Organizing my sewing room has been an on going experiance for me. Mostly because I didn't have a "sewing room". It was a card table, desk, kitchen table, kitchen counter, bedroom, closet ..whereever and whatever worked at the time. I now have a sewing studio. I am most blessed. I wish that this had been my experiance when I had young children or for that matter when I was young. However, I'll take it now and enjoy.
I invested in Kowala sewing furniture and have not been sorry. It's been heaven to have a place for all my stuff. My yardage is stored in a closet on shelves. My stash is in plastic containers with lids, all coordinated by color and is stored on shelves of the Kowala furniture. Strips are also in containers by width size. Bricks and blocks are in small stackable drawers. My holiday fabric is stored in drawers. Also all stablizers and hoops for embroidery have their own drawers. All fat quarters are folded so they can be viewed together and in their own drawer. Thread, scissors, and the like have their space. Me too. Love it.
