Default Sewing space

Brandi, I sympathise with your problem. I sewed in one small room for a long time. My best advice is don't forget your wall space and the space above and behind doors. I used 1x12 boards painted white with the cheapest brackets I could find. I placed all my folded fabric on these above a desk(and I have ALOT of fabric). Remember, you can go from wall to wall with these shelves if you use enough brackets. I used plastic house gutters screwed into the wall above the doorways and closets to hold notions, trims and ribbon, especially those not used very often but that I liked to have handy. I built a super simple shelf from 1x2 lumer that reached from floor to celing behind my door to hold all of my thread and bobbins and glue, buttons, etc. I still use that system now and I have a 600 sq foot sewng room. You DO have to be a little more tidy and organized with a small space, but it can be done.
