Confessions of a sewing packrat!
amy
I have finally decided to organize my sewing stuff..
After spending most of the afternoon untangling loose thread & elastics
from craft rings, bobbins, needles, and lord knows what else I am on the
road to organization..
I have claimed a corner of the computer room - and am ready to set up
shop..
When we buy a house (next spring) I plan on having a sewing room, for
now - this will do.
The good thing is - we have our kitchen table back & my 2 year old can
no longer fiddle with my machine while I am sewing..
Now that I have everything in order - how do I keep it that way?
I'd love to hear any tips you guys can offer about storing all this
stuff - and all my fabric.. I hate throwing anything away...
I am almost finished with my H'ween costumes for my kids -I'll post web
pages when they are finished..
For those who are interested - Sears Portrait studios gives you FREE

Great and glorious good luck to you on that end. I've never been able to do
it. I do have a sewing **room** which is a carport that we had enclosed,
right off the laundry area, for all my stuff. I even went so far as to get
built in cabinets, shelves, tables, clear boxes, magazine racks, etc., etc.
Since I was so organized, I decided I could continue feeding the addiction.
It's been one year since we set it up for me.
I can't find the floor..........
Which goes to prove the old adage: Stuff--especially sewing
stuff--accumulates to fit the space provided for it and then some.

use up what I have for a project and then some. I still cannot get away
with just a small amount of fabric I always buy more. Why I do it I
guess because my mother did it before me and it stuck.

projects stashed away to last me the entire rest of my life - but I still go
out there looking and still buy more new projects. Don't think anyone with
any hobbies at all is totally organized! There is never enough room for
everything.

Well, as I tell my DH when he and maybe i retire I'll have less money and more
time!

25 - 30 projects that I have started, but I also have every gadget imaginable
in TRIPLICATE! (One is always within reach...)
The worst/best thing that's happened lately is that I was bitten by the
quilting bug and have started a calico stash; I'm divorcing my husband and
annexing his bedroom for fabric storage!
I'm really lucky to have 12-year-old twin boys that enjoy sewing. They already
have their own sewing machines and if I keep buying fabric at this rate,
they'll inherit quite a stash someday (40 - 50 more years of fabric is a scary
thought!)
