The Sewing Mom

Obviously, from the name of my blog, I am a sewer. I truly enjoy creating things from scratch and watching the project grow until it’s completed. This is probably why I enjoy sewing bags. I can create a bag in less than a day, usually. Each and every one is unique and I can make them in so many different ways. I never get bored with them. What I do tend to get bored with is the way my sewing room is organized.

I am always on the lookout for sewing accessories for my sewing room. Currently, I have a craft cabinet that I use for my sewing machine. It has storage and a fold out table which is very nice, but the table isn’t wide enough for when I’m sewing larger projects. I have to keep a hand under the fabric that’s hanging off the edge so that it doesn’t pull on what’s going under the needle. The cabinet would be better used for scrapbooking. I also have a retired computer cabinet that is currently being used to store my fabric stash and miscellaneous craft items such as embroidery threads and fabric paints. This isn’t a bad use of the cabinet, but I would really like to have some shelving units for my fabric so that I can see it at all times. It’s awkward having to pull it in and out of the cabinet to see what I have. I do this a lot when I’m starting a new project.

I was just doing some online shopping and found a great six shelf bookcase at Overstock.com that would be perfect for storing my fabric. It would even give me enough space to expand my fabric stash! Even better though, while I was at their website, I discovered the Game O Love contest that begins tomorrow and runs until February 11.

To enter the Game O Love contest, pick out any item from their website that you’d like to win for your sweetheart (or in my case, myself!) and submit it, along with your email address. Very simple! So take advantage! Get over to Overstock.com's Valentine's Day Game and enter!
