Clean the New Year in Right!

 Last weekend with my time off I gave my room and closet/sewing room a good cleaning and re-organization. The best way to bring in a new year, don't you think?
I live in an old house that has wonderful walk-in closets that you can get lost in! My closet is both a closet and my sewing nook. I am now able to move my sewing space out to a bigger place, but for now I love coziness of it! I can tuck myself away from the everthing and not get disturbed. mostly because I am hard to find!
 Come right in!
Part of my milk bottle collection I try to make useful and a pattern for inspiration.

 My little 50s Kennmore sewing machine. I love her. We have been through so much together! I think this is the first sewing machine that was mine, as I learned on my Mom's. Not so crazy about the color, but love the size. It is a half size machine.
 A little inspiration on the walls!
 My new organizer boxes! So everything is just not a heap on the table.
 Of course there is one for aprons! And one for fabric waiting to be made into aprons.
More vintage ads on the other wall.
It was really hard to get good pictures as it is such a small space! Well, small with a sewing table in it! I am quite proud of my little space as for years and years I just had to sew on the dining room table. I love tucking myself in and losing myself in a project.
Do you have a sewing space or crafting room?

  2. When we bought our current house, I told dh we needed enough bedrooms so I could have a dedicated sewing room. Being in my 50s at the time, I felt I had "earned" that privilege! Right now it is a mess, but on my to do list to attack it next week and get it all cleaned up so I can get back in there to play. I am purging my whole house, but the sewing room is first so I have a place to go take a break!

  3. After our daughters all left home, I now have a bedroom converted into my sewing room. Popa built a big cabinet for me, and I have enough room for my quilting frames to stay out all the time. Your space looks cozy and neat!
