Extra Details:

I’m trying to buy fewer supplies overall — just better versions of the essentials that make crafting feel more efficient and enjoyable.

Upgrading to Fiskars RazorEdge fabric shears ruined every other pair of scissors for me.

I used to think cutting fabric was just… annoying? Turns out my scissors were just bad. These glide through thick canvas like butter and actually cut straight. Zero hand strain. Feels very “pro studio,” not “arts & crafts drawer.”

If I had a small multipurpose DIY room like yours, I’d personally mix: pegboard (vertical) + modular drawers (hidden) + one “active project” basket. That combo keeps it clean but still super functional.
