I use an old piece of leftover water pipe to put my roll of batting on and hang it from the ceiling,
I use shoe boxes to put projects in
Babywipe containers to store things
Counter tops for all my surfaces and hubby used some old cabinet drawers to make draws underneath the countertop
freezer paper for applique pieces
bamboo skewers for a stiletto
copy paper boxes to stack and store stash that wont fit in cupboards
car floor mats underneath sewing machine foot pedal keeps it from moving
pill bottles for sorting buttons
tupperware soup bowls for pins etc.
mason jars for storing scissors
plate racks for standing up my rulers
