff I use plastic totes and zip-lock bags. The totes come in so many colors and sizes and stack together really well (you should see the rainbow stacks I have. Sorry tho no pics). I color code mine with different fabrics in different totes (denim, cotton, quilting, flannel etc). And inside the totes I keep the different fabrics in individual bags (I'm sure the space bags would come in handy here too). Somewhere I acquired some really large bags but can't remember where. Two or three yards of nicely folded fabric can fit in a standard one gallon bag tho.
As for project's I'm currently working on....I keep everything in a tote just for that. I have fabric, pattern, thread, notions,....everything in there. It keeps things clean and together. When the project is complete I empty the tote and start with a new project.
Oh and if you have space on the wall to put shelves, brackets and boards from a local hardware/lumber store work great.
