Recently someone stopped in and told us that lots of animal shelters could benefit from our fabric scraps…
Wha?!
Word on the street is that you can sew a pillowcase shaped ‘sack’ and fill it with your fabric scraps. Once it’s full you’ll stitch it closed and – wallah – a pet bed! We’ve got a pillowcase pinned to our huge cutting table that has been collecting small scraps all week. We’re doing some research to find out which animal shelters may be able to use our handmade pillows and will surely keep you posted.
Lili loves the pillows I make for everyone else in the family – the one in the picture is Liam’s pirate pillow. Of course – I should have made her one ages ago!

We are lucky enough to have a huge area to sew in here at Stitch Cleveland. Although we would love a bit more space to spread out, we are happy to feel cozy with all of our fabric and supplies at our fingertips. Heidi and I are always trying to come up with ways to change our ‘organization’ methods or create more space. We were recently talking about doing a huge sewing machine mural on our back wall and then use small shelves to store our notions.
Today I noticed this post on Kellie’s scraplog. The photos of her sewing room are so neat and clean. Come on, Kellie… come clean… does it always look like this?! I need to know your secret! I always have a hard time organizing those tiny items that seem to pop up…
One thing I don’t think I could live without is shelving and fabric boxes. You can get them in awesome colors and prints and they really hide your fabric stash from hungry eyes! We love the Ikea Billy Bookcase. Target seems to have a great selection of fabric boxes and the print/ color selection changes each season.
What are your secrets for an organized sewing room?
