I have always believed that the key to having a Perfectly Organized Sewing Room is maintaining and maintaining.

Maintaining the organization with small actions is much better than cleaning up a bomb after it has exploded.

It can seem difficult to clean entirely at the end of each project.

But if you schedule to do small cleaning actions every day, you will see that it is much easier.

Having dedicated storage for everything also helps a lot.  Especially if they are at hand, reach them when you need them.

But don’t be fooled and rely solely on throwing things into one single space every time.

We can make the mistake of throwing so much stuff there we can forget what was there in the first place.

I bet that once you see this list, you will be able to use your creativity to find a use for more unusual objects.

How do I keep my sewing room clean and organized? 

To keep your sewing room well organized, give a place to each tool, material, and notion you have.

Make sure to return the objects to their proper designated space each time you finish using them.

Collect any small scraps and garbage from the top of the table every night.

And above all don’t forget to do constant small cleaning tasks. Some of these tasks can be putting the sewing machine covers on each machine, putting your seam ripper and scissors back in their place, picking up lost pins on the floor, and so on.

What can I use to organize my sewing tools?

Fabric boxes are perfect for keeping a sewing room organized. You can use a free box sewing pattern to make them yourself or get them at any store.

We can help ourselves with boxes to organize, which are super easy to find.

Or we can give another use to everyday things like jars for food or pens for school. Let’s not stop using something just because it’s not just for sewing. We should experiment as much as we want.
