Sewing stuff
I haven’t posted for awhile – I’ve been trying to sort out the spare room. It has become a bit of a dumping ground for anything we don’t currently need, which means a bit of baby stuff, heaters/fans, books, geneology info, a large coffee table that is not practical with kids, a spare dining table, an old speaker. There are boxes of A’s stuff that I dare not even touch. What takes up a good deal of room though is the craft/sewing stuff that Mum hoarded/collected.
I’ve burrowed my way in and made a space where I can sit to sew. I’ve gone through the sewing stuff and tried to sort it out into specific boxes so, at this point in time I have:
Two 100L tubs – one for fabric, one for patterns.
Two 53L tubs – both containing trim, zips, buttons, ribbons, threads etc.
One 20L tub – contains threads and bobbins.
Two big boxes about the same size as the 100L tubs containing fabric.
Five nappy boxes of fabric.
Then there is the basket full of half finished items and clothes that need to be mended. Not to mention what I think I’ll call the 10 year quilt – some of the squares were cut out by Mum. The pins had gone rusty in some spots so I chucked them.
I bought the 100L tubs last week in an effort to consolidate the other nappy boxes I had full of fabric, but I think I might need another four to really get it all down into a neat set of boxes.
Obviously I’ve been doing a bit of sewing and will upload those photos soon.
