Take a moment to clear your sewing table of everything but your sewing machine. Think about what you really need at hand when you are sitting and sewing. (Usually it’s pins, needles, thread nips, pin cushion, and seam ripper.) Go gather those things from the far regions of your sewing area, or home, and bring them back to your sewing table. Find a fun pencil cup or glass and pincushion while you’re gathering. Set your collection of tools up in a pleasing manner with in arms reach of your sewing station.

If you can’t find thread nips or your seam ripper then consider restocking these sweet tools from Wish.

If your pin cushion or pencil cup is looking a bit too plain check out the fun Pin Cushion Caddy pattern in Seams to Me by Anna Maria Horner, Cupcakes by Lynne Koolish,  or Henrietta Turtle  and Effie and Ollie by Heather Bailey.

Effie and Ollie stuffies and Henrietta stuffie by Heather Bailey Stow and Go - great for when you have limited space around your sewing machine. Anna Maria Horner's pincushion caddy is just the thing to keep everything at fingertip reach! I can tell I'm going to need to make another one before I can get this one out of the shop. ;) Great book for projects to help neaten up your sewing space - fabric boxes for patterns, pin cushion caddy for keeping important things near, magnetic design board... Anna Maria Horner's fabric boxes are great for storing patterns and fabric.

What did you find to keep your tools in reach? Let us know. We love hearing your ingenious ideas.

Jennifer is the designer of these beautiful children’s clothes. She is a stay-at-home mom of 5 children and the owner of  5lilMunchkins, an online children’s boutique. She has 4 boys and 1 girl which is why she has so much fun creating these little girl outfits. These were made using Heather Bailey’s Nicey Jane and Sandi Henderson’s Meadowsweet. Jennifer is a little camera shy so I do not have a picture of her (yet)…you can usually see her at Wish on Thursday evenings. If you are short on time or need a quick gift, I highly recommend 5lilmunchkins!
