Sewing Nook

This is basically what my sewing supplies have looked like for a long while. Stuffed onto cheap plastic shelves in a corner of my laundry room.  I would pull out my machine and put it on the kitchen table when I had projects. Imagine the chaos with four homeschooling kids who also use the kitchen table for projects. And then there's the inconvenient truth that we use the kitchen table for meals three times a day.  Not pretty.

(I honestly didn't muss up the supplies for this before shot, isn't that sad.)

I hacked an idea for mini fabric bolts and made them out of foam board.  They are perfect for displaying all the fabric I have.  I might actually use it now, instead of going out and buying new stuff all the time.

I built a custom worktop to fit this nook in my laundry room.  It's just my height for sewing.  Then I simply installed a set of shelves for my mini bolts, and voila! I have a beautiful, functional sewing space all my own.  My laundry room happens to have an east facing window.  Bonus. 

 It's possible I might someday be able to match my sister's sewing genius, but she's got an entire studio, so maybe not.
