    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.

    I'm doing the same thing in my combo bedroom/sewing room. All I need for sleeping is my twin bed the rest was wasted space, LOL

    Aw, didn't realize that you had two corners cleaned up. Now I'm really behind! lol BTW, what do you do with the selvages? and how big do you cut them?

    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.

    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.....
