I have spent the afternoon amidst a pile of fabric and notions in an attempt to tidy up my sewing room/studio... and I am not enjoying myself!
I have come to the following conclusions:
1. I have a seriously unhealthy fabric addiction...
2. I have a seriously unhealthy paper addiction...
3. I have a seriously unhealthy ribbon addiction...
4. I have far too many zips!
5. My room is far too small.
In the middle of sorting through my fabrics I got stuck. I currently have my fabrics loosely sorted into: stripes/spots/flowers/vintage/embroidered/sheets/japanese linens/kids prints/oil cloth/felt/linen/tulle etc... but then I was thinking maybe I should sort into colours...? I would love to know what others do. I have to say my creative space really weighs me down at the moment!
But atleast now I can see the floor! And my beautiful 5 year old just walked in and sid 'Wow Mummy, your room is soooooo tidy!'
It made me smile.
wow you have a real treasure trove there! I haven't got anything like the fabric stash you have but I sort my fabric into colours. helps when my toddler asks for "a pink and green bag thanks mama"!
ReplyDeleteYup, sorted by colour here too!
ReplyDeleteI want to steal all your fabric!
ReplyDeleteI am really curious to know how the crafty people of the world store all their goodies (because let's face it, us creative people hoard beautiful things!). So thanks for sharing!
