I don't do well with a lot of clutter around me while sewing. When I am working on a project I only have the tools I will need next to the machine, scissors, nippers, seam ripper, pins. When I am done sewing for the day they are all put away. I have two huge drawers on either side of me that have the rest of my sewing tools. I am still working out a better method of organizing for the drawers. I have some kitchen drawer organizers & various boxes.
