My biggest sewing organization challenge is my scrap basket. I keep all sizes of scrap fabrics for use in appliqué and smaller projects, and they seem to get out of hand quite quickly.

My biggest organizational challenge is honestly a bigger sewing room. Last year I completely cleaned and reorganized my sewing room. It took me 6 months to do. I filed all my 1000 patterns in IKEA boxes according to doll, children, adult, coats, dresses,tops, skirts,etc etc. and recorded all my patterns in a journal. My fabrics are all in categories,too, in my wall of IKEA Billy bookcases and antique French armoire. I love my 12 ft by 12 ft sewing room now BUT it is packed full. I need a bigger room!!

When I deep clean remembering where I put things. Always know where my tools are but it’s the where did I put that? when its something I don’t use all the time, or that certain piece of fabric or trim, that I was sure I’d remember where I put it.

My biggest organization challenge is keeping items and projects where they need to be. I quilt, I embroidery, crochet, and sew doll clothes. Keeping all the supplies organize and where they need to be when I need them. Also remembering where I put them and that is whole another problem.

My biggest Storage challenge is the fabric! If it was in nice larger size pieces it would be easier but I have a lot of small pieces that end up getting buried! I could definitely use some tips on organizing fabric, specially smaller odd size pieces.

My biggest sewing challenge is making up my mind what I want to sew next. Usually on the way to retrieve fabric for one pattern, I run into six others I was really going to make first, and then I end up in a debate with myself which one I want to make most.

My biggest organizational challenge is acutely putting my purchases away when I get home. I always think, I’ll put that away later, and never do. But, on the plus side, I can usually remember when I put it down at

My biggest challenge is keeping my fabric neat. I have it stored in long under bed storage b ins but they don’t seem to STAY neat. I am always in a hurry and don’t take the time to refold neatly the smaller pieces I have gone through.

My biggest sewing organization challenge is I need more shelves for my fabric plus a better way to sort them so I can find the ones I am looking for. By the time I have pulled out fabric searching I have a mess to clean up before I can actually get my project started.

My biggest sewing organization challenge is fabrics. It’s hard to store them where you can see what’s there when you need a certain color or type. I find myself digging through plastic tubs to find what I need and it’s not so much fun.

My biggest challenge is finding time to make and finish all the projects I think of making. And while I am making projects, my biggest struggle is to keep track of all the parts. I am lucky that I do not have a designated sewing place so I have to clean up every night, otherwise I would loose everything.

My biggest organizational challenge is left over fabric at the end of a project. I can’t seem to admit small pieces of beautiful fabric may need to go. I recently have started cutting out doll clothes from the small pieces and putting them in plastic bags in a small bin. When the pieces are too small for that I am better able to let go and I now have a day I can sew without cutting. We’ll see how well this works.

My biggest sewing organizational challenge is that I am just not by nature very organized in some areas of my life! I start to organize a drawer or something, get distracted by all the good stuff I find, and I’m off on another tangent of where I could use that whatever! I also am one of those people who has to have things strewn about me, or I forget what I have. Out of sight is quite literally out of mind for me! So, if I’m making a doll dress and need some kind of trim, I need to go thru ALL my trims to find out which ones might work, then leave those out while I think about it for a few days….

My biggest sewing organizational challenge is lack of space. My sewing area is a corner of the bedroom and my supplies are inconveniently tucked into bins in a closet.

My biggest organizational challenge is my patterns! Printing them all out would use hundreds of sheets of paper, which seems wasteful. But, not printing them has caused me to purchase some patterns multiple times. I know there has to be a creative and logical solution, but I have not figured it out yet! I welcome ideas.

My biggest sewing organization challenge is getting started. I want a clean and organized sewing/craft room…I am learning to not look at the whole room but just one small area and clean that. The next day, I can clean the space next to it. Eventually, my sewing/craft room will be cleaned and organized.

Is clutter. I’m the worst as not cleaning up as I go or getting side tracked, so things just pile up. I need containers… lots of containers.. lol

My biggest sewing organization challenge is keeping track of all the pieces of the project. From pattern pieces, threads, seem rippers, buttons, ribbons, the dreaded missing pins, to the actual piece I’m sewing. I hand sew a lot, so I carry things to different areas and it doesn’t end well some of the time. Lots of waisted minutes trying to find the missing items.

My biggest sewing organization challenge is trying to keep my work space neat and tidy. I do try to keep my workspace tidy but it doesnt always happen. When you are creative you arent necessarily super neat and if I take the time to straighten up my workspace it takes out time that I could be creating and sewing.
