When I re-organized my sewing room, I was shocked at how many pair of scissors and rotary cutters I had. So all notions are now in labeled drawers. This makes it easier to put things away because I know exactly where to find them.
And fabrics? I took them out of bins, wrapped them around those comic book dividers and sorted by color. Fabrics now live in a closet with shelves, and I haven't bought fabric since I reorganized. I've finished 2 projects and was able to find exactly what I needed without spending a cent.
I'm not organized or neat by nature, but this organization effort really helped me. It's amazing how much space you can gain.
