Eventually, I’ll get my sewing machine in here again and that’ll of course go on top of this little cart. In the meantime, here it is all filled up.

The two bottom baskets are full of fabric for various projects I’m working on. I was planning to make the little guy a rag quilt and this was the fabric I picked out for it. The lime/aqua/navy matches his space.

The next two baskets are ribbon, fiber, & thread organized by color family in 13×15 Clear Zipper bags. These are the same bags I use to organize my kits & collections. Love them!
