Flosstube Extra - Floss & Trim Storage

Summary AI

In this Flosstube Extra video, Helen D. gives a tour of her stitching storage solutions, focusing on floss, fabric, trims, and charts. She explains that she uses square Sterilite-style bins for her floss, storing skeins in Floss-Away bags with index cards to keep them organised and stiff. She also shows her finishing fabric storage in stackable bins, sorted by theme such as Christmas, Halloween, and fall, and demonstrates how she folds fat quarters to fit neatly. Helen then moves on to her trim storage, which she keeps in small stackable bins from The Home Edit, organised by colour. She mentions that she often matches trims to her projects by colour rather than planning ahead, and shows how she stores trims from Lady Dot Creates Bits Bags. She also shows a larger adjustable bin from Target that she bought as a replacement for the discontinued smaller ones. Finally, Helen gives a quick tour of her stitching corner, including her recliner, a fan, a small trash can for orts, and a Kindle stand. She points out her 'nerd wall' of video game-themed stitches and mentions her storage closet, which she has taken over with stitching supplies. Throughout the video, she is joined by her cat Emmy, who sits on a heating pad nearby.

Description from YouTube
*Floss Storage*
The exact bin that I use for my floss storage is the Sterilite 6 quart ClearView Latch Storage Box, but it doesn't appear to be available anymore.
This box is just a wee bit bigger, but still square on the bottom.

*Trim Storage*
The smaller stackable bins I use are from The Home Edit, and don't appear to be that easy to find anymore. But there are bins out there that are a similar size.

The larger bin with the divider is available.
