I’m not the most organized person, and I really wish I were when it comes to my sewing room. I’m so ashamed to share this picture with you all, but I think revealing this mess will motivate me to make changes in my sewing room:
Ugh, what a mess! I hate that patterns are all over the place. I work on several projects simultaneously, because of that I do not want to put away the patterns, but am not sure where to store them without interrupting my progress. My chair is not stylish – I like the fact I can roll over to my sewing machine, to surger and to ironing board, but it looks like one you would see in a collage dorm. My threads are all thrown in a make-up bag that was given to me as a souvenir from China, and every time I need to find thread, I get frustrated.
So finally I got sick of my Chinese make-up bag enough to organize my thread. I bought this rack from the 300 yen shop the other day:
Much better! But, I need two more of this rack these because I have a ton of more threads. I don’t know how I accumulated so many *things*. When I first started sewing, I had nothing. Even my sewing machine was borrowed from my friend. Now I have way too many small things..they are necessary, but it’s so hard to organize them all!
Along with the rack, I bought this jewelry hanger as well.
My sewing room is still messy, but these baby step improvements really brighten up the mood and are little spots of light in my dark messiness. I hope to make it better in the near future!! How do you keep your sewing area neat? Any tips?
