Watch me grow


Bags o' Fabric

Sewing equipment

The above two pix show the whole of my sewing equipment and materials, except for a smallish pile of patterns. I have yet to figure out a classy way to store these things that is out of the way yet easily usable. But when I do come up with a way I need to allow for expansion. I need room for more fabric, probably in clear boxes, perhaps for larger cutting boards, even, eventually, another sewing machine? I think it will be a while before I am looking for that, fortunately, but I am thinking about the serious sew-people I know (I don't like the term "seamstresses", which implies they are all women). Well, what is everything up there?

* A folding table. Six feet long, about 2-1/2 feet wide.
* Sewing machine
* Portable notions carrier (the purple thing) that has two plastic trays with thread and notions in them, plus pockets for scissors and other miscellaneous stuff
* Plastic boxes of fabric and additional notions
* Green cutting mat and clear straight-edge cutting edge
* Two soft bags of fabric

The investment is growing. So also is my enjoyment. I doubt I will save money in this enterprise but I'll be able to make what I want.
