Tidy Up

I have been spending some time getting the sewing room tidy. A little clutter while working can help spark creativity but sometimes it gets so messy that I spend most of my time looking for things and not finding them.I am thinking of starting some sewing classes again.  I need to be able to quickly set up my sewing machines, which I dug out from DEEP in the back of the closet.

I also need to corral all those class supplies like right handed scissors and the big flower and butterfly pins that are easy for children to use.

I'll keep working on it. Maybe I'll be ready by the time P's classmates are old enough to take lessons.
