Wherever the clutter lives in your home, Sew Useful has a solution. Here, well-known sewing expert and TV personality Debbie Shore shares a wealth of easy-to-follow storage projects -- such as a chair-back caddy, a gift wrap container, or a heat-proof pouch for hair styling tools -- all of which can be sewn by hand or with a basic sewing machine. For further tips on conquering clutter through sewing, try Heidi Staples' Sew Organized for the Busy Girl.
