May Must Have Tool



Really tired of pins? I know I am, but many times I must use these sticky owie pieces of torture since there is nothing else right?


Meet my little friend  Wonder Clips!
They can be feed under the presser foot and no worries on snapping your needles!! 

April's Sewing Organizers!

I don't know about you all? But Spring has me thinking of organization!  I find it difficult to sew or even begin to create in a messy space.


So here are some of my favorite organizing supplies.  For today, buy them quickly, I have some from the past that you simply can not purchase anymore they are not made!


These are from JoAnn's.com, this is a great holder, it is a  medium sized piece not too heavy and you can carry loads of needed items within!


  
This is more than one thing, you can stack these, and if you pick up any of these boxes: 9000AB,9001AB,9007AB,9100AB,9101AB.







But perhaps you are looking for a smaller tote?
 
This is offered at Amazon.com, just do a search on Artbin Sewing Organizers to get them all, for you to check out!  The one on the right is a perfect piece to hold threads, did you know? Threads especially cotton threads deteriorate in the light? So keeping them enclosed is supposed to inhibit that.  Below is the ArtBin Double Take Translucent Container

As for carrying the sewing machine?  Hemline has a line of rollers for your machine and embroidery machines, currently they do not have one large enough for the Viking Diamond Series embroidery, that I know of!

The Needle Nest







I know it sounds easy, however, I have several of these gems, I place my embroidery needles in one in another are  my beading needles. I even have one that holds larger eyed needled for when I need to make lacing holes with linen or silks.  It is limited in size so some of my larger needles are not able to be fit in, you can find these at almost all stores, however it seems Walmart has different colors of Purple and Green, I have only found Blue at JoAnn's and Micheal's.
