Weekend Projects ... part one

It started simply enough: I got an email stating that I needed to take some photos of the studio for an upcoming project. Yay!

I email right back, "No problem".

Typical of me. Leap. Then look.

I look at the email again. "The photos will be due November 30". 

Right there and then, the list began to grow in my head. I need to change the skirt around my table. It's too busy. I need to make a new slip cover for the office chair. Old. And too busy. I need to paint. I need to make a new cover for the ironing board. I need to completely de-clutter. I need to empty the fabric cabinet and re-fold all the fabric. I need to remove boxes and clean the shelving, and clean the carpet. On and on and on. The list grew.

And then the realization. The week after next is Thanksgiving. Photos have to be taken this week. OMG. I have to get the room ready this weekend.

And so we did. Super Husband helped me paint an accent wall, and I've been sewing and decluttering and making this place look like Sewing Studio Mecca ever since. 

I'm still in shock I got the plaid relatively straight on this ironing board cover. I used Jona's tutorial at Stop Staring and Start Sewing for this. Jona. You rock. Thank goodness I remembered you had this. I'd have reinvented the wheel and it would have taken goodness knows how long.

In case you are wondering... that fabric IS re-folded. That's as good as it gets. 

At any rate... I'll post more about all this later. Tomorrow? Same time same station?

It's time to clean the carpet. Yeah, I know. No one will ever know in a photo. But I will.

The sewing space is looking great! I am beginning to think you like living on the edge! Or maybe you are like me and you work best under pressure ;o)

A woman after my own heart! I have been in the middle of a studio for WEEKS! Table skirts are still not done, pictures not re-hung and cutting table is in the process of being made! So jealous of how FAB your looks! Great job lady!

It looks beeeee-utiful! The blue is the perfect backdrop to your fabric. A lot of work but it's going to be worth it. Thanks for the peek. : )
