i'm currently using the dining table (which is very small, round) for my sewing table. we have plans to build me a cabinet for my machine, just waiting for funds for that; i have plans for a design/basting wall (it was actually his idea to let me have a complete wall in the dining room!), but again, still collecting funds.

i have a couple organizer drawers for things such as fabric, rulers, rotary cutters, patterns, etc, and i have a very small 'stash' still, but i'd like ideas for organizing the space, and hiding things away when they're not in use. i guess basically i'm asking for brainstorming ideas.

thanks so much! have a great day!
