I'm so impressed you've managed to re-jigger the spaces through your recovery this past year. Your constant improvements made me do two things in mine - which have made such a visual improvement (closed cabinet vs. shelves) - thank you.

LoL. I do not have the space, currently. I have been here 3 yrs and have not been as motivated since everything sewing related is still in boxes in the basement. I will be taking a huge step to remedying my stale creativity in the next 30 days. Weeeeeh. It will be like early Christmas. LoL. Love, love, truly love all you have done to your spaces, and for you. shakingroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768885328742151703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-5598545523819647462021-11-08T14:58:53.156-05:002021-11-08T14:58:53.156-05:00Rosanne - I used shower curtain hooks that I purch...Rosanne - I used shower curtain hooks that I purchased from the bargain bins at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Right now, there's the large trash can where I dumped almost everything because I want to use those scraps to make scrap quilts. That's my 2022 goal - quilts for all of the grandchildren and any daughters that want one. Then I have a bin that's just denim scraps and another smaller trashcan that's full of silk and velvet scraps. So the scraps are not for reuse in garments but for making quilts. Hope that helps!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-90900294822363276272021-11-08T12:31:17.545-05:002021-11-08T12:31:17.545-05:00Your space looks fantastic!

Sometimes figuring out what doesn't work is critical to figuring out what does work. I really love your resource center and that's the epitome of sewing room goals for me. How great to be able to access everything you need, but have it stored nicely out of the way when you don't!Doctor T Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579737383030185168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-84866116243681278642021-11-08T09:34:03.079-05:002021-11-08T09:34:03.079-05:00Very cool on having both areas finished, and only ...Very cool on having both areas finished, and only small finishing touches left to do. But having the furniture and storage sorted is Huge! And no, I don't think any furniture comes assembled any more unless you go to a furniture or office supply store and pay lots more (don't forget delivery cost and arrangements too). One thing I do wonder about is the 30 gallon trash can for scraps. It seems like dumping it out every time you need to find scraps to use would be a pain, unless that perfect scrap happens to be laying right near the top. But if it works for you, that's all that counts!JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-24916118002510218472021-11-08T08:13:38.322-05:002021-11-08T08:13:38.322-05:00Carolyn, you are just one amazing organizer---and ...Carolyn, you are just one amazing organizer---and yes, having a place for everything and everything in its place makes for a much happier, productive life.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604614889158668255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-74561849047350683362021-11-08T07:11:06.319-05:002021-11-08T07:11:06.319-05:00I want a room like that so I can organize my space...I want a room like that so I can organize my space too.

Yet I know I am lucky to even have a sewing place, as many sewists do not. I love your new cosy fabrics for Winter and can't wait to see some in action.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.com
