I think it’s time to go make a mess 😉
PS: I’m having a little giveaway on Facebook to celebrate the arrival of this gorgeous fabric in our little shop. Maybe Spring is just around the corner after all…
PPS: I am linking up with The Organizing Junkie’s Weekly challenge. I don’t have paper messes anywhere (those stay pretty organized) but I consider this space my ‘office’ 🙂
Kelsey says
Such a pretty space!! I need to do a big organize day but I’m waiting until I get my own “new” sewing room this year!
Michelle @ needle and nest says
What a lovely space you have! Thanks for sharing the reality… I think most of our spaces look like that more often than not. LOL
Catherine says
What a cute blogpost!!! Congrats on the fresh space – – what a nice way to start the new year.
Anna says
Wow, what a cleaning spree! I had a similar spree here the other day… I definitely need a better fabric and yarn storage solution!
Kara @me_and_elna says
It looks so good! Think of all the inspiration you’ll have now from such a pretty, tidy space! 🙂
Tiara says
Its so much easier to be messy but definitely more productivity when you can easily find everything that you need. I myself am constantly unorganizing and reorganizing my sewing room. If only I had a maid 🙂
Heidi @ Fabric Mutt says
I love this post, Amanda! I need to go do a little organizing myself…
Tina says
What a wonderful way to start the new year!

I really need one of those thread holders for the wall. Right now I have the ‘cupboard under the stairs’ as my sewing closet. But the tiny space has reached max capacity and any more ‘crap’ in there will make it so I can’t close the door. My machine is on a small sewing desk in the living room. One item on my New Year’s Resolution To-Do-List (12 items I want to accomplish this year) is to not buy anything new this year. Hopefully I can weed out the closet by a lot. 🙂
Danny says
Seriously, girlie. This looks great! You’ve done a wonderful job getting yourself ready for 2013! Want to come do mine now? 🙂
Rachel says
Your space looks great! I love how you even organized your books in color order. I might copy that! 🙂
Dora, the quilter says
Wonderful accomplishment(s). Beautiful!
Katy(LethargicLass) says
An annoying and hard job, but job well done! What is on the upper shelf above your desk?
WendyC says
There is nothing better than well organized sewing space wether it is a room, a table in a corner, or storage in a closet. The only problem is I would rather spend the time sewing and quilting!
gina f. says
i, too, always think of the time spent cleaning is lost sewing time but it is hard to sew efficiently when it looks like a fabric explosion. You have a happy sewing space and i love your sewing machine!
Cathy K. says
Great job! Now you can come and organize my sewing room! 😉
Maribeth says
I am so jealous! I wish I had a nice sewing space and all that fabric! Thanks for the inspiration!
Brennan's Mom says
Love, love, love your space! Great work and AWESOME fabric!
Lee says
an inspiration for sure!! I need to organize!
EA Bussey says

AmieJo says
