SEWING ROOM SHAKE UP

The time has come to tackle the out of control fabric in my sewing room.  I can no longer remember what I have stored in which place and there is no longer any order to how the shelves are stacked ........ 

The decisions are always to store in colour, fabric type, designers, ..........????? Too many choices.

My aim by the end of the day is too have restored some semblance of order, hopefully to rediscover some forgotten fabrics and to be back to my great love of stitching and creating.

THE BIG MOVE AND THE CULMINATION OF A DREAM


Until April this year, my Sewing Studio was in the large lounge of a lovely post war home in North Ipswich, which I shared with my husband, Rod's  - "Ipswich City Acupuncture" business.  After a particularly busy children's school holiday patchwork class, where Rod's patients had to step around very excited budding patchworkers, we decided that it as time for me to finally fulfil my dream of having a Sewing Studio at home.


My new Sewing Studio

So here we are in Pine Mountain.  I started classes at the beginning of May and am loving the bright , open airy new space.  If a student needs something , it is now at my fingertips  ( or will be once I get my sewing room organised).  I have three tables with lots of room for six students, three cutting tables and two irons and boards. The students have their own bathroom and a lovely big space on which to lay out a quilt,while we decide where the blocks should go.  There is plenty of parking out the front and as we live on acreage it is always delightfully peaceful.





Life is perfect!!!!!!!
