I haven't been able to sew for the last few weeks.
At first, I thought it was just the change in the seasons. Then, I thought maybe I need to increase my vitamin intake. But, finally, I realized:
I. NEED. A. SEWING. SPACE.
Previously, I kept fabric in a box in an empty spot in the living room.
I had miscellaneous items (patterns / notions / fabric scraps) in a shopping bag in a corner of the dining room.
The sewing machine has been on the nightstand of my bedroom.
The ironing board somewhere between the hall closet, the living room or my bedroom - just depending.
And, everytime I want to sew something - I end up wandering from room to room to room. Trying to assemble everything I need. I won't even mention the number of times, I end up getting distracted as I walk from one room to the next.
Well, not any more.
I totally love my dining room. And, I especially love coming home and seeing the table nicely decorated, but for the immediate future - at least until, I find that it's time for me to move somewhere more spacious. The Dining Room will Officially serve as Audrey's SEWING Studio.
I added a wheeled 3 drawer cart for fabric / pattern / notion storage. I have some crocheting items stored in a DSW brown bag (until, I find the right storage solution). I have enough space to stand up the ironing board. I can easily set the sewing machine up on the dining room table. And, more importantly - I'm able to have everything in one centralized location.
I feel so much better. I feel like pressure has been lifted from my brain. I love knowing that everything is organized. I love having a dedicated space. And, I'm so much more relaxed that I'm ready to get back to creating.
I'm keeping everything on wheels - in the event that I need to use my studio as a dining room. Then, I'll be able to push everything into my bedroom or closet.
Needles Up,
Always Audrey
