The caddy is really neat and tidy. I have two small baskets that I keep near but not on my cutting/sewing table. They are a true mess, but I know what is in each one and that makes them successful. All the marking/cutting tools go in one and misc.stuff goes in the other. My star discovery is to clean up at the end of each day or sewing session. The 30 to 60 seconds of clean-up makes a HUGE difference. That all old adage of a place fore everything and everything in its place carries a lot of wisdom.
