My beloved sewing room! Getting organized!

My haven, my sanitorium, my lab, my escape is my wonderful sewing room! I am a lucky girl for the amount of space I have for sewing. When I first took on sewing as a hobby and started (hoarding) acquiring more fabric, notions, machines, and other STUFF I realized I needed a dedicated space. In my old house I had 3 bedrooms and with just me and my daughter of course I had a a spare room. But the way that house was built, even that room was not enough. It had a non functioning short ceiling basement that could not be used for anything really. I shared my sewing room with 200+ pairs of shoes almost 100 purses and tons of hats. It was the accessory/sewing room plus nail room since I did nails also. Too much huh! I eventually had to move off season stuff to the garage. Even then I was luckier than most. Some folks have no choice but to use the kitchen or dining room. I still have some improvements to make to make it more fun and personal but I'm really pleased.



Here's the NEW room!!!

As you can see I have an L-shaped area for my sewing machines and thank God I can fit all 4 that I use. I have space underneath for my massive ribbon and pattern collection. Space underneath my cutting table for trims, elastics and buttons. I have lots of room for fabric even though it won't all fit on the shelf. I have lots in tubs. The organizer next to fabric is scraps, jewelry, bow-making supplies, and craft items. There is also lots of space near the computer for all of my sewing books, and binders.

All I can say is " THANK YOU JESUS"!!!!!!

HERE'S THE OLD ROOM!!!!

As you can see that I was cramped, and this was AFTER I moved half the shoes and purses out. My ribbon was a mess! I had to use only half of my adjustable cutting table and then there was no space to walk. There wasn't much space at all for my fabric or sewing books.
