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

I have a small sewing room that has to double as a bedroom so storage is very limited. I use --beautiful stack boxes-- to hold items I don't use everyday, and my favorite is an --over the door clear shoe storage bag.-- The bag is clear so you can see what is contains. I store things like my favorite and most used sewing notions, presser feet, and large spools of serger threads, snaps, zippers, and embellishments for my sewing projects. The shoe bag hides behind the door is out of site but so easy to access. I had seen something similar at my cousin's, she had a Barbie Doll storage bag similar hanging on her wall, and it gave me the idea for the shoe bag. Another storage solution I have is using my --local fabric store’s reusable "green" bags. I place my “projects” in plastic bags, write on the outside what it is, then stash them into the reusable bags throw them into the closet and can find everything I need for that project in a flash.
