I have finished organizing my disaster of a sewing space, in honor of the new
fabric chest I scored a couple of weekends ago. It was
so much fun. I organized every notion and tool. I organized the buttons, the ribbons, the rick-rack, the thread. I personalized the lid of the chest with the
fabric I won from
Sew, Mama, Sew. I can't stop opening up the drawers.

I organized the fabric by type, size and color. I have several drawers for cotton fabric, a drawer for flannel, a drawer for corduroy, and a drawer for upholstery fabric. I even have a drawer for tiny scraps and selvages. Oversized backing, batting and polyfill are neatly stored in stacked bins next to the desk, creating a bit more surface area.

This move may be detrimental to my career--
all I want to do is sew. At least I'm making an effort to sew responsibly: I have joined
Spring to Finish at
Tallgrass Prairie Studio, with the goal of finishing half-completed projects before beginning new ones.
For now, I am satisfied with a workspace that is efficient and lovely, the perfect environment for my chosen creative outlet.

On a child-sized desk, I have enough space for one current project, my iron, my sewing machine, my cutting mat, and my knitting basket. I owe it all to the fabric chest. Thank you, yard sale gods.
Thank you.
