Beautiful biscuit tins make the perfect storage. I expected to find more little scissors when I opened the lid but it turned into a real treasure trove ... cutting blades, hole punches, papercraft scissors and embroidery scissors among other things.
Declutter Day 10 - Pins/Needles/Clips
My pins are reasonably under control ... the circle of pins have joined a pincushion and the dressmaking pins are released.
Needles on the other hand ... I now have oodles of hand sewing needles for all occasions and shouldn't have to buy machine needles for a good while either. All are neatly in 2 of these small containers alongside other bits and bobs. Clips are rounded up also. Day 10 - done.
Declutter Day 11 - Irons, Rulers, Mats
I have a small iron set up in the craftervan and then just my regular (clothing) fabric iron. There could be a tiny seam iron somewhere but I will need to dig further for that so I'm calling Day 11 - done.
Declutter Day 12 - Sewing Stations/Machines
Not much needing done for today ... these have been tended too while sorting previous days. I would like to make a nice cover for my embroidery machine so that will be a project to make a start on soon. Day 12 - Done.
You may notice a new 'LIST' on my left sidebar ... this is to keep me on track and remember to address those days that don't have an * yet. Let me know if any particular day resonates with you ... or maybe you've come across a treasure trove of ah-ha items.
You’re doing a great job with the de-cluttering.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice find in the tin.

ReplyDeleteI rather like tins like that with forgotten useful items!

Pretty tins do often hide surprises. Your finds will be very handy, once they are in an obvious spot. I wouldn’t have to do anything for those declutter days, as they are surprisingly under control. However, when I was cleaning my sewing room in readiness for my new machine I ventured to open my vintage Edward’s Tea tin. I was surprised to find some of my clothes and a shoulder bag from my teenage years. I just closed the lid on it for another day. LOL
