I use a silverware drawer organizer next to my machine for keeping my tools for the project in order so I can find things. Scissors, seam ripper, glue stick, bobbins, pins, and my glasses.
Speaking of glasses, I went to the dollar store and bought 6 pair of glasses, I have to have the 2.50 strength. Now, I can see black thread on black material. lol
I have 2 pair by my sewing machine, a pair by the computer, one in my purse for reading the menu when we go out to eat, one in the container for helping the kids with their homework, etc. works for me.
