My post on Sewing Room Organization is here. That post shows that basic room. I have now drawn my furniture to scale. Here is the furniture:
The cutting table closed up is sitting between the Sewing Desk and the Singer. Doesn't this layout look like it should work? I really thought this would be a great setup but I can not seem to keep it neat. Really I have too much stuff. Here's how I thought this room would work:
This is how I thought the room would work when I needed to cut things out and the previous picture is how I thought things would when I didn't need the cutting table. Perhaps, I should clean up the room and leave the cutting table open all the time. This would allow easy access to all the storage areas under my cutting table. When the cutting table is folded up and pushed into it's home, I only have easy access to one side of the storage.
I think I am going to rethink this whole re-organization. I actually still like my room the way it is arrange. I think that the real issue is my ability to keep the room neat. If I leave the cutting table open in the middle of the room, I will have space to add an ironing board.
So, does anyone have any advice on keeping the room neat? I suppose the real answer is putting things away when I am done with them and then cleaning the room between projects. I am really bad about not taking the time to clean between projects along with just dumping stuff in the room.
Okay, I am off to start the cleaning process. If I can get the room cleaned up, I should be able to return the items to the room that have migrated to other parts of the house. I would love to hear that you think of my layout.
Happy Stitching!
