Tackle It Tuesday – My Sewing Space

I had seen tackle it tuesday done on some blogs and I immediately knew I needed to participate this week. My sewing space was in major need of a clean up and revamp.

Here’s my sewing machine(Singer Futura) and serger(babylock imagine) on a clean table (I didnt take a before pic of this table for a reason… it was embarassingly overfull)

Here is how I am storing my metal and polyresin snaps.

I organised my ribbons and put them in a drawer so I can easily get to them.

And here is the big job! I had to prewash all this fabric, iron and then fold it so that it looks neat and is accessible. It is AMAZING…. these fabrics took up 2 cabinets of this size… after it was ruler folded using this tutorial I fit it all into one cabinet.

As a beginner sewer I did not color code my fabrics(since I do not have nearly enough) so I organised them based on fabric type.

Upper shelf from left to right: Minky, ribbing, knits, woven
Bottom: fleece, bamboo velour, microfleece, suedecloth, pul(diaper making fabrics), and flannels.

I wonder if I should fold my baby blankets this way… 🙂
