My new little sewing room is finished, I just need to arrange all my treasures. Fabric needs sorting as it is in cardboard boxes and hard to find what I want. I'm also led by trying different fabrics together when planning a project, so without the visual inspiration they take longer to get off the ground.
I prefer the little room to the large one I had before for some reason, it's cosy and snug. My pretty little den.
Thanks to Mr FKs wall building, door frame making, painting and curtain hanging skills it is up and running and already looking messy....I mean lived in! The door was going spare from a friend renovating a couple of houses and will probably get a lime wash type finish at some point.
The curtain is two re-purposed tablecloths, rescued from the jumble for a pound each. The larger one had a mark in the centre so I stitched the smaller one in place to hide it. Such wonderful, detailed work, months of effort given new life in my sewing room.
Just so you don't think it's all calm serenity, here is the messy view of the shelves I need to sort out! And the Little Bo Peep outfit my Mum made for a fancy dress competition when I was about 5.
