New Year, New Sewing Room

Ever since the move last April my sewing supplies, craft supplies and fabrics have been stored in boxes in the basement, stacked and jammed under the basement stairway.  I'd pulled a few things out over the months but to find anything was daunting to say the least.  We were too busy outside all summer and fall to think about much handwork but I was really starting to miss having my sewing space.  Now however, the south bedroom upstairs has been freed up - this bedroom with all it's lovely natural daylight was earmarked for my sewing room.  Bless Pete's heart for carrying all the heavy boxes from the basement up two flights of stairs.  He also bought four sets of cubicle units for organizing fabrics and crafts.  It's amazing how much stuff I need for all my interests!  Here are a few pictures of the current status.  It will evolve over time but for now, there's a place for everything and everything in it's place.   I'm over the moon happy about it!

Here's where the heavy work gets done.  My sewing machine on the left, my serger on the right and all my threads out where I can access them.  It might look messy but believe me, there's a method to my madness in this space!

Inside this armoire is my embroidery machine and embroidery supplies.  There's also shelf room to store the WIPS (works in progress).

Half of the whole-wall closet is now filled with fabric and patterns.  Yes, I've signed the paper allowing my family to commit me to an asylum if I bring home more fabric!

Fabrics are sorted according to color and application.  Loosely sorted but I know where to look when I need something.

What is it about cats and baskets?  Whit walked in and in two seconds claimed this one for his own.  It's not even comfortable in there but he had to try it on for size.  I MIGHT have enough fabric to make him a comfortable cushion...

If I need to re-charge in the middle of a project I can catch a few winks on the twin bed!

Now we can finally get to the boxes of art and wall hangings that were buried behind all the sewing boxes.  The walls are crying for some art up here.

I have a small office upstairs and Pete put two sets of cubicles in there for more of my craft supplies.
