magnetic sewing room catch all
June 14, 2011
i remember seeing this project way back when on the farm chicks blog and have kept it in mind all this time! with a simple magnetic knife strip and some cute fabric, you can have a sewing room catch all in no time.
supplies:
- magnetic knife strip (mine is from ikea)
- spray adhesive (optional)
- glue gun
- scissors
- fabric to recover with
directions:
cut the fabric into a long rectangle big enough to wrap around the edges of your magnetic strip. spray with adhesive and tack into place. using a hot glue gun, secure the fabric to the back side. mount according to instructions and voila!
what do you think? a magnetic strip next to my sewing area has been the most useful thing. it not only holds scissors, but spare needles and seam rippers, too!

i LOVE this! Such a pretty and useful idea. I am definitely going to try this when I move into my new house :)
thanks for the inspiration! i’ve been thinking about doing something similar for my chalk board to hold the tin of chalk. very cute!
I like it! I organized my sewing room this month (it took 3 weekends) and I need one of these, maybe 2.
That is a great idea! I need one asap.
Now THIS is very cool and so easy! I’m certainly bookmarking and noting for my studio redo – which will happen – some day.
what a wonderful and easy project. must make me one of those. gorgeous.
