When my neighbor redid her kitchen, I put her old cabinets, sans doors, on the walls of my sewing room. All the Tupperware & Rubbermaid containers that have 'lost' their tops hold sewing notions. I cut up a cutting mat I bought on sale & made a rotary mat by putting it on top of a kitchen rotary I found at a thrift store. I use another part of the mat at my sewing table when I'm paper piecing for triming. I cut a small piece to take in my portable kit to classes.
