Wondering why things are a little quiet here on the sewing front? Well, I've embarked on the mother of all organizing projects. Or should I say mother-in-law of all organizing projects? You see, Jeff's mom, Joan, was here for Thanksgiving, and she's an organizing guru. She offered her help to re-do my sewing room, which was a disaster area. I'm really lucky, because I don't know how I would have done it without her!
We spent Thanksgiving day going through stuff and sorting, and then the next day we made an Ikea pilgrimage.
First, Joan suggested using a currently empty wall as a storage space. So what you see above is my new
Expedit unit, filled with
Drona boxes and
Kassett boxes.
The Dronas are primarily fabric storage. Readers, I went through each piece of fabric I own, and measured its width and length. Then I labeled a swatch that is kept pinned to the outside of the box so I know what's inside.
This basically took me forever. But I'm pretty sure it's going to change my life.
Oh! I also spruced up an old lampshade with pompom trim!
I also organized my sewing magazines.
Even though it's looking good at this point, I still have a lot of work to do. I hope I can get through it quickly, because I'd really like to start sewing again. Wish me luck!
