Re-Organized Sewing Room

I used to have 2 sewing/crafting spaces. One room held my sewing machines and the other room held my cutting table, my fabric and my ironing table. Last week Mr. P. wanted to put the exercise equipment in the space that had my fabric, iron and cutting table. We had the re-bounder, the free weights, the weight bench, the mat and the sit-up thingamajig in the garage and it 's too cold this time of year out there. So I had to move it all out and put it in the other room. Well almost all of it out. The ironing table could stay and I got to move one sewing machine in the small table into that room with the exercise equipment. The large cutting table is now in the garage. Most everything else is all in my small sewing space. I organized some things, threw out some stuff and donated a couple of boxes of stuff too. I still have a lot of crap stuff, but I'm too worn out right now to purge any more things. I find it hard to know what to toss as I need my sewing and crafting supplies and some of the handmade things I love, but I could get rid of some of the ones I don't like as much. That stuff will be waiting for me another day because I didn't sew for 3 straight days because that's how long the rearranging took,

Then I needed to take my favorite sewing machine in for repair because the thread was getting jammed when I tried to free-motion quilt. So I cannot work on my bags for the bag of the month club until I can get my machine back. I could use another machine, but the one in for repair has more power since it's a semi-industrial and can handle the heavy layers, whereas my other machines struggle too much and then it's no fun for me or my machine. It will take 3 weeks before I get a call telling me what the repair will cost and then who knows how much longer before it gets repaired. So meanwhile I am working on other things that I can do on a different machine.

Here is my re-organized sewing space:

My sewing space has 2 doors that open into the room, but I now need to keep the one on the left closed so I have more space inside the room.

Closet on the left is stuffed full of supplies too.

My fabric is stored in wire drawers. These are the kind of drawers that you typically use in a closet space. I have a small portable design wall in front of the window. Those are the Quilter's Garden Blocks on there now. I got some curtains up now too. Mr. P. moved the curtains into the other room that were in this room.

Another view of the closet and the closed door on the left is giving me some space to put a couple of rolling carts that hold supplies and tools. Plus I have a hanging door thing with pockets that I made to hold some tools too.

Looking straight into the room. I do have an ironing board too, but prefer the ironing table in the other room. I have baskets of stuff under my table too. I am glad to have a sewing space all my own.
