In sewing land also: Mum brought me a nice big tin to put sewing supplies in, and now I have to figure out what to shuffle where so I have the optimum arrangement of things in tins in the correct tins.

In sewing land also: Mum brought me a nice big tin to put sewing supplies in, and now I have to figure out what to shuffle where so I have the optimum arrangement of things in tins in the correct tins. The new one is the size of a breakfast plate so quite large, and my optimising insistent brain doesn't like the idea of wasting any of that space.

Now I have six sewing supplies tins. That should perhaps be enough for a little bit.

@sinituulia this makes me feel better about my two... What sort of tins do you use ?
-
@quixoticgeek Terrible photo, but true to life... Apart from one which is where a gift set of sewing thread came in they're just whatever tins supermarkets offer sometimes. Whenever there's a tin that doesn't look entirely too much like a specific holiday, I just get it.

@quixoticgeek One of them, the silver one closer to the front is what I put my most used stuff in, because it has the little knob and a hinge to easily open it with one hand, whereas the others I need two hands for. That one's from Ikea who knows how many years ago, it's great.
-
@sinituulia @quixoticgeek I think it's no longer sold, and it's a shame because it's quite a nice tin box!
(I have two, bought when they were on sale, and keep my postcards and letters in them, rather than sewing supplies)
