The Real Studio Tour, Week 2

 

Today's topic for the Real Studio Tour is my favorite storage method. That would be the clear plastic bins in which I store my small fabric scraps.

I have about twenty of these little bins, and my little scraps are sorted by color. Each bin is labelled.

 When I need to clean up, I line up the boxes and put the scrap bits where they belong. This way the scraps are stored relatively wrinkle-free. Since I use a lot of little pieces when I make my free-pieced letters, this keeps them organized, neat, clean, and easily accessible.

The little bins are labelled so it's easy to find what I need. They are Accessory Boxes from The Container Store.



What's really nice about them is they are stackable with other plastic storage bins from the Container Store.  Two accessory bins nest perfectly on one of the Container Store's Mens' Shoeboxes, and four of them fit perfectly on one of their "Sweater boxes." The boxes are inexpensive and always available.

Another really nice thing about them is whenever I need to order more, I know they will be the same size as the ones I already have.
