Now that I'm an empty-nester, I've inherited the middle bedroom, which is approximately 10x12. I am having bookshelves built on the 12' wall, and will use two pieces of 4x8 foam insulation covered with batting and one 4x8 pegboard for "doors". That way, I have all the shelves but my "stuff" is hidden from view, plus I have an 8x8 design wall and a pegboard for all my rulers and tools.
I've already had shelves put in the closet for my fabric, which is wrapped on plastic sheets I got at www.polarnotions.com. I bought 300 of them and didn't quite use them all. It sure has made shopping from my stash a lot easier. I have my first dresser (I was 6 when I got it) in the closet, too, and it holds my bits and pieces (fat quarters, charm paks, etc. The pre-packaged batting goes on the top shelf, and my various machines go on the floor under the bottom shelf. I also use expandable file folders to hold UFOs, WIPs and kits, as I can put all the fabric, the pattern and any specialty rulers all in one place. They are also good for storing the patterns that come in the 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 plastic sleeves. |

It's also a part of the new virtual room. :) |
Sounds like a great idea. I just painted, new hardwood floors and put in 4 bottom cabinets that I have been storing my material in. I also have an large rectangle ironing board that lays on part of it and my cutting boards lay on the other half. It looks really nice BUT - Now I have 4 large plastic bin of all the sewing "STUFF" and don't know what to do with it. I go in and look at all the STUFF piled up and turn around and leave. OH WELL at least my sewing machine is up and working.

Great idea. I have a giant bag of yards of batting in our new storage building because of no room
But the funny thing is I have a huge roll ob batting and I have it covered and it is setting in my garden tub that we don't use. Hey it works, for now!! I would love some ideas. I have a small walk in closet and it is filled from floor to ceiling and wall to wall of shelves that my Great hb made me and it is fill with [2 rows back] of just fabric. Plus a stack in a cabinet. I just need to stop buying. My poor guest bedroom has gotten overwhelmed with Stacking drawers, machine cabinet,cutting table and a large. felt board. Definatley in need of an overhaul.HEEEEEEELP. |
Good thought - I like it.

This is a super idea.
|
Good going. I am trying to organize my room also and need and helpful tips I can get
|
This is a great idea. My rooms are a mess. I really want to do some quilting today, but if I don't get some things straightened up, I won't have room to cut a 1" square.

I also bought the closet shoe hanger and this is great for FQs and smaller pieces of fabric. Close the closet door and all sun is away from your fabric as well as dust........ The wall hanging (hubby made) is for my thread and is a God-send........holds close to 75 to 80 spools and that also keeps the dust off the thread. Hope these help someone....they sure have been a big help for me. MaryJane |
