I recently realized that the way my sewing space is organized is simply not working. My space is less than 11'x11' so I drew a scale outline of the space on grid paper, made "paper doll" cutouts of all the parts that I know for sure (table, chair, ironing board, etc) and started playing with the layout.
I want a few dedicated spaces: Sewing table, ironing area, cutting area, library, stash, tv and guest chair...... That really helped me define what goes where.
For me, it will be a while because I will have to empty everything and have DH cut down the depth of my cabinets. I want them smaller and no doors (or glass doors) so I can see my stuff (visual person to the max).
Don't look at it as ONE project - break it down into sections and steps.
