Sorted!

All the fabric is sorted - except for those bits I keep stumbling upon in other places. But we won't talk about those bits. I dragged the stepped unit out the hallway from under the staircase and stacked it on top of the unit I 'acquired' from Emily's room.


Let me break it down for you.

On the left, from top to bottom, is my rainbow - purples, blues, aquas, greens, yellows, oranges, reds, pinks and greys/browns/fuglies.


In the middle and on the right at the bottom are two larger tubs with a smaller one above each. I have larger cuts and misc pieces of fabric, solids, offcuts of wadding (I am sure this drawer will be re-purposed for fabric very soon) and my fussy cut drawer, which includes bits of text fabric and precious things like my Farmdale.


Finally, I have a low volume drawer, one dedicated to Heather Ross, a deep bin of 'I have plans for these particular fabrics/must keep these together stuff, and then a Denyse Schmidt bin with linens and the like at the back.

I'm still rearranging the rest of the sewing space as I was out the house for the majority of the day but I sure can tell the difference already. Now, if there was only somewhere else to put the dining room table!

  11. Dining tables are overrated - haven't you heard of the TV dinner? (I'm not really serious of course, but for fabric I could bend a principle or two.)

  13. I think eating at the dining room table is over rated....surely the lounge will do for meals?

  14. Organizing can be sort of addicting. Have fun with it.

  15. I could easily pop into any of your "green" boxes....isnt that the colour of jealousy and envy?

    Think of your dining table as a roof for hiding more boxes underneath.

  16. Such organisation! Agree with everyone above... eating in the kitchen is so much more convivial and informal!

  17. Use it as an outdoor setting. Oh, you just bought one...rookie mistake. Love your colour organisation.
