I set up some ‘temporary’ shelves with these and they worked so well, they have stayed and I have added to them, one at each end, a shelf resting on them, then another two and another shelf. Work your way up until you have the storage you need.

The small drawers are ideal for storing all sorts of bits and pieces and there is room on the shelves to fit heaps of other items you want to store. If you’re artistic, you can paint on front of each draw what is stored inside, or make up labels.

Don’t throw away herb and spice jars when you have used the herbs, these are ideal for storing buttons, and other types of fasteners.

A cork notice board or pegboard is very handy too. I use both.

If you happen across an office filing cabinet, these are great for storing patterns and fabrics.

We all have those left over fabric pieces, keep similar color tones together in clear plastic zip lock bags, the large ones. You will be surprised at how creative you will become when you see the tonings and prints together.

Patterns are best transferred to plastic sleeves and placed in manila folders with the pattern envelope pasted to the front of the folder.
