The Sewing Room

With the introduction of a new member into the sewing tools - a new serger - my sewing corner has now become way too small! After some creative brainstorming and a little pleading with the husband, I now officially have the front sunroom as my sewing room! It took most of a day to re-organize and set things up. It actually doesn't look very different from before to the untrained eye, but I made some big changes.

The shelves are a great way to store the more need at hand items. If you can't build out, build up. Scissors, pins, and embroidery patterns are a couple of bigger necessities.
This metal shelf does double duty as a plant stand and holds all my fabric ( for now ) , patterns, and other goods.

I have found the best way to store sewing notions is with a hanging shoe rack. Clear is best so it's easy to see what's in the pockets. If it doesn't fit well over the door - like mine - half a dozen or so of those 3M removable sticky things work well.

I now have room on this table to cut out patterns and sew. This eliminates me using the dining room table and spreading my things to all four corners of the house.
