Overwhelmed! It happens to all of us. My personal solution is baskets. I would get six pretty baskets out and put each project in it's own little space. Stack those baskets up in a corner. Instant organization. Now, only one basket at a time comes out to be worked on. If anyone should look into the sewing room they think that you're really organized too!
I never iron until I'm ready to use the fabric. Ironing is not my favorite occupation so it's iron as I go. Leaves less time for the fabric to "re-wrinkle"!!
