Heyhey,
I remembered I started a post series about how I organize my sewing supplies a while ago, but could not remember why I stopped. So I thought I might just start again and hope you are still interested in it.
Here is how I keep my threads organized:
This shelf is mostly used to keep all my different kinds of thread in order.
 my overlock-threads take up quite some space
the normal sewing threads I keep in this boxes, organized by color
then I also have those 2 boxes
in the green box I keep my bobbins, I have different sewing machines that require different bobbins, so I try to keep it all organized in there. I keep buying more and more bobbins, because for some reason I never seem to have enough. Do you have that problem as well?
In the white box I keep my thicker threads, for original looking seams on denim-pants, markings inside a pattern piece or buttonholes, if the terrible day comes and I have to do them by hand. I am so happy I have a machine for buttonholes.
Well this are my threads, thinking of it, its quite a big selection, even though for some reason I often pick fabrics that don’t match any of the threads I already have and then I go and buy some more…
How big is you thread collection and how do you keep it organized?
keep sewing and smiling

I’ve got them grouped by colour in bins too. I always buy matching thread when I start a new project.
do you check before if you already have the right color? I sometimes bought the same color again…
No, most times I go to the fabric shop thinking I want to make a … Let’s say… Blue print shirt… So if I find the blue print I get thread to match, which just might be the same as what I have at home. Sometimes I say I want to use the red fabric in my stash. Then I check at home for zippers, thread, and stuff. But the fabric, pattern and supplies stash just continues to grow! 😃 not something I am really sorry about though!
as long as there is enough space to store the stash 😉 I gave quite a few fabrics away a while ago, just because I did not have the space for it, and it was mostly colors that do not fit my style anymore
[…] you like the reminder or have not been here 7 years ago, you can find the old post here. I fear my collection did grow a little. 😉 I will do an extra post about the threads for my […]
