Tackle It Tuesday

Tackle It Tuesday Meme
With all of the sewing I’ve been doing I decided I had to stop procrastinating and get my thread organized! I purchased a stand up organizer for my regular sewing thread and a portable storage box container for all of my embroidery thread.

I know, I know, this seems like such a no brainer. My problem was that I buy thread any time it’s on sale and I really had no method of organizing it, so it it was all in bags. This made it fairly time consuming to find the color I needed, especially when I was doing embroidery design work.

So, I finally forced myself to sit down and organize it! I didn’t take before pictures, just imagine several zip lock bags full of thread.

    what a great idea!
    Right now I have all my thread in a large canning jar.
    Once my craftroom gets done I might just have to copy this idea.

    I just bought one of those wooden thread organizers last month. You have a lot more thread though! I need to start stocking up when it is on sale. I usually wait until I need it and then end up paying full price.

    Kelly – Yep, that’s Gutterman! At least my sewing thread is, the embroidery thread is a mix of Gutterman and Sulky.
