Sewing Room Brain Blitz...

Recently the sewing room had a mini-makeover. Brilliant, but a few minor hiccups have resulted, one being a major problem. The new doors are beautiful staggered doors to open up the room...

Downside is that I have lost the door handle and hooks on the back of the old door which always had been in full use with 'under construction' garments hanging in readiness.

Solution...a trip to IKEA and the purchase of a bathroom towel rail...

Now I have soooo much hanging space!!! Room for not just my current garments, but also for a few accessories (new fabric, necklaces, scarves) to motivate my next projects...The four arms are movable to accommodate a huge amount of hangers, and also it is high enough on the wall to hang long dresses or pants as needed.

How is that for thinking outside the box??? And those unfinished garments are in full view to make me guilty for not finishing them before starting the next one - where the fun is in that I don't know!!!

Oh, and one other idea was to re-use the old coffee mug holder from the kitchen for my new scissor holder. So now the family knows, finally, that if the scissors are on my stand they are not for use by others...such a hard mother, I know, but sewing scissors are taboo to others...

Ok, now that my room is gradually getting to be 'more me' I need to make an effort on those unfinished projects...
