Default One corner at a time, part 3

I'm a bit behind posting pics, but here's the 3rd corner. I had fat quarters on there loosely arranged by color groups. Now they are in tubs and each holds a color group. THere's one last corner that's a real challenge, but in the mean time here's where I sit to sew. Works for me!

Almost forgot the "Before" pic - the jars hold buttons, ricrac, and selveges.

Your space will work just fine. Like the hutch. Some years ago Martha Stewart showed how to make a sewing center that opened from a big wall cabinet.. It held the machine and sewing needs, a drop down ironing board, room for a small cutting mat.. My problem is I have tooooo much statch. I think if I would only buy what I needed for a specific pattern I wouldn't have such a mess.

Maybe buy more shelving, change the name of the room to your 'sewing room'. Who neds a dining room anyway. LOL

I like the way you used large jars for the 'little' pieces.

not having seen the beginning of this "make-over", my first question is don't you have an extra bedroom that could become a "sewing room"....closets in bedrooms hold a lot of stash.......just wondering.....
