New Year, new layout

I spend the beginning part of the New Year cleaning and organizing my sewing room. It was a disaster area after the holidays. Plus, I wanted to rearrange a few things, garner more table space, so, I moved everything not bolted to the wall out, rearranged and then put it all back. Cleaned out all the boxes and bags and well, it's done (for now). I did discover, not surprisingly, that I have more scraps than I can possibly store, so in celebration of cleaning out my sewing space, I will be sending 2 lucky followers a surprise goodie bag of scraps. Leave me a comment and let me know what is the one thing you would LOVE to have in your sewing area that you currently do not have (I would L*O*V*E a design wall). I will pick 2 winners on January 30th and send you your scrap goodies. Don't be shy on the comments, dream big!
Oh, and while I was cleaning and organizing a made a few things to help!

  3. If we're dreaming big, I'd have to say I'd like a sewing ROOM! I'm stuck at our family table now, so I have to clean up as soon as I'm done sewing. More realistically, I'd like a design wall.

  4. having just done a big reorganize myself I am hard pressed to think of something else to add - but I do need a back-up sewing machine. Mine's getting maintenance but I still need to sew! Great space, let the creativity flow!

  6. We do not have a sewing room per se. We would like a wide, sturdy, sewing table with an extension table for the sewing machine to reduce drag when piecing larger quilts. It would be nice to have a design wall and large table for sandwiching quilts.

  7. I really need a good cutting/ironing area. I'd also love a design wall too, but that will have to wait.

  8. I would love to have a design wall also. I have been looking at my walls trying how to figure out how to get this much space without moving cabinets!

  9. I would also love to have a design wall - I use the floor & it's less tan ideal!

  10. I would love a super awesome, fancy sewing machine! And a nice big cutting mat, a rotary cutter that actually cuts :) and probably a nice big table to put the mat on. How about a nice big closet to shove all the mess into so that it looks like I'm super organized :)

  11. I would love a bigger ironing board (and the space to leave it up all the time.)
