Playing with fabric :)

Slowly but surely, I'm moving my supplies back into the loft / sewing room. I could leave it until the weekend but I'm hoping to do a little bit after work each night so that I can spend ALL day Saturday sewing :D

Thank you from me and DH for all the lovely comments you left about our decorating efforts - the pink Annie Sloane 'accents' were a hit with you too!

So, tonight I moved all my fabric back - I was up and down the ladder 6-7 times ... erm, there is quite a bit of it! I know I don't have the largest stash (go and Google 'large fabric stash' and look at the images of some very very large stashes!) but I was quite flabbergasted to see it all piled up:


And shame, there was even some I had forgotten about which I really need to use up:


Everything over 1/2 yard went back into the hanging baskets (wrapped around comic boards) and my fat quarters went back onto the cd shelf:


So far, it's all looking good up there. I'm not allowing myself any new purchases (fabric, storage or furniture) until it's all unpacked and I can assess what I need (not what I want!) Tricky ... very tricky :)

Best I get creating sooooooooooon!!

    Wow - you have made great progress and it's looking great especially the 'pink' you put in for a punch!! What a transformation! You have a nice little stash and I really like how you are storing it. Great ideas that I might have to poach. I am particularly liking that little fashion fabric with the Eiffel tower - super cute!

    You are going to have such a lovely, lovely room when it's done! I love how you are organizing it.

    Soon and very soon I am going to have some pink paint to play with, too!!

    So sweet. I'm looking at my storage all crammed with fabric and a mess and thinking I'm going to take an afternoon and copy my friend Jen. Looks lovely, my dear.
