everyone it's Wendy and this is so it begins it's a series where I'm breaking down some
sewing basics so that you could actually get started with sewing in the first episode I
covered sewing supplies to get you started in the second one we talked about sewing machines and in
this one I'm gonna give you some advice on how to store and organize your supplies and machines once
it all comes in if you love a good declutter and organized OCD I really hope this video delivers
on all of that pleasing and satisfying aesthetic this video is sponsored by buns which is a local
trading up you've heard me talk about it before I love it and so I wanted to share that as one of
the sustainable options for how to move things along and I will close off with some storage
options if you have just a little bit of sewing stuff if you're on your way and if you're like
me and have a whole room dedicated to sewing I'm going to be mentioning a lot of different links
so don't forget to check in the description and here's me wishing future Wendy the best
I hope she succeeds at figuring out this video first up my room is really messy right now so
it feels so good
ain't no I didn't think I had a lot of clothes but you'd be surprised
take one this box I believe I have been keeping fancy dresses and skirts that I've made like it
feels weird to sell my stuff but it feels weird to keep it forever when I'm not gonna wear it and
then this box underneath this is where I keep my transitional clothing doing a winter summer
stuff is here and in the summer winter so for the items that I feel like I can still get value out
of I've been using an app called buns as you guys probably know and here people throw stuff
that they're looking to trade they feel like it's not garbage yet and it could still get some love
in someone else's hands so I go here I can take a photo let me just do this so I can show you how it
works and then here we can make it whatever it's called describe it and we can publish it earlier
today I posted my old iPhone cases gave me up for that banana protector her faux hair curlers
Marvel contact paper these are the storage boxes that I decided I don't need anymore so people can
check out photos of them there's a little map to show what region I'm in I think people have
already been messaging me about those so with this person she's interested in my crepe paper so we're
talking about that this person I'm getting rid of my IKEA desk and I noticed that she has shoe spray
I don't know who's really winning out of this but I'm happy about it so there we are sorry if you're
looking to declutter give buns a try it kind of just takes enough people in a neighborhood to
get it going and then there's so much fun to be had Dan always complains that I'm kind of
addicted it's kind of nice too because there's a sustainability aspect in me passing on something
instead of throwing in the trash and also me getting something from other people that didn't
have to get thrown into their trash and one last thing I also to help with this whole organization
well to help with this whole organization set up that we're doing I spent some bits
is like a digital currency inside buns I got this basket look who can hate on a nice wire basket I
got this from a store in my neighborhood that accepts this thank you I can put in my own bag
give everything you've got I can't get enough that I can stop something started got the feeling
no Dan is going to help me show how I organized I didn't know I was a guest in this I'm just taking
I'm just filming I think this is where I sit to do my sewing I can link all of the supplies in
the description so I don't have to describe it all my chair I sit here and then down here this has
been really helpful but I just slide out a lot of my supplies here so that I can grab it real quick
this is like a cute way to keep your dustbin out of sight but also on this giant piece of furniture
is a Murphy bed and this is an Ikea locker system that I've got and inside each coat of that I just
try to store it based on similar things this is all like electronics knowing supplies just
personal stuff and then up here this is where I keep my extra fabric so the general thing I try
to stick to when organizing fabric it is that you should organize it based on season you'll be much
more reminded of the fabric that you have because you'll see it this one is not fabric at all just
more sewing supplies but it's high up here because it's stuff that I don't touch as much so I'll just
keep it up there okay now for season summer slash formal wear Cotton's gingham linens they're all
here decorative pretty fabric you might recognize some of these and then up here I've got some mesh
this is leftover from a workshop I did last year and I really how to use it because I have here is
my winter stuff the faux fur wool I'm like heavy tarry more wool ribbed mix like what Mary Kondo
teaches folding it in a way where you can see all of it so that you do not forget that they
exist and then accidentally buying more fabric which happens all the time no one can relate to
that pegboard just because this is Mike wants to view a space it's kind of nice to actually put
all my tools where I can see them and reach them easily actually really AM into this bobbin thing
cuz they're just like they hold it so perfectly little basket these are from the dollar store
these are just like the standard storage units you can get I got all my threads there and then
here I try to make it feel like a little shop so I have all my supplies hanging and you can
see the elastics ribbons regular zippers invisible splash duct reduce a burst and then down here is
just like a mess of projects waiting to happen my sewing machine and my Judy the backdrops oh yeah I
like my whole mess of tripods and then this is the backdrop system super easy to use I just adjust
these to change the colors all I have ever needed to film my little sequences even though it looks
like I have a big backdrop could be bigger but maybe someday so that's what my place looks like
when I get to use a whole room for my sewing and filming setup if you have your own sewing space
I'd really recommend pegboard some lockers and then inside the lockers just do like all kinds
of clear storage so you can see all the stuff that you have and then the other thing I really love
is my under the desk drawer because then I don't even have to get up from my chair it's just like
sit there grab the things I need and keep going thank you buns for sponsoring this video last
time I talked about bun to a whole bunch of you jumped on it and added me which was so sweet if
you want to train with me I'm in the GTA and you can find me on fund with Wendy and that's
it for this third episode of so it begins let me know what you want to see in episode 4 bye
