Craving Natural Light

Very little sewing here. 
Silly me, on Saturday I decided to move things around to get my sewing machine and cutting table
 over by the windows and make the most of the winter sun.


Re-purposing an old table but whoops it needs a new top .... "Glenn"


That's better but I have had to take 2 bookcases out of the room so need somewhere to store my scrap boxes.  "Hey Glenn ....... I have an idea" (By this stage Glenn was ready to run! lol )


That's better. My former cutting table was 2.3mtr long, 
this one is only 1.5mtrs. Hope I can make this work :o)


The Table needs a skirt now as I have to hide my "supplies" somewhere :o)


By Sunday afternoon things were still in a mess but I needed some time with my sewing machine


and made a start on this :o)

Just to mix things up a little, today I have reorganised the other living room, kitchen and the dining room and then went and made a pressing board for my sewing space.


I am going to love not having an ironing board set up 24 / 7.
Now to go and finish finding homes for everything.

Ohh Sharon, why do you do this to yourself!

Hugs, Sharon

  4. such a lot of hard work but you seem to have a great place for your stitching, I have to do mine in the kitchen but have a small spare room where everything should be stored but it seems to get all over the house!!

  12. I'd be happy to be rearranging a dedicated sewing space, I'm stuck sewing in my hallway, no room for anything. It will be great!
