Just walked out of the sewing room - and thought I need to stop and get it organized again-----------I try to put everything back in it's place but don't seem to manage it.

I like being organized. It means I get to spend time sewing and quilting instead of hunting for stuff. Designate specific places for things and put them there. Like with like. All of my needles and pins of any kind go in one drawer. Design tools go in one drawer. All chargers and extension cords go in one drawer. I have small bins for things like glues and patterns. If I need a glue I know exactly where it is. All of my quilt basting and marking stuff is together in one drawer. That makes it easy to just grab exactly the thing you want instead of spending time hunting for stuff. If you have a label maker label the drawers or bins or whatever you use for things.

Being organized really isn't hard to do.

"Organize" is a dirty word and I wish people on this board would clean up their potty mouths!

You are absolutely right. It's sometimes a lot of work to get there, but once you're there it's pretty liberating and so much easier to find things. Before I got organized I would spend hours looking for something specific or just go to the store and buy something else. Of course as soon as I got home I would find what I had been looking for. Guess it's not for everyone, but for me getting organized was a blessing.

I thought I was organized, but everytime I go to look for something I can not find it.

I have a gambrel roof in my sewing area too. I have some tall bookshelves on the slanted wall that makes a wedge shape of storage for batting and such behind them. Organizing is always a challenge.

Would it be possible to hang toy nets, from the slanted ceilings? Those can hold lightweight items. You may even be able to hang tiers of nets, if there's room.

I bought a book on Amazon on Organizing crafts. One of the things I have done and love the way it turned out is to buy hangers some with clothes pins and some not and eight hung or pinned the larger pieced of fabric on them and hung them on a clothes bar in my sewing room. Very easy to see what you have and doesn't take a lot of room. I also bought a shelf that is suppose to be used for CD's and put my fat quarters in it. It holds a lot of them and you can see exactly what you have. If you don't want to but the shelf, get card board boxes that ar narrow and shallow and stand them up in that. I have some in those to. It just takes a while to ge it exactly convient for you but you will eventually will and with your business I'm sure it's very important to get it done.
