Picture one of my one sewing wall. Cleaned up. I hope to redo room totally in another year. Pic 2 is same pile in need of the ironing. Pic 3 next wall with computer and shelfs for paper,cardstock,etc. Ignore lol the upolstery fabric box next to desk between sewing wall. I am not sure guess this will be a ufo. It needs used up. Or I will rephase that UFO equals Used for others. Most of my projects end up this way. Pic 4 is my baskets wall which baskets have fleece,organiza, faux leather, more upolstery, felt , towels, white fabrics. At end of that other computer my hubby comes up does his type forum stuff on. Pic 5 is last wall It has burlap, more bolts of fabric. Serger. I have 6 machines but three I use mostly. One day I would love to have commercial machine but right now I love what I have. The table I pull out from time to time. So this is my clubhouse and I thought would share it cleaned up for a change of pace. Now that I have color coordnated baskets and wall things will hopefully go more effectively.

I got my answer to that yesterday afternoon when I looked out window and lo and behold I had a squirrel on window ledge starring in at me. He does that every once while to stir my dog up.

I can't test out the hall it is close to stairs not a good idea. If I grow any more it is new room or building.

You are so organized. I am stuffed so tight into a small room that my stuff is now stacked and stocked through the entire upstairs. My husband tells people I can't shut the door or the room would explode.

Wow! You have a great load of fabric and so organized. I definitely have to get at it. We're moving long distance in a month and I'll get organized in the new house! I told hubby that he "owes" me a big sewing room to make up for moving so far from family. Lol --Sandra

What an amazing room. I am so envious. I have to tidy away everything after using my machines as I just have a sewing corner in my sitting/ day room. All my materials are in baskets in cupboards in my spare bedroom.

I have this room together but believe me a couple others around here need help. My dining room is tore apart I don't eat at a table. I eat at a bar style table set up in kitchen on stool. I hope for an addition to turn into large room with dining off kitchen area and the room that was dining into a spare room for guests or my mother if needed, and for my weaving loom. I have been itching to set up for over 2 years. I hope you can see ways and get to where you would like to be and accomplish. I am glad I have this and at times wonder if I need to just grow a building. Would be nice if it worked that way. hugs Mary

Hi Mary,I am doing mine.I need to get some clear containers for my fabrics,so I can see what I have.I would like smaller ones,so I could handle them better,but I have to stack and I am afraid the bottom ones will break with the load.

I would have loved closet doors on one wall but you do what you can as it comes. The white baskets pictured 4 have wheels on bottom I loved the handle. I pull those out and have fleece folded large size one and smaller stacks in another. One has towels, one white fabrics, one larger felt. Above those is smaller baskets sturdy on shelf so they pull back or out and I have from organza in two, upholstery squares three, vinyl faux leather one and smaller felt in one. Lol and few misc hides behind the baskets. I measured and went out digging till I was content with what I knew I could do with at the time. I know some stack nice if you can only go with stack and I am sure you will have a great looking room. This room is 12x14 one side ceiling sloped so that kept me from a nice 8 foot wall on that one basket side or it would have been done different and I am sure looked more spacious. I am happy and that is what counts. hugs

Thanks Maria, and lol I do sometimes still need a yd or two as what is there may not be color,fabric type or something I just got the urge for. I do pass up some these days but lol I do look just the same. I never turn down fabric someone throwing away. That just bothers me knowing it could be something special for someone.

Very nice room!!! I love your stash too, we can't have too much can we? I thought Toogie had more than me then I looked at it again and thought well I have a lot too but yet bought some more at Hobby Lobby on sale, hahaha!!! Then you know when you see me on here, my fabric isn't getting sewn so the stash will just grow. It I can pry my little fingers off the keyboard then maybe.............
