Well, I made some progress on my sewing room. I folded fabric on some existing shelves using chipboard as you can see on the left here. I think the vertical filing will work out much better than my previous piles, but it’s the putting things back in their proper place that’s the real problem, isn’t it? When I had a desk job, I always cleaned and organized papers on Friday afternoons before I went home, but being at home all the time, my sewing room is always disorganized. In addition to the existing shelves, I bought a bookshelf from IKEA for notions, boxes and baskets, and hung a pegboard. Then I painted our old CD shelf (above, right) for fat quarters and half yards. Now my husband has to go through all his CDs that I boxed up. Out with the old.
But of course before I finished organizing, I’ve started sewing again. Making a baby quilt, possibly two of them.
And to make you feel better if you haven’t been organized lately, here’s the basket of fabric bits yet to be folded and put away.
Next, I need to add a design wall and figure out a nice way to store an ironing board. Do you quilters out there have any ideas for a design wall that looks good? I was thinking of just wrapping some white flannel around a large frame and hanging it on the wall, but that still doesn’t sound so great. I’d love to hear your ideas.
