Your room looks amazing now. You did a great job! I noticed that I have some of the same books as you!!!

When our sewing rooms are cleaned up we all are always more creative!! Have fun!!!

Congratulations! You have done a great job!! I am just beginning to do mine. I will post pics when I get started!

Hi chickadee, I too have a yarn and string stash due to a crocheting addiction. I've recently picked up a knitting addiction. Also this is in addition to my fabric stash. Your room looks marvolous darling :thumbup: Mine will probably always look like a craft trap. I have it in the basement so it's not in the families way.

You did a fantastic job! You should be proud of yourself. What an inspiration to us all. Thanks for sharing

Your room is lovely....I bet you feel great now that it is organised and you can find things so much easier....love the quilt on the wall and now it looks even more amazing.

Your room looks wonderful! What a great place to plan and create in. I love the low window you have behind your machine too, so nice to have all that natural light and view.

I have an idea for your curtain problem...Place some eye hooks in the ceiling above the shelving and string a medium weight wire between them. Place one hook at each end of the shelving unit. Next do a second set right in front of the first but about 2 inches out from the first set. Now you can hang a quilt on each set of wires with those curtain ring hooks that would clamp on to the edges of the quilts. When you need to access the shelves you can slide one quilt behind the other to have full view of one side of the shelving unit at a time. When you need to get in the other side just side them both the other direction.

Colleen, I use my handbag everyday, love it. Great pockets inside and I like the fact that it is like a bucket purse, easy in and easy out. You did a great job.
And I love my handles.

I am also working on mine to make it more of a retreat for me. one that makes me smile everytime I walk in the door.. it is getting there.. dh is making racks for my threads right now. so that is a start.
How are your handbags working out for you? I have had several request for the smaller size since yours.. and the leather handles are a hit.. I wish I had more... I am on the look out for some as nice as the ones I got from you..


Katz13203 05-20-2011 04:01 AM

You are so organized! Room looks great.

tweety 05-20-2011 04:09 AM

You have a great room. I need to clean mine. Maybe it would get me in the mood to sew.

PAQUILTS 05-20-2011 04:16 AM

HI, LOOKS GREAT!! :) YOU HAVE A WALL HANGING WITH CARDNALS ON THE WALL IN SOME OF THE PICS, DO YOU HAVE A PATTERN FOR IT AND CAN I PURCHASE IT FROM YOU ??
THANKS

WoW, the begining pics look like my rooms and areas,spillage happens. But your after pis are inspiring that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is still hope for my areas. Organizing is not my best trait. So far as the closet curtains, clear shower curtains, would keep the dust off and still lt you see in. DEB

grannypat7925 05-20-2011 05:21 AM

What a transformation! Looks great!

bevannthomas 05-20-2011 05:48 AM

I know how difficult that was. I have to do mine... its a lot of work, but it has to be done... Great job!!!

Marie33604 05-20-2011 06:00 AM

Now that's a sewing room! An awesome job, you should be proud of yourself.
Marie

Dotsie 05-20-2011 06:08 AM

Woh! what a difference! Enjoy your sewing from now on.

PolkaBabe 05-20-2011 06:23 AM

Look great. My sewing room is storage as well as a catch-all. You mentioned curtain ideas. What about doing pannels? Narrorer pannels. Each could have a look of it's own, like patchwork.

Val in IN 05-20-2011 06:26 AM

I'm in the process of organizing mine. You inspire me:-)

Tweety2911 05-20-2011 06:39 AM

Wonderful transformation! Send me some inspiration my space looks like your before:-)

grammysharon 05-20-2011 06:43 AM

Good for you. I need to clean mine up and reorganize my stash :oops:

llcathey 05-20-2011 06:49 AM

GramaLaura 05-20-2011 07:05 AM

juliea9967 05-20-2011 07:09 AM

Great job! I know that was a lot of work! Now you can enjoy sewing again.

jean1234 05-20-2011 07:58 AM

:thumbup: :thumbup: :D :-) Very Aw some sewing room..

Jean

sculpyfan 05-20-2011 08:07 AM

Your before looks a lot like mine. Unfortunately I don't have the after. Good job ,that should motivate you.

BZEQUILTER 05-20-2011 08:08 AM

Nice job!!I really like the idea of an "Inventory Room". Maybe if my machine, and the really nice table I bought with it were elsewhere, I would have somewhere to sew--since it just keeps accumuliating my "inventory" on it!!

leiladylei54 05-20-2011 08:25 AM

Wow, what an awesome job you did!!! Looks great!!!

grannie cheechee 05-20-2011 08:42 AM

Looks great! You sure clean up nice. LOL

BeeNana 05-20-2011 09:08 AM

Your room puts mine to shame!

Gabrielle's Mimi 05-20-2011 09:21 AM

Isn't it excitig to go in there now? Doesn't it just make you itch to sew something? Congrats!

Bmanmommy 05-20-2011 09:26 AM

calla 05-20-2011 09:33 AM

GEE you saw my mess room and wanted to win, however, you didn't....he he he....really you did a great job, I don't exactly know how I let mine get so out of control...............one thing I have too much stuff and too little space...........calla

serenitybygrace 05-20-2011 09:51 AM

Wow! You deserve all kinds of pats on the back and gold stars. That was a lot of work and you did awesome! I can hardly wait to get my room cleaned out.

GladGrams 05-20-2011 09:52 AM

I just love the quilt hanging on the wall- the one with shades of tan etc. What pattern is it?

clhornak 05-20-2011 09:56 AM

You are going to love that room now. So nice and organized. Do you feel rejuvenated?

Lorae Radunz 05-20-2011 10:23 AM

Who could see any mess?? I couldn't get past all your beautiful quilts on the walls & on your chair...but in the end, your room looks great!
