Crafty Space, Part 2


The Domestic Diva has an impressive collection of posts about sewing room organization. You're going to need some time to read through it all! Lots of great info, tips and ideas.

Here are her different topics:
Getting Started
Part I - Fabric
Part II - Thread
Part III - Needles and Stabilizers
Part IV - Laces, Trims and Ribbons
Part V - Sewing Library: Patterns, Embroidery Designs, Magazines and Books
Part VI - Notion Commotion

Ah, I only have a set of shelves and a wobbly tray table for a sewing room. It is about the only thing in my house that is organised right now, though (mainly so my husband wouldn't notice that I went a little nutty buying up on-sale fabric...).
