I need an intervention or a good organizer

The current state of my sewing room.  In pictures.

There's about 4 projects going on at the same time over here.  Even have a list posted to my table.


My stash that sits behind me when I'm cutting or what I stare at when I'm sewing.  Oh the horror.  It's no wonder I can't find anything.  To be fair, it wasn't THIS bad to begin with.  I started to get my fabrics separated by color families.  I had done it once before but fell out of practice.  I picked that task up again but then I started cutting strings for my string blocks and well, this is what I have now.


Just another view.

More projects in the works.  I need to get back to them.  There are some quilt blocks hiding in that pile.


More stash.  On these shelves are my favorite fabrics.  Easy to find.


My ironing station and the place where things go that need to be fixed.  Like a pocket in a pair of jeans, a button on a pillow and a ripped stuffed toy.  Just so you know, all three of those things have been sitting there for about a year.

I have been in the sewing groove and have been ignoring the state of my sewing room.  I think it's high time to take a big pause and get to organizing myself.  Anybody want to come do it for me?!  :)

I have a plan.  I'm just waiting for a free weekend to implement it.  I'm going to clear the entire room out (not the furniture) and put it all back nice and organized like.  I'm just afraid it's going to take me much longer than a weekend to get it done.  

:)

Enjoy your day!

  6. Haha -- this is what happens when you've been on a sewing binge -- and you've definitely been cranking out the projects. So ... the mess is all worth it imho. Good luck with the cleanup!

  7. Sigh. Mine looks very similar, and I haven't even been sewing in it. Good luck!

  8. :o) It'll be worth the time. I've gotten realistic about what I will and won't use and have donated several bags. My load is lighter and my space is more useable and that's a good feeling.
