Okay, yesterday I went thhrough 2 small totes of patterns. I didnt realize I had so many cute things that I could make for gifts! Being an antique collector and dealer, I have amassed a nice collection of vintage patterns. Now on to a couple smaller totes of fabric. Still not able to lift those big totes (had surgery 3 weeks ago) and I dare not ask DH for help, lest he realize how much I really have. LOL! You girls are great inspiration! Now my dilema is this... I have lots of furniture that I could repurpose into useful sewing room pieces and I am wondering if anyone has made a pressing "station" out of a lower height chest of drawers. Or something similar. It would be great to see what anyone has made. Thanks to all for the comraderie!

And I almost forgot... I am contemplating what paint color to use. This is in a basement. Not much natural light,but DH put in lots of lights in the ceiling. I am thinking a really light green of some sort. Have any of you painted and then found it interferes with seeing fabric colors well? Any advice is appreciated!
