I think I love fabric even more than I love sewing. Colors just make me happy. Bright, bold, flamboyant colors that just dare me to be grumpy. That's why it made perfect sense to me to pull all my fabric out of their bulky bins and store them out in the open-- on bright blue shelves my honey made me. I found some lovely vintage contact paper at a thrift store and I adhered it to the back of the shelves. A sewing table I found at a yard sale a year ago got a brand new facelift as well. Space is an issue for this gal who loves to craft. In other words, I have WAY TOO MUCH stuff and nowhere to put it! This little sewing nook is actually in a corner of our master bedroom. Good thing my husband's not a light sleeper, right?
Every sewing corner needs it's own lighting. So I threw a skirt over my ugly old lampshade and "dressed" it up a bit. And just like any skirt, it needed a belt to go with it. The great thing about this is that it's temporary-- I can change the look easily (and even wear it myself!)
And that's the grand tour of my new favorite corner.
What a cute corner! I love bright and cheery fabric too. I was trying to organize my sewing area today and I found myself taking more time than necessary going through my fabric. I love looking at all the different colors and patterns. You have a lot of cute fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI too am getting addicted to fabric and buttons:-) I love yours on the shelf...it looks so fun and cheery!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Joye! I feel the same exact way about fabric. I just love it! I love it way more than I know what to do with it. Ha! That is an awesome idea to store it out in the open like that. I bet it will give you inspiration too! I'm going to have to find a spot in the open for mine! I just love the bright colors of your sewing corner!!! LOVE it!

ReplyDeleteI admire people like you. Really. I do. I love fabric, too, but don't know what to do with it...:)
Your sewing corner looks beautiful! I think I like fabric more than sewing as well. But it could just be because I'm not so good at sewing...yet.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling well!
