We finally found the rest of the hardware and shelving we needed. DH spent the better part of a day installing everything. He's so good to me!
Now I have all my fabric stash sorted by color or type and put away where it won't get faded by the light.
Rather than put the baskets in rainbow order as I had them in the old house, I decided to be smarter about it and put the ones most frequently used in the most accessible areas, and the ones least used in the hardest to get to places.
(The totes of files are there temporarily until we get a new file cabinet or something for them. Eventually we'll figure out where we want it located permanently and we'll get a piece of furniture.)
My sewing room is totally workable now and I'm looking forward to using it!

Wow! Great way to organize those containers in the closet. You make a good point about protecting your fabric from the light. I have a huge closet in my sewing room but it has no doors, as the previous owner's teenage son put big holes in them. I really should either buy new doors or hang a curtain.
ReplyDeleteHurray for you Jan! Now you can settle in and start sewing.
ReplyDeleteYea for making progress getting resettled in your new place. The bins look like a great storage solution. Is it easy to see what color is inside? If not you can always tie a colored bow around a couple of the holes to make it easier. Hope you can start a project soon.
ReplyDeleteFabulous - and smart decision regarding frequently used in the easier to reach spots.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you all found shelving; did you get enough for the rest of the house needs, too?!?
ReplyDeleteHow do you spell relief? S H E L V E S!
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to get things in a usable order! Fabric and batting are bulky and don't squish smaller very easily :)
ReplyDeleteLooks very organized!!! What a relief for you and hubby!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks so good! Fresh and clean and ready for lots of creative work :)
ReplyDeleteHurray, let creativity commence. Not that it ever really ceased.

Isn't it amazing how a few shelves can make us giddy!!
ReplyDeleteSmart thinking with the placement of your fabric bins, Jan, and happy quilting in your new studio!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteGreat storage area. I too, have just reorganized my UFOs and fabric. It is very satisfying to have our fabrics sorted and stored away from sunlight. Good job! Thanks for joining the linky party at Design Wall Monday.
