The one young lady is coming to meet with me Saturday to see what I have. She says she tries to use what you already have so there won't be a big investment in containers. I am so excited about doing this. I won't have anymore excuses not to get some sewing done. It has litteraly taken over my whole house. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted and give you some of the tips.
    Don't those shows scare you! I've gotten rid of so much stuff - even fabric - after watching those ! Good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress!

    Hey, if you find lots of duplicate gadgets, etc. you can sell them and use the money to pay the lady coming to help you organize. You may come out ahead! Congrats on deciding to do what needs to be done.

    I applaud you for taking that step to get organized. I am, most of the time, but right now, my studio is driving me crazy. Maybe when it gets cooler I'll tackle the mess.
