sewing room ideas – 30 craft organization ideas

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

New year organization is one of my favorite times! I love cleaning up and starting fresh. Here are over 30 sewing room ideas to help you organize your crafts this year.

Sewing Room IdeasThese ideas range from full overhauls to little notion storage ideas to cute storage accessories that will make you smile. Having an organized sewing space is essential for a productive craft experience!

Sewing Room Organization Ideas

DIY Sewing Machine Mat

Download the free pattern for this sewing machine mat. The pockets will keep all your sewing essentials handy and your sewing machine will have a soft spot to hang! Add sewing machine feet, thread scissors, a measuring tape and your seam ripper in the pockets.

3 ways to store fabric

I have a few different fabric storage methods for different types and cuts of fabric. These use a combination of mini bolt storage and plastic bins.

Store Fabric so you can see it

Pattern and ruler storage 

Use a wooden paper organizer for paper patterns that you use frequently and acrylic rulers!

Manila Envelope Pattern Storage

If you have a lot of patterns to keep organized, using large envelopes is an easy way to keep them neat. This helps me from printing the same pattern over and over by keeping all the pieces I need in one place. Print out the pattern cover at 50 or 60% and tape or glue it to the front. You can print in black and white to save ink. Stash these in a cute basket so you can file through them when needed.

Organize your Sewing Patterns

Machine Foot Storage 

This is one of my most life-changing sewing organization hacks! These organizers are typically used for beads or embroidery floss, but look at how perfect they are for machine feet! Those little buggers end up all over my sewing room in various drawers and boxes. Now they are all together and labeled! Get these on Amazon or at a local craft store. They are $3.50 at Michaels!

Notions Storage Ideas

DIY Fabric Boxes 

Make cute and punny fabric boxes. These are great drawer dividers for little notions.

More Box Ideas

This post has a PDF version of the box pattern and more designs to include.

Mason Jar Label Printable

Print off these sewing room labels and stick your notions in clear jars!

Vinyl Craft Room Labels 

Use vinyl to label just about anything!

Little Hardware Drawers 

I keep this little craft drawer set right near my machine. It’s full of prewound bobbins, buttons, needles and more! Here is a similar one on Amazon (with even more drawers!).

Llama Bias Tape and Ribbon Storage 

I like to keep ribbon and bias tape in their original packaging as long as possible, but they inevitably end up loose in a messy box. These little llama holders are easy to make with a Cricut machine and super cute. Bundle them up with your strings, ribbons, bias tape and even elastic!

Unicorn Floss Holders 

Add some magic to your embroidery floss storage with unicorn holders.

Plastic Containers

Use small plastic containers to store notions. Read more about clear tote storage here! 

Store Bobbins in toe separators

Pedicure toe separators are an unlikely sewing room find. But these are great for keeping bobbins wound! Wind up a few colors and keep them handy.
