My sewing room

Here in our new house I have a small sewing room with a nice sized closet.  I needed shelves so my sweet husband put some up for me.  We started out with cheap boards and he didn't like how they looked so we went to Lowe's and he bought the nice wire shelves.  They really are very nice.
They are adjustable so I can configure them however I want.  I was able to lay all my fabric out and to my dismay I don't have very much. 
Here is the nice sized closet I can use to organize more of my crafts.
The closet still needs a bit of organization but its coming along.  I have my yarn and other craft items stashed in there.
The next thing we need to do for my sewing room is get better lighting.  Right now there is a ceiling fan with a light kit that has very small bulbs in it and they cant be changed out because of the way the base of the lights are made.  Jeff is going to look at it to see if he can change out the whole light kit.  We are also trying to figure out some type of lighting that would run along under the shelves.  I have been sewing and using this room for a while now but with these improvements it will make it so much easier and more pleasant.

How wonderful! You will really enjoy that and I'm sure your fabric stash will expand to fill the space available! Isn't there some kind of rule about that? ;)

I think there is some rule about that Yolanda. I am going to figure out how to get the best deals at Joanns so I can use better fabric than what I have always used from Walmart. It is so much nicer.

Thank you for your kind comments.

You are right. Be sure to get on JoAnn's mailing list and you will be notified of sales. Whenever possible, I only buy thread when it's 50% off and you can often get patterns very cheaply too. If you don't mind the lines, Black Friday is an excellent time to stock up.
