This supply case is a great way to stay organized at home or while crafting on the fly. I love this because it folds up neatly for storage or travel, but when I want to work from my home studio, I can hang it up on my pretty hook and get to sewing. Now all my sewing tools are in one space. ...
We don’t always get to sew as much as we’d like. It’s sad when dust spends more time on your sewing machine than you do. Not only does it prove how long it’s been since you last sewed a stitch, but it’s not good for your machine. This pretty little sewing machine cover is filled with helpful pockets. Keep the sewing machine manual in the large one and your tools in the small ones. ...
Let’s get creative with our ironing space. This project can turn any flat surface into an ironing station. So look around your craft/sewing room; maybe a bookshelf or dresser can be retrofitted into an ironing table. By doing so, you can eliminate your ironing board and make room for something new. Don’t have a permanent craft room? You can still make this and stash it between uses. ...

Who doesn’t love a good basket? Wire, wicker, or wooden; vintage or brand new—they keep life neat and tidy. So why not spruce them up! Make them pretty—and practical! ...
When it comes to windows, I’m opinionated. I don’t want fussy cornices or valances, and nothing is allowed to swag! It’s just not my thing. I prefer white linen for shades and sheers. The quality of light that comes through white linen is bright and sunny. This is a casual, unlined Roman shade that is inset into the window trim. I’ve added some lovely ribbon to tie it in with my decor. ...
I proudly possess a quilt that was handed down to me by my grandma, my Grr! It’s a beloved family heirloom. I don’t know how many times I’ve wrapped a sick child in it or how many movies we watched while cuddling under it. It’s not fancy. No, it’s not even pretty; it’s ripped, torn, and stained—and I love every bit of its 1960s crazy-quilt madness.
