I Do Not Need More Bobbins
 

...but I would be willing to bet as much as $1.17 that I will probably be buying more soon. For some reason I have always been fascinated with storage. All kinds. I would hate to admit how many flash drives I own.

I probably have over 40 bobbins and most are for the regular sewing, and just a few for machine applique. Is there something (aside from fabric) that calls you loudly?

Small bowls and vintage citrus reamers. ��

Sewing machine feet/attachments---I might have a machine they might fit,if i ever figured out what they would be used for--sure wish there was a catalog for all these wonderful things ! Think I have 5 buttonhole makers and I seldom ever do buttonholes !

Vintage dishes. Anything from Haviland china to Depression glass to refrigerator glass. As far as sewing goes, I have to watch myself or I'd buy tons of vintage notions. I bought I puzzle box. I have no machine that the attachments will go on, but I just loved the box.

I am lost when it some to resisting things that "might" make sewing easier. Like a needle threader, bobbin winder, and just things that seem like they'll make life easier.

Little ceramic figure planters from the 40's and 50's.... Certain glazes can't be resisted.

dish towels - I know it's weird, but I have dozens and dozens.

Vintage bobbins and accessories for me. My embroidery machines and my long arm get new bobbins but the other 60+ machines get vintage bobbins. I like to have at least one class 66, 15 and FW bobbin for each spool of cotton thread, plus 3-5 empty bobbins for each machine in case I decide to let it go to a new home. Accessory tins for each machine is something else I'm trying to have with at least a few bits in them if not all of the feet they should have.

Sparkling crystal. I feel like a Hobbit attracted to shiny things!

I probably have around 100+ bobbins, 4 ironing boards, 13 old irons that still work and 19 sewing machines, most are vintage. LOL

Iave always bought a lot of bobbins. I find it much easier to have a color I need ready when mending. Just lazy I guess.

Love all my vintage sewing items...can't pass up a wooden thread spool...have probably a 1000 or more...

Me too! I just love washing it and having it sparkle on my kitchen window sills.

Me too. My toothbrush holder is one of the 50's era china girl planters. I just live the jewel bright colors. I am also fascinated by art glass. There are little sparkles of it all over my house.

Love those cute little embroidery scissors. I have been keeping them in a drawer but am thinking about getting a pretty board that I can mount and display them on. Hopefully this will accomplish two things: one, free up a drawer and two, maybe if I see them all, I won't feel like I have to keep buying them. Maybe.

flash drives -- but they are great if you want to send a lot of pix . We divide our time between east and west coast so I use a flash to take my pix to put in the "other" computer. I like to have my pix as screen savers randomly.

I rescue vintage linens. It began in my teens and after my mom, mom in law and step-mom all left their stashes to me it expanded greatly. Every now and again I just pull my rolling chair to the chest and finger these lovely reminders of home and family - ties of love. I use them as much as I can and get more pleasure laundering and ironing them. My daugh has the bug, too.

I am addicted to scissors. I think it stems from having young children many years ago and only having one scissors in the house. Could not keep the sewing scissors private property. Have many now!!

Before I had to downsize, I collected ceramic animal banks. There were so many different animals in addition to dozens of piggy banks. They were so much fun setting around the house. I sure wish I'd saved a few of the more unusual ones.

Sewing machines, scissors, patterns, fabric, and anything else related to quilting or embroidery! You are not alone.

I've " kicked" a few habits - at first it bothered, but now not so much. Pyrex in " crazy daisy" pattern, hard to walk away, but I only buy if cheap. Texas ware but don't see it often. I've got 2 round rubber donut holders for bobbins and I keep them full from the partial full spools of thread I've inherited ( twice). I throw plastic spools, keep wooden in a big glass jar.
