Sewing Room Update {2016 WIP #2}
7:00:00 AMI have been working a teensy bit on my sewing space over Christmas.
My mom is here visiting, and she's absolutely crazy about organization - and gets me motivated to plug away on my space whenever she's here.
I've been meaning to put a shelf above my front basement window since we moved in last February, where I could display my little stash of precuts (mostly Bonnie and Camille, Kate Spain and V and Co. hoards).
Mom helped me to get the shelf up since my husband has been out of commission since back surgery in December.
She even picked me up a few little decorations to make the shelf pretty - a "HAPPY" sign and a cute little star marquee.
She's also been sorting through my stash, and slowly, I've been adding some of the things I don't need to my Etsy store (check out my destash there! Gooseberry and Wrens and Friends to name a few...)
I'll be adding more to my destash there soon. I have to pare down, and, it's all going in to my longarm fund. I'm bound and determined to buy one. And like I said in this post {here}, if you're not using it, sell it!
As well, I finally got my swap quilts up - one from Rossie Crafts and the other from @sheenarichmond on IG. I think they look awesome beside my pixelated sewing machine.
Well, my sewing space is a continuing WIP. It's going to take me years to get it to where I want it, but that's okay. I'll make it my own, make it perfect in my eyes!
Linking up to Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.

Wow! That's really using every bit of space.
ReplyDeleteI have the pleasant problem of having too many windows and not enough wall space in my basement! Once I get it fixed up, it'll be much brighter I'm sure. The white paint has really helped already!

Deletenice stash that you have there - I see you have a Frivol box up on that shelf - I am getting the whole set but haven't started to use any of them still, thinking about what to make but I am leaning towards a set of small quilts
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your progress. I am trying to get my sewing room in order. It's slow going because I have to wait long periods of time in between visits from my daughter to do the heavier stuff. It'll happen. You room is looking wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, but I couldn't get past eyeing all those bundles of precuts...
ReplyDeleteSuch a great use of space!
