If there’s one thing we love (almost) as much as sewing, it’s organising our sewing space! A tidy, well-organised sewing room makes it easier to find what you need, stay inspired, and spend more time stitching rather than searching.
At Patterntrace, many of our favourite products were designed to solve everyday sewing storage frustrations — from tangled threads to lost pattern pieces. Here’s how you can use our range to create a calm, creative, and beautifully organised sewing room.
We’ve all been there — a drawer full of loose threads, tangled bobbins, and no idea which one matches which. That frustration led to the creation of our SpoolPods, a clever way to store your threads and their matching bobbins together.
Made from flexible silicone, SpoolPods gently grip your spools and bobbins so they stay put — no more unravelled thread nests! They stretch to fit different reel sizes (including Gutermann, Coats, and Aurifil) and keep everything tidy whether you’re sewing at home or on the go.
Take your thread organisation to the next level with our SpoolPod Storage Box — the perfect companion to your Patterntrace SpoolPods. This durable, clear plastic box keeps up to ten SpoolPods neatly in place, so your threads and bobbins stay organised, visible, and dust-free.
Designed to be both practical and space-saving, the box features a custom-fit interior, a secure snap-lock lid, and a stackable design that makes the most of your sewing space. Whether you’re storing your favourite thread colours or preparing for a workshop, everything stays tidy and ready to sew.
✨ Perfect for: Keeping your SpoolPods clean, organised, and easy to grab whenever inspiration strikes.
Our Sewing Pattern Storage Envelopes are one of the most-loved products in our range — and for good reason! These sturdy, reusable envelopes are perfect for keeping your original patterns safe alongside your traced copies or printed PDFs.
There’s even space on the front to jot down key details such as size adjustments, fabric choices, and fitting notes — so you’ll never forget what worked best.
If you love keeping track of your makes, our My Sewing Workbook is the ultimate planning companion.
This little book will become a treasured archive of your sewing projects over time. We pour so much love into each garment—choosing the perfect fabric, making fitting tweaks, adding personal touches—but even though you’ll think you can remember them, often those valuable details can slip away once you start on the next project. Having them all in one place means you can flip back later, remember exactly how you tackled a tricky neck binding, or which interfacing made your collar sit just right. It’s a nostalgic walk through your sewing journey that you can feel really proud of and a huge time-saver for your future projects!
Hands up if you’ve ever bought the same fabric twice because you forgot you already had it! 🙋♀️ Our Fabric Swatch Book helps you take control of your fabric collection.
Add a small swatch of each fabric and note the details — fabric type, composition, purchase info, how much you have, and where it’s stored. Next time you’re planning a project, you can flip through your swatch book instead of rummaging through boxes and drawers.
Our Needle Store is a compact, recycled plastic box designed to keep your machine needles organised. It features eight compartments, a sheet of stickers to label by type or size, and a soft “fuzzy” pad in each section to separate used needles from new ones.
Whether you sew with universal, jersey, or denim needles, you’ll always know what’s what.
Ever popped to the fabric shop and realised you’ve forgotten how much fabric you need, or what length zip to buy? Our Garment Planner Notepad takes the guesswork out of shopping trips.
Simply jot down your fabric, notions, and thread requirements for each project, then tear off the sheet to take with you. No more guesswork — just confident, organised sewing.
