I saw these desktop organizers at the Dollar Tree and thought that they would make super duper sewing table organizers. The letter holder is great for patterns and the compartmental one can hold lots of sewing stuff, the pin cushion has a steel scrubber inside to sharpen needles and pins as needed and the little plastic box came from the dollar Tree as well. They were marked as condiment holders for your lunch box. They work for that pretty good too but this one is for bobbins and such.

You can find some very handy stuff at dollar stores! I always look at everything -- just in case I can find something that can be used for something other than its orginal purpose. :wink:

I can not walk out of the Dollar Store with at least 5 items, whether I needed them or not!

LOL, great finds, i love the treasures i have found at Dollar Tree, but i always spend too much.

The letter holder might work for rulers too. Now I'll have to run up to Dollar Tree and see if they have them here because I've been looking for something to organize rulers.

Oh yes this would be great for organizing rulers, I have several of the wooden ones, so I did not think of this, but it might hold more than the wooden ones....hmmmm I think I need to make a trip into town.

I like that bag pattern you have there, too!

Great idea. I love the Dollar Store.

What a neat idea. Now you won't have to go rummaging around to find your rotary cutter.

Good idea! Thanks!

Ah Ha! I will have to go check mine out for those! Thanks for sharing :)

I use the large one for my rulers.

nice

Since I've been on the quilting board, I shop in a whole new way. Always looking for items to repurpose for quilting/sewing needs. :lol:

I need to check this store out, looks to be very handy.

I use a heavy napkin holder for my rulers. It is similar to the letter holder, but the sides are a little higher. I also use a napkin holder to hold all my cutting boards upright and out of the way on the kitchen counter. I love new ways to use common items! :)

Cute, clever and useful too!! Thanks for sharing :D:D:D

cute ideas, thanks now all of us go to the Dollar Tree and see what we can find

Great tip, thanks!

A good store to check often for good deals and to find things you might use for something other than it was intended for. Price is right, too!!
