Sewing room

The rest of the house is pretty much unpacked–at least enough that we’re comfortable, can find the stuff we need on a day-to-day, and aren’t tripping over boxes or bags of anything–so it’s time for me to start settling into my sewing room. Yes… SEWING ROOM! No more hot dark garage for me! I get my very own room! There is, of course, a catch. The deal was that if I could fit ALL of my craft stuff in the room, then I could have it. I can’t store it in the garage, bedroom, kitchen cupboards, or anywhere else in the house.

No problem, right?

Sewing_room_004_2 Well. I can get all my stuff in there, alright. The problem is actually getting myself in there, getting some manner of sewing table in there, and still being able to find stuff. Oh, my. I have. so. much. stuff.

So. That’s right folks, it’s time to clean out my craft supplies. Books, fabric, yarn, tools–I’m going through everything, and paring way back. Last night I hauled all my yarn into the living room and decided to keep less than half of what I own. I’ll be putting tons (possibly literally) of stuff on ebay over the next couple weeks. Check out the cool supplies I’m selling. If that link doesn’t work, just look for username "Bramblestitches" at www.ebay.com.

With a little luck I’ll having things fairly well cleared out in a couple weeks. As soon as I can start crafting again, I’ll be making up a bunch of cool new tutorials for you that I’ve been promising for ages, like how to make the lined zippered pouches from waaay back, and my pattern for the double-thick crocheted pot holders.

    That green floral knit is pretty! I’m thinking on it… Yes, stashes are a problem…till we find a use for them.

  3. Lisa NYC Says:

    Wow…that’s a lot of stuff to organize.

    Perhaps you might want to take a look at my blog where I’ve posted the latest Sewing Room Organization Challenges:

    HTH! Good luck with your new sewing room!

    With friendship,
