My Creative Space

It's party time!  Let me show you around my creative space!  If you'd like to see other creative spaces, take a look at the button on the left hand side bar.

These first two pictures are from the entryway of my sewing room.

This is my Viking, my very first sewing machine.  The desk is an old computer desk that my husband cut a hole into to house my sewing machine flush to the top of the desk.

This is a photo of some of my fabric stash.

My Bernina.

This is a shelf system made by my husband.  It holds paints, jars of beads, buttons, and whatnots.  The cabinets below the shelf have lace, threads, and other embellishments sorted by color.

A closer look at the shelf.

Fancy yarns sorted by color in an over the door shoe holder.

More fabric stash.  All of the fabric in these cubes were folded the same way.  Fold in half selvedge to selvedge, then in half again.   I used the widest ruler that I have and wrapped the fabric around the ruler until there was no more to wrap.  I didn't use any of those special boards that have been marketed and it has worked out fantastically.

Thread on the pegboard.  This is one end of my center cabinets.  The central cabinets are 4 double cabinets with 2 drawer units.  The tops were salvaged from old computer desks.

Here is a view facing the entryway.  The bookshelves were also made by my husband.  The wire drawer units hold fat quarters all folded in a way similiar to the larger cuts of fabric.  I also have some wool here and at least one drawer of scraps and a drawer of 100% wool sweaters waiting to be turned into something new.

This is the area where I do my "messy" stuff....painting, dyeing, mod podge, etc.  I have batting storage on top.

These are baskets full of my fancy fabrics, both scrap and yardage.  I also have a couple of color sorted baskets of cotton scraps as well.

This is an inside view of one of my cabinets.  I have projects sorted into shoe boxes for a quilt that is ready to be made.
