My play room

I had a clean up. I could hardly get into the sewing room for the clutter. I'm not showing you all the mess but I will show you the main parts of my sewing room. This is a before shot of my giant table, messy on top and bottom!My DH built this table which is about 13 feet long and at cutting height. There are a lot of bins stuffed with fabric underneath because this room used to be a retreat room downstairs and doesn't have any cupboards.

And my sewing cabinet is also very cluttered. Note more stash in the bins on the far right!

The shot of my table after the great tidy up. On the left, there is a cloth covering a light table which was built in with fluorescent lights underneath. I do all my drawing and cutting on this table.

At the end you can see my design wall which is also a bit messy because I put a flannelette sheet over a top in progress so I could use it for the pink and green wip. There is a bedroom next door with large cupboards and believe me, they have a lot of fabric in them too.

I have a double bookshelf in one corner that has my books in one half and stereo, photocopier and other bits and pieces in the other half.

I haven't had time to tidy the fabrics in my main cupboard but that's for another day and I can have a cull then too. There are two large drawers on the bottom where I store patterns. See the doors bulging, lol.

So now you've had a mini tour of where I get to play. It's not flash but I love that I have my own space.

Apart from the clean up, I even managed to go shopping today and found these feed sack style fabrics for a bargain, I didn't get all of them in the range but it's a good excuse to go back.

I couldn't resist making this sweet crochet flower last night just to see how it's made. These could be addictive.

Post edit, go on over and visit another Janet to see her gorgeous hexagon quilt she's made using my header quilt for inspiration. It's a beauty using Japanese fabrics.
