Storing sewing stuff

I am in need of something to store all my sewing stuff like threads, elastics, ribbons, hook and loop etc in as currently it's all getting tangled up in a shoe box!!! I just went to dunelm to see what they have but unsuccessful. How do you store your things?

I use an array of 'really useful' boxes

These being my fans for little things like buttons and threads



There are also some nice sewing boxes on ebay.

My main stuff (seam ripper, pins, safety pins, needles etc) are in a proper sewing box (along with a load of other crap that i need to sort out ).

Threads are in a little mini 2 drawer unit like this http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSear ... D=33871387 but thinner and with 2 drawers instead of 3.

My ribbons, zips and other fastenings are together in an old biscuit tin, my snaps and snap press in another, my appliques and sew on/iron on pathches in another. I have one of the above 3 drawer units for bits and bobs too.

I really want one of these http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSear ... D=34147962

But dh won't let me buy one as i don't know what i'd use it for

I have Ikea ones; http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/80100029

Most of bits and bobs are in here.. top threads in the top drawer, overlocking threads and cones in the 2nd drawer rulers, weights, sewing machine feet and tools... etc in the rest. Patterns not yet put into pattern card are laying flat in on with the rulers...



and here.. ( I have four of these though!) I use these for ribbons, elastics, velcro, binding, labels etc


The rest is scattered round my room on a messy day like today LOL


hahhaha.. clean day... it takes me half a day to get it back to this.. everything folded.. put in its place. and the cutting table cleared LOL



and the rest of the time it looks like this

Im going to be getting some of the "really useful" bozes next week. Have looked all around town but could find anything
