At home sewing: what did you make the ruler hanger with? Is it fabric or clear plastic?

that is a neat ruler holder. God bless. Penny

It was made with a quarter-inch melamine sheet (plastic-coated particle board), some small stainless steel nuts and bolts which the rulers hang on, two over-the-door metal brackets and four felt protectors.
Directions on specifically how are here:

Great idea roolen.

thank you all for such great ideas. I am going to print some of the ideas and see what works best in my small studio. I have decided I am going to sound professional and call my sewing room a studio make me sound like I know what I a doing in there. LOL

I also made a holder from jean fabric, however the inside of mine is large enough to store my cutting mat. It is on a wooden hanger. hello!

I have sewed for rulers a keeper from old jeans and from a hanger. It is very convenient and I like it . The Tutorial is in my blog - http://roolen.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post_751.html. It's in Russian but photos are detailed and also there is a button of the Google-translator. :)[/quote]

Well we moved back in June and this new room is open to the rest of the house, one wall is nothing but a sliding glass door, the second wall is taken up by two big windows, which I have a bookcase blocking part of one, the last and only full wall is for my design wall and stash racks. So, I had to use the absolutely useless front closet to hang my rulers on the circular hangers from JoAnn's. The big squares and rotating mat I leave in the sewing room against the wall. I don't like having my stuff spread out like this. What I can't fit is in the garage.

But, on the bright side, I am beyond fortunate to have as much space as I do to dedicate just to sewing and for that I am ever so thankful and grateful.

Go to "www.ihaveanotion.blogspot.com and look down the page. Kelly does an article about a "hanging wooden ruler holder" that Clyde makes. She has a link to his site. I have one and have one on the way. I sent one to Kelly and she loved it. It is high quality. It has 14 slots (I have about 25 rulers on mine) and 7 hooks underneath to hang scissors or anything else and it has a magnetic door that has a cubby hole that I put my thread and other things in it. Clyde makes each one by hand. He uses wooden dowels, not staples or nails or screws. He uses real wood. Maple, oak, mahogany, etc. If you read her blog, she has pictures and everything. I bought one from Clyde and fell in love with it and talked to him and he had been trying to get quilters to see them. So, as a present, I sent one to Kelly. She loved it so much that she blogged all about it. And she is very picky about what she shares on her blog site. They are about $40.00 (very reasonable). You can buy cheaply made ones for that. So check it out. You'll be amazed.

I am using a mail sorter I found at Goodwill for a dollar. It's like the wire ones at WalMart that holds file folders on top of your desk.

Works great!
