Sewing Machine Needle Organization

I sew everything from purses to clothing and am constantly switching needles. The problem with doing that in the same project is you get lazy and set the needle down next to another and other than the size, it's too tedious to try and figure out what needle is for what. Especially if you don't know the color code. This was a quick and dirty fix using items I already had at home.

Materials used:
Piece of scrap cushion foam (1 inch) from a previous project. The foam works cause it won't damage your needle.
Piece of thin ribbon or yarn would do
School glue
Piece of paper for your labels

For the label I just put what the package said and then included the size.

Step 1:
Cut foam

 Step 2:
Make label. I made mine three or four across each row. Set aside.

 Step 3:
Use a long need to run a piece of ribbon through the foam. You could also pass it the short way and tie. I didn't want the ribbon getting in the way.

 Step 4:
Glue the label to the foam.

 Step 5:
Tie the string, stick in your needles per the labels and voila. No more confusing needles.
