Why I haven't been sewing - from Riquee.com

This is a post from my Web site Riquee.com and it's also on my blog, "Made By Riquee" .

First of all, I have been sewing a little, hemming pants here and there, but I haven't been working on my own garments. I haven't been sewing for many reasons:

1. My sewing room is a mess; it's turned into a dressing room/closet for me.
2. I need fabric. I need lots of fabric.
3. I need a dress form, but that's coming soon, although I'm not going to wait for one to sew.
4. I work full-time.

I took before and after pictures to show why I couldn't sew in this room.

Here's an "after" pic. The room also poses as a guest room, so I use the bed as a makeshift layout area.


It's embarrassing, but i hope it will inspire me to get organized and start sewing consistently. Here are the before pics. Brace yourself, and don't think less of me.





Here is part one of the after pics. I still need to get organization for my fabric and a new ironing board, a dress form, and a sewing table - and get that bed out of there!






There will be updates at least weekly.

If you have any affordable organizational suggestions for my fabric, or anything else, feel free to share. Thank you for visiting the Web site!
