New Sewing Space

 Boys grow up and they need their own space. Ahh, motherhood is always a sacrifice.  I gave up my sewing room so my boys could have separate rooms.  I found this amazing sewing cabinet because although I may give up my space I was not giving up my hobby.

 Two nights and about a million hours later and it was put together. There is so much space that I didn't even fill up the shelves.

 When it is closed up it looks just like a piece of furniture.  Matched the room and it is very functional.  I actually like my new space better.  Go figure!

Sewing Closet

I am on the mailing list for every catalogue on the planet earth. And I look through every single one. And sometimes I find a little gem. In a catalogue called Collections Etc. I found a closet organizer with drawers. I ordered two. And just like everyone does when they order something from a catalogue they hope it will be true to the photo. In this case it was fantastic. They fit neatly into my sewing closet and I was even able to keep my existing drawers.

Now my fabric is not hidden in bins. I can see all the colors I have and it is at eye level and I don't have to bend down or sit on the floor to look at fabric. But look at those empty sections at the top - I have to get more fabric now!!

Sewing Space

This is where I do all my sewing. This great little table folds up and the machine hides inside so you can put everything away when you have company. This table sits out in the unfurnished living room.

This is my craft closet in the guest room. You will notice the cricut on the third shelf from the bottom. I keep all my fabric supplies in the pull out drawers. The fabric is organized by color. I have a thread holder but have not put any thread on it yet. I also have an idea board stuck on the back wall of the closet.

This is in the same room as the craft closet. It is a guest bed where I do all my cutting and pattern layout. The kids also like to sit on the bed and watch me cut.

And this is what it looks like when everyone is at play.
