Beach robes

 I've made 2 beach robes for my grandsons, I used towels I found in the local charity shop #Mundesleylifeboat, Edwards one was made out of pale blue with green and white striped sleeves and Matthews is made from a white towel

Sewing room re-visited

 

Its been a while but after a unexpected stay in hospital for 4 weeks then a further week for surgery and moths of rest, we finally got round to sorting out my sewing room these are the before photos.

With the storage units built by the husband almost complete.

just needs painting and I can start putting my yarns on the own cubicles 

Its now got its nice white gloss finish

I can now go straight to the yarn I'm looking for rather than searching through numerous boxes, and my materials and fat quarters are easy to find all sorted on shelves in the cupboard

Sewing room

New sewing room

The  move to Norfolk I had 3 stipulation for our new house.

1)  a large kitchen as I love cooking and baking and intend to make all my own bread, cakes, pies and jams.

2) a large lounge for cosy nights by the fire

3)  a sewing room, so I didn't have to constantly pack everything away every night

So with this in mind I've been looking for ideas for the perfect sewing room

I need a large sturdy cutting table, a sewing machine table and comfy chair, lots of storage for materials and yarns, hanging space for dresses, trousers and knitwear, shelves for folders and books, racks for cotton reels and ribbons, and pin board for ideas and draws for scissors cutting blades and pens pencils and tapes.  Theses are a few ideas I found 

I love this organised cotton reel / tools board

I particularly like this idea to keep my materials nice and crease free

I will defiantly utilise some of these ideas into my sewing room.
