How do you keep your sewing supplies together for a bigger quilting project? Is it the bag from the store that had the fabrics in it? The one where you need to take everything out to find what you’re looking for… Or do you have multiple smaller bags or cases in the hope you don’t misplace one and you end up with half a project?
Sewing organization for bigger projects
Keeping it all together, especially when it’s a bigger quilt or project you’re working on can be a challenge. You just need a bigger case and you don’t want to use a big clunky container, but rather a nice stylish case. One that opens up completely so you can see with a single one-second glance where that ruler is you need, or the PHD project bag with all those smaller pieces.
The Chin up Buttercup Case
I present to you the Chin up Buttercup Case. This case is a beautiful, roomy, oval case with a zipper to open up completely, helping you to access everything inside with ease. It measures 16” x 10” x 6” and can probably store 2 Fat Quarter Bundles.
Ideas for sewing organization with the Buttercup Case
What I like to use it for is, as I mentioned above, a complete quilt project. I can bring all my fabric and my special notions, like that one ruler. But also my threads and my pattern. I can also keep my fusible web for applique or materials for English Paper Piecing. Everything I need for my quilting project is together in one handy and gorgeous case.
Other than your bigger quilting project, you can use the Chin up Buttercup Case to store scraps, your favorites, the ones you’d like to keep for another project. Where Fabric Baskets are good for bigger pieces of fabric, the Buttercup Case is perfect for the smaller ones, because it has that handy zipper to close the case.
Other ideas for the Buttercup Case
Besides using the Buttercup Case in your sewing room or for sewing organization, it’s perfect to store clothes or accessories like socks and scarves. Or what about having mittens, caps, and winter shawls? Such a wonderful case to have in your hallway, don’t you think?
Pack your kids' seasonal clothes dust-free in the attic in this roomy case. Or even your lingerie can be discretely packed away. And memories like old photographs and family heirlooms like a baptismal gown are being kept safe from dust and dirt.
You can use it in the kitchen for your seasonal baking supplies, you know the ones we don’t use every week, but only to bake Christmas cookies, Halloween treats, or Valentine cakes. Store them with your oven mitts, Christmas apron, and the headband you use to keep your hair out of your face.
I can come up with 1000 scenarios of when to use the Chin up Buttercup Case. Make one for yourself or one to give as a gift to that special person who is dear to you.
