Sewing place organizing is stuck with every sewing person. It’s hard to stop increasing sewing supplies if you love sewing. These supplies are easily messed up while sewing. I’m sometimes surprised at the cluttered room when I finish making a garment. It seems I don’t really like to put notions back into their original place…
This basket is my favorite! I throw frequently used notions in the basket. Pins and pincushion, thread scissors, measure, stiletto… anything I need. I don’t have to open and close a drawer, and am able to make a stitch everywhere I’d like to with the basket.
I made a small Origami box. I always set the box next to the sewing machine, and throw out lint and remnant in it, so that I don’t have to keep a trash box closer all of the time.
It also annoys me to look for matching bobbin thread. So I got rolled paper into sewing yarn and matched bobbin thread.

ミシン周りの整頓は常に私の課題です。どんどん物は増えて収納に困るし、何かを作ることに熱中すると気がついたら足の踏み場もない部屋になっている、なんてこともしばしばあります。きっと洋裁をする人にとってはミシン周りの整理整頓は共通の課題なのでは?
私が少し工夫してやっていることを紹介します。
まずは籐籠に、頻繁に使うものをなんでも突っ込む!工夫もなにもないけど、必要なものがすぐに手に届くし、この籠を持って行けば家中どこででもチクチクできます。
それからオリガミで小さな箱を作り、いつもミシンの横に置くようにしています。糸くずや布切れをポンポンとこの箱に放り込めば、いちいちゴミ箱に捨てるより楽ちんです。
ミシンの下糸を探すのにいちいち手間取るので、丸めた紙を糸とボビンがバラバラにならないように通して収納しています。見た目もすっきり!
