Who needs more storage in your sewing room?
 
I found this and ordered it immediately. I have four doors in my sewing room three I can do front and back. I hope the door hinges are heavy duty. LOL
Amazon: watch the video
Homelux Theory Heavy Duty over the door organizer 55x14x6.7 6 large front and 12 side pockets.

Wow! You could put a lot in those!

My biggest problem isn't organizing. It having too much stuff in my sewing room. lol

Interesting! I'm thinking scrap storage.

Looks interesting, I'd like these for my guest bathroom. Nice place for them to put all their stuff when they come.

I'm with cashs mom 100%!!!!! My biggest problem isn't organizing either, it's just that I have TOO MUCH STUFF in my sewing room and every time I finally get organized and it looks pretty good...I end up getting more stuff! Plus the fact that my quilting table is a standard sized, heavy duty home built bed frame using 2x4's and 2x6's with a 1/2" thick sheet of plywood and then some on top of that and a 1" thick sheet and then some of wall insulation styrofoamish on top of that, then covered with a very large section of corduroy fabric...definitely overkill, but my oversized cutting mat almost covers it. I really need to cut it down some, but have 2 headboards with shelves on the long sides and a tall bookcase on the ends I removed the shelves on and use for bolts of fabric. Sorry, got off the subject, so once well organized...I end up getting MORE fabric and MORE notions, etc., and end up where I started...too much clutter! Gosh, sorry, that was long winded!

Thank you, One by One! You are my all things quilting influencer. :) The door organizer is in my Amazon cart.

Onebyone 02-10-2024 07:17 AM

Mine will be delivered today. I'll post a picture as soon as I get it up and filled.

Fizzle 02-10-2024 07:26 AM

Be sure to let us know how they work for you!!!

I have no desire to organize my fabric neatly. It is the "mess" that inspires me. Right now I have to tread carefully so I don't disrupt the pieces of quilts that are in progress and laying on the carpet. One quilt is sort of like spring flowers. When I looked at it, it doesn't look like a quilt...just looks like one flowery piece of fabric with no design. So, I'm trying out different solutions to that problem. It helps that I have all the extra space in a room that no one else goes in. So, being messy doesn't bother anyone. It's sort of like collecting cook books. I see them in the bookcase and take one out to look for an inspiring recipe...or just to enjoy reading them and occasionally make a recipe I haven't made before from them. Getting rid of a fabric is like getting rid of your dog...why get rid of it if you still love it?

I don't think that anyone needs to worry or feel guilty about having too much fabric. It is the pleasure in it that we enjoy.

Onebyone 02-10-2024 04:52 PM

I need storage for precuts,misc notions, fusibles, and all the odds and ends that are useful when needed. My yardage is fine where it is even if it is in a mess.

dunster 02-10-2024 06:19 PM

I always need more storage, but I only have one door into the quilting room, and I'm already using it to hang my panels. And every time I get more storage I just fill it up. I think it's a character flaw.

southernbobbin 02-11-2024 08:15 AM

Oh wow. I never knew such organizers existed. Thank you for sharing.

Nah ... I think it's part of the DNA of a quilter! :)

Couldn't it be both?

Not in your case ... Dunster, you are one incredible woman. So no flaws!
Besides you got some of that Canadian "blood" from your post retirement BC time! :)

I have it over the door. Once I figured out the firm inserts go in the inside pockets not the outside, it didn't take but a few minutes to have it ready to fill. It is so much better then the over the door shoe racks I have now.

joe'smom 02-12-2024 08:40 AM

How far can you close the door? Or do you put it on the outside?

Ohhh I need to check it out. I have a shoe rack over my door at present. Yes, you are the board influencer, Onebyone! :D
I have many things suggested by you!

I have it on the inside of the door going to my sewing room. The door closes fine.

I agree! It's totally in our DNA

SusieQOH 02-13-2024 08:19 AM

It looks like it holds a lot more than a shoe organizer. I'm ordering one. Thanks!

Thanks for posting that photo, Onebyone! I asked the wrong question! I was wondering how far you can open the door with the hanger on it. We have a narrow sort of hallway into my sewing room, on account of the closet being adjacent to the door.

sewingpup 02-13-2024 09:48 AM

I got an over the door "magazine rack" It is made of canvas and has about 6 pockets. I use it to store all my smaller rulers and my embroidery hoops. I also have a couple of smaller books I use often on quilt sizes and other stuff.

Onebyone 02-13-2024 01:41 PM

I can open the door until the rack touches the window next to it. No major obstacle in opening the door wide.

Cathe 02-17-2024 10:22 AM

I like that! Thanks for sharing!

Now I know what I've been doing all these years. I'm not messy, I'm de-organizing! lol
