Organizing Your Sewing Area
This contributor post is written by Donna of donnaslavendernest.
Hi y’all.
I am donna from It is so much fun to be back here at Clover and Violet. Jenny and Clara are just the 2 sweetest people and I am so grateful they are having me on there blog.
Today I wanted to give you some ideas of how to organize around your sewing machine. Now I am just saying, it is not always this clean around my machine. LOL!
My very clever hubby made me a desk so that my machine would fit in it. So far it has been the best thing ever. I stumbled upon this sweet milk glass bowl at a resale shop super cheap and decided it could be used for my thread nest as I am sewing.
This is a tin a watch came in a long time ago. It is perfect for holding all the things you need while sewing. When I go on retreat I just put the lid on and pack it with the other goodies going along for a sewing trip.
The drawer that attaches to my sewing machine just didn’t work anymore or fit the new dest. So I found this sweet bowl at Goodwill to hold the different feet that go with my sewing machine, sewing machine oil and needles. It works perfectly and everything is very handy.
Hope I was able to give you a few ideas of how you can organize around your sewing machine and keep it looking cute.
Thank you so much Jennie and Clara for having me. You are the best.
Hugs

Love the beautiful dishes and tins you use, to keep your sewing notions in. Thank you for your post!
I was reading through and admiring your sewing room organizing post, and it occurs to me that organizing isn’t really a problem for me and never has been – KEEPING IT ORDERLY is MY problem!! I can get it all nice, but then I start working on a project (or 10) and in a matter of a couple of hours – chaos!!! I need a house elf.
The watch tin is a brilliant idea! Love that it’s portable and you can easily take it along.
Neat! Now I know how to organize mine. Thanks!
Thanks for the great ideas for storage. My hubs turned a $40 dining table into my sewing table and it’s been brilliant. I have a similar collection of storage beside my machine now – I’ve become a mad keen collector of tins. 🙂
