It's finished for now

I've opened and put away the last box.  I've cleaned off the sewing table top...which had become the drop off station for anything I wasn't sure where to put it.  I've marked almost everything...still need to bring my label-maker home from work to add a few labels to things.  And my inspiration board still needs to be tacked up...but other than that my sewing room is finished and waiting to be used.


Here are a few pics:

 My button & closing shelves

(This use to reside in the armoire in my bedroom)

The first bookshelf

(holds patterns, tv & computer equipment

plus the books my parents had)

 The second bookshelf that is currently 

holding my sewing library in bins, 

as well as my thread collection.

The books will be taken out of the bins later.

Cutting table (side view)

Ikea piece - this use to hold clothing in my

bedroom closet - now it holds all of the

items that use to reside in my armoire.

I haven't tried the room out yet and I still have to find a place to put my ironing board permanently, so as of now it will have to be taken up and down for every use.  However, I believe I will gain some space once the new fabric closets arrive. This is what I ordered from Lowes:

After these are assembled and placed against the wall where the fabric bins now reside, I will gain some space and a place for the ironing board.  For right now I will improvise.  I did manage to keep all of the pieces of McCalls 6395 together during the move so I'm going to see if I can finish that dress up today.  My mojo isn't all the way back, but I think I need to jump start it with a little sewing.  Hopefully I will have some actual sewing to share with you soon!


...as always, more later!
