This year Kerry Goulder (@kidgiddy) is running a weekly photo prompt series on Instagram. Each week a guest posts a theme for people to interpret and this week it’s my turn with ‘Bobbin Along’
I’m asking for a little help with my post though. That lot above is all my bobbins for Big Brother (we’re not going there on Felicity Featherweight’s bobbins, although there’s considerably less of them). At the moment they live in a box, and I grabbed some Bobbin Buddies from Simply Solids a few weeks ago for when I travel and just want one or two spools and bobbins with me.:
The thing is, as you can see above, they’ve outgrown their box (which was never designed for bobbins anyway) and I can’t afford a million and one Bobbin Buddies, so I’m wondering, how do you store your bobbins? Do you have a better solution for me? Answers in the comment box!
I’ve found containers at a local hardware store that are intended to hold screws and small fasteners. They have compartments that allow me to group color families which makes finding just the right bobbin for the project I’m working on quickly. I’ve been spending less by buying most of my storage containers there rather than the fabric and crafts stores.
In my mother in laws sugar bowl but I clearly don’t have as many bobbins as yiu Katie
I have a donut thing for bobbins , in fact I have a *hem* few!
