This is the first post of a series called Project Organization. I will be sharing tips from all over on organization our sewing spaces. The first one comes from me, Sandy.
PROBLEM: What to do with all the wonderful rulers we use when quilting. I have had them from one end of my studio (so much more fun to say than sewing room) to the other and never where I think they are when I need them. And I can't tell you how many times I have looked for my 8 1/2" x 21" ruler - I know what you are thinking "how can you misplace something so large?" Well I seemed to find a way, but no longer.
SOLUTION: The back of one door and several 3m repositionable hooks. I am addicted to 3m hooks and picture hangers. Easy peasy to install, no holes and no commitment because they are easy to remove. I'm 2 weeks into the new system and I LOOOVE it! My door is rarely closed so they are out of site but always where they are supposed to be when I need them.

ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy! I am going to do this today with my rulers. Love the idea!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Great idea. Where do you buy those hooks?
ReplyDeletetried to click on the photo for closer look but it wouldn't come up. I too would love to see these hooks closer... Love the idea of no holes on the back of the door.
ReplyDeleteI keep all my rulers in a long window box style flower pot at the end of my cutting table. They're all in there.. all the time ;)
