Grateful for Giveaways! (Sew Grateful Day One)

Day One of Sew Grateful Week is Giveaway Day!  I am grateful for all the opportunities to win patterns, gift certificates, machines, fabric - you name it, in the online sewing world.  I am also grateful for simple storage solutions that help keep my sewing sundries from taking over the house, or becoming a jumbled mess.  The BobbinSaver is one of those great products - so that is what I am offering this week to my friends in the sewing community.

The Bobbin Saver is a simple solution for bobbin storage.  Unlike plastic cases, it doesn't have part that will break or crack.  Who wants a plastic bobbin case with a cracked cover or a broken hinge, or worse yet, one that isn't broken and doesn't stay closed anyway?  Also, the bobbins stay in the ring, even if the ring is dropped on the floor.  No doors to fall open and let bobbins fall out and get tangled!  You can easily see your bobbins at-a-glance, and it works for both plastic and metal bobbins (unlike the magnetic bobbin catchers).  Each BobbinSaver holds at least 20 bobbins.  You can place the Bobbin Saver upside down (so bobbins are down, and plastic ring is up), if you want to prevent dust from accumulating on your threaded bobbins.

I can purchase the Bobbin Saver for less than $7 at my local Dealer/Repair Shop, which is cheaper than the amazon.com price for one.  Wawak has a great price on them, assuming they are the same item.  The listing says they are made by Grabbit.

You can enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter entry form below.  Giveaway is for one (1) BobbinSaver and shipping (yes, if you win, I will go ahead and ship internationally!).  It will run from Monday, February 24 through Friday, February 28, and I will announce and contact the winner on Saturday March 1.  Good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway

File Your Fabric - Fabric Storage Solution

I love this fabric storage solution!  My friend found the idea on Pinterest, and I found it from her.  I do not have a sewing room, and all my work is done at the kitchen table.  I need a place to keep fabric and other sewing materials other places around the house.  It also needs to be secure from my children, especially my youngest who is just over one year old and loves getting in to my thread and fabric whenever she can get her hands on it!  I have between 1 and 3 yards of each fabric stored in this file drawer (the blue fabric with the large white flowers and green leaves shows what three yards looks like).   My friend took the folder off the metal hanging bars and just used the bars to hang her fabric.  I kept the folder in tact and used it to keep receipts, scraps, and to tuck coordinating remnants in.
