One of my
goals for this year was to organise my sewing room. I am always in such a hurry to get onto the next project that I let the "junk" accumulate.
But I did it! And it only ended up taking a morning. I cleared out two black garbage bags of scraps. I don't really quilt so who am I kidding keeping all the tiniest of pieces.

I have to be careful anyway as it is not so much a sewing room, but a sewing area. A little corner of the basement that hubby
designed and built for me when I began sewing again.

The cutting table was so piled high with projects that I was using the boys' b
eer pong sorry table tennis table! You can imagine how that went down when they were home!! Now I even have room to display some of the postcards I picked up at the
Ball Gown Exhibition that I went to see in London in summer! Some sewing inspiration!

| Threads arranged by color as far as possible |

That was the easy part. keeping this way is the tough part!!!!
Oh the never ending chore of cleaning, de-cluttering and organizing your sewing room. I love the big cutting board you have. My sewing room used to be in the basement but my husband went away to a conference and I moved it all upstairs to the spare bedroom. Its a lot warmer and I use the bed for holding onto half-finished projects.
ReplyDeleteI did think of turning one of the boy's rooms in to a sewing room. Maybe they wouldn't even notice when they came home in summer??!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! My sewing room is a complete disaster area, it's even started spilling out of the room at the moment but I'll be fixing that part at least prior to guests coming this weekend.
