Spring Organizing Fever

I haven't been sewing much, but I have been organizing! I finally went through ALL of my patterns and made it easier to see what I have at a glance. I followed the standard scheme: keep pattern envelope in a plastic sheet protector in binders divided by clothing type, then store patterns in paper or zip bags in numerical order. I have about 130-150 patterns...not too excessive!

I organized the fabric next...this hanging cubby works well. I put wovens in it and put the knits of the shelves to the right...


Here are the knits! No more fabric lurking in bins...well, except for my scrap bin...that is packed full of little bits of fabric. I didn't have the energy to redo that bin. I tried rolling the fabric to see if that would work (instead of folding) and I decided that I didn't like it. Rolling seems to stretch the knits and put stress on them. It seems to create lots of wrinkles on the wovens. I think I'd like to get another hanging cubby to fold some more fabric and it will be great. I could use some order in my notions bins, but I need to start working on summer clothes. I have a few dresses planned in addition to summer tee shirts. I know that many of my short sleeve tees are super duper short in the torso.
I feel good when I go into my neat(er) sewing room...now, I should stop blogging and get working on the summer wardrobe!
