Here are a few of our favorite storage tips for the drapery and upholstery workroom. |
| Staple cloth tool belts to the frame of your worktable to store commonly used items like scissors, tape measures, pencils and seam rippers. |
 |
| John Quine, Brook Design in Lancashire, UK shared this clever idea. John recycled thread cones into a neat and tidy scissor storage area. |
 |
| Use potholders to store large upholstery needles. The little hanging loop will allow you to keep them handy at your work area. |
 |
| Gather up fabric on shirring tape and staple to the wooden frame, or sew rod pocket panels and add 3/8" brass rods with brackets to your utility tables to keep supplies hidden and free from dust. |
 |
| To keep cardboard tack strip neat and tidy, add an X of hot melt glue or masking tape across one side. No more tangled tack strip. |
 |
| Use small storage bins with compartments to keep button forms, small sized grommets and hardware components organized. Plus you will be able to see when stock is getting low at a quick glance. |
