My plan is just to scan the patterns I like into my computer and get rid of the mags. Just take up too much space and then having to go back through them is such a waste of time.
I am in the process of re-organizing my room also. It's never ending. I recently acquired a sewing desk on Craigslist for $50 with an extension table lift on the back. The daughter told me her mom used it for sewing over the years. It's very sturdy and nice. It has a cut out for the machine. My machine fits but sits out about 1/2" but it's ok to quilt with It's great for holding the quilt.
I had the room set up with the plastic folding tables but this is much nicer and more stable.
I went through all my fabrics that I had put on foam core boards and took them all out for they take up too much room. I folded the matching fabs for a quilt and rubber banded them (have at least collections for 45 quilts) and re-organized the shelves. Now I have lots more room. I bought containers ($3.97) from WalMart to put all my FQs in by colors. I had them on shelves and they were always falling when I need one on the bottom of the stack. I bought 10 containers and went back today bought 12 more to begin putting thread, rulers, etc. in. Maybe I can take pics when I get finished this re-organization. I can't sew or be settle with things so messy. I have never been a messy person but this sewing room has kicked my "hinney" with organizating...
