Jade & I recently upgraded from our 2001 edition computer to a new laptop - yes we're greatly behind the times! After the switch & a new tasteful desk setup in our bedroom I realized I have a big computer armoire with nothing in it!
God Bless Martha Stewart - she had a armoire/sewing closet on her website! It was brilliant. So I set my own up. Now, please remember I haven't sewn much at all in the past several years of my life & I'm just back into it when time allows. So I don't have much yet, but I'm starting my collection.
It is the perfect size. It has enough room for my machine, all my fabrics & scrap booking supplies. Some added nails allow me to hang up some things out of the way.
A bottom shelf holds all my crafting supplies that I'm starting to accumulate.
Everyone needs a jar of old jewelry to remake into something else.
Buttons - umm yes I want more please!
Oh and etsy - again I completely heart you! I scored 2 packs of scrap fabrics. These have already made 2 lampshades. My sisters & I also intend to cut these down to tie our tags onto our pieces for sale. I love the colors & prints they sent me!
Vintage yo-yos - I can find a purpose!
Lastly, my new collection of fabrics. I again got these off of etsy. It was only $5 for 2 1/2 yards of scrap pieces that were each 1/2 a yard. I bought several sets & was thrilled. They are large enough to make pillows, lamp shades, you name it - it can be done! I just love having beautiful fabric laying around - call me crazy, but it's makes me happy!
Lovin' the fabrics! I need a pop of color these days. So dang gray and dreary outside! Happy Sewing! I want to see a project post! Oh, and Country Living had a garland for a kids room they made from the YoYos. It was so fun draped like a banner. ;o) ~mary~
ReplyDeleteThe Yo Yo garland is a brilliant idea! Thanks Mary!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! LOVING the fabrics!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible at picking fabrics. I need a 'kit' where they all come together! ;)
Can't wait to see your projects.

ReplyDeleteCheck out etsy - seriously at their prices - you can't afford not too :) I loved my kits - $5 for 2 1/2 yards - awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHow COOL, you've got a big old space just crying to be filled up with crafting supplies, woo hoo!!!!
