We paid an organizer to help us clean out several rooms, including the kitchen. My advice is to never have someone reorganize your kitchen! I would almost think the same thing about my sewing room, unless you are really, really desperate... I still will reach for something and not have it be where it used to be... On the plus side, my good friend and I traded sewing room cleaning and organizing a couple of times and worked together- that worked out really well.

Hi April,
Here's what I did and it worked for me.
I did a little at a time and when it got semi-organized I put things in totes and on those comic book boards. To make it less tedious I brought totes downstairs while I watched the baseball games or a movie and sat and folded and put in the right totes. My DH was great helping me carry it all up and down.
Hope this helps a bit!
Sue

Yahoo! Roadtrip! Susan is right, the comic book boards are awesome. I cut them in half to put the fat quarters on, 1/2 yard or more goes on the whole board. (Check e-bay, I paid around $12 for 100, with free shipping.) And I went through 400 without blinking! Once you are done you have your own LQS to play in. Then any new fabric can be folded and filed as you bring it home (and in my case, sneak it past DH!)
Take it a little at a time and have some fun with rediscovering just what you already have at your fingertips. If all else fails, PM me your address! Have fun! Miriam

Listen you can organize every wk and every wk you have to reorganize...Never seems to stay in the place once you organize...so don't kill yourself it's never ending. Do the best you can...because you'll be doing everywk
