My biggest sewing organization challenge is…..keeping track of when certain projects are due for whom, because I sew all year long for all 8 of my grandkids, 2 great-grands, as well as 5 prayer pals, not to mention family and friends birthdays — AND Christmas gifts!!!
Having a place to put everything in my new small space!
Keeping it tidy after a project. I have a very tiny room that is exploding with fabrics, trims, dolls and patterns

My biggest sewing organization challenge is keeping track of what fabric and notions I have.
My biggest sewing organizational challenge is having enough storage space-I am constantly reorganizing things to make my projects easier which helps but having adequate space would certainly be better. Oh to have a dedicated room to be able to organize everything is but a dream right now!!
My biggest sewing organization problem is keeping my fabric organized so I can see what I have. I have bought fabric I already have for a project because I can’t locate the original piece.
My biggest sewing organization challenge is that I don’t have a designated space for sewing. All my sewing stuff sits in boxes or in a closet if I’m not in the middle of a project. And if I am in the middle of a project, my sewing machine sits on my table and my sewing stuff all over the floor (and chairs, and counters, etc).

My plan is to totally organize my two doll rooms. My hubby will be putting together some more Billy bookcases we bought from Ikea and the doors for them.
…putting things away.
My biggest sewing organization challenge is sorting through my stash before I buy some more.
Even though I have completed coursework about organizing, I find it challenging to efficiently use what I know about my personal style of organizing. After uncovering little items and unfinished projects, assigning a place for them, or a time to finish them, is a challenge.
My biggest sewing organization challenge is where do I put all the fabric.
My biggest sewing organization challenge is knowing when enough is enough! I continually adopt fabrics and notions from various people and ources…..I can’t turn anything down, just in case I might need it someday!
My biggest sewing organization challenge is any kind of organization. I don’t have any single spot in my home for it so have to search in multiple rooms, closets and random spots to find what I need for a project.
My biggest challenge is space and time. I need more of both.

“My biggest sewing organization challenge is getting started going through the mess!
My biggest sewing room organization problem is well… organizing many years worth of bits and jobs!
My biggest sewing organization challenge is where to keep my collection of fabrics to be used.
My biggest sewing room organizational challenge is letting go of supplies that I am not likely to use. It is hard because you know as soon as you donate your leftover items (buttons, ribbons, etc.) you find you could have used them on a project! So essentially it is a space issue.
My biggest sewing challenge is to finish the numerous projects I started!
My biggest sewing organization challenge is having all of my supplies where I can find them when I want to use them because I am so blessed to have many plastic totes full.
My biggest organization challenge is how to configure the She Shed my Mother-in-law gave me for helping her. This She Shed is suppose to let me work on my dolls.

My biggest sewing organization challenge is the diversity of types of fabric I have versus the containers or shelves I have to put them on. They end up together and then I play hunt and seek when I want something particular.
My biggest sewing organization challenge is finding a good way to display what I have made.
Actually, my fabric is fairly organized in cardboard dress pattern boxes (of yesterday). They stack perfectly for storage. However, when I pull fabrics to audition a pattern, that’s when I get in trouble. Attempting to return the rejected fabrics to correct storage boxes isn’t as much fun as pulling them originally.
My organization issue is where do I put all my stuff—-I do not have enough room to put all of the stuff that I want—fabric, patterns, thread, yarn, scissors, pins, needles, knitting and crochet stuff, and all the electronic files of stuff—-and ESPECIALLY my doll patterns!!!!!! Happy New Year!!! GOD bless y’all.
Is to keep my sewing room clean and in order.
My biggest sewing organizational challenge is space. I have ribbons, lace etc. in nice plastic, rubbermaid type containers or stacker drawers, but I’d like to combine some of the smaller containers into larger ones. The smaller ones are stacked on the carpet around the room, meaning I have to move several to get to one. I’ll have to think about how to do this more efficiently.
