Re: How do you store your thread and other sewing notions?

I have the luxury of having a dedicated room, I actually took over the master bedroom for my studio, and have two great closets (we have 4 bedrooms and my husband suggested that I have the largest room for my sewing business)
I store my threads in plastic containers that were originally for the Matchbox cars for children. they were about $6 a container and have compartments on both sides, So I can store color ranges on both sides... I can keep emboridery thread seperate from sewing thread. they are easy to store in a cupboard under my sewing desk, which is actually a computer desk.
I store my bobbins in those cute plastic round bobbin holders and they stay in there without a struggle and no more of the threads being tangled.
On the slide out on the desk, which would be where the keyboard for a computer would have been I keep a drawer oragniser and store empty bobbins, tools scissors etc.
I do have a spindle thread holder on the top shelf of the computer desk, where I store the regular black, white, cream and brown threads. My fabric is stored on the cardboard like they are in the store. So at a glance I can see what I have and use it. The cardboard in most fabric stores ends up being thrown away, they dont always get to recycle it. So I do my part to recycle. They are free. My patterns are kept in pattern boxes and stored in the closet.
All notions are stored in pattern boxes on a shelving system you find in a pantry or closet.
I love my Studio. I love my husband for making the suggestion to change rooms!
