May's Sewing room of the month goes to…

Well it's done – I finally finished my sewing room – a project two years in the making! This is what I started with:

and these were the walls:

Organized and usable, right? But I wanted something more.

While working within the constraints of my space (a basement room with one small window) not to mention a budget, after two years I saved $2,000.00 (many shoes were sacrificed in the pursuit of my sewing room) and finally, I was able to begin….

Folded yardage. The stuff I use most in the bins turned on their sides (to protect from dust and light) And if you follow along that wall, you'll see:

The frames I use for stretching my fabric on before I paint it, and a little corner:

That has baskets containing my bits and bobs, paints, beads and even more thread!

Underneath my L-shaped tables are baskets containing my dyeing things…

And here's my design wall and Judy.

Thanks so much for coming to visit me – I do hope you'll drop by again!
