The Sewing Mom

Three weeks ago, I cleaned my sewing room, top to bottom. I wish I had taken a photo of it before I started, but unfortunately, I can only attempt to relay to you a mental picture of how much stuff was in the room, in what I can only call a somewhat organized, and yet chaotic fashion. The furniture in the room consists of a daybed, an old computer hutch currently being used to store fabric, and a craft cabinet where I store most of my sewing supplies. With just those 3 pieces of furniture, the room is actually quite roomy.

However, after several months of frenzied sewing projects going on both pre-holiday as well as after the holiday, my pretty sewing room had become quite cluttered. There was so much fabric stacked up on the daybed, the bed itself was invisible. The cabinet doors on either cabinet couldn’t be closed because of all of the supplies and fabric spilling out of them. I also had 2 folding tables set up in the room, one that my sewing machine was sitting on with a rolling desk chair pulled up to it, and the other I used as my cutting table. In the middle of all of that I had my ironing board set up. I had just enough space in the room to walk through, sideways, stepping over the cord to the iron.

I knew the room had to be cleaned up and reorganized, I just hadn’t intended on letting it reach the point that I was going to need construction trucks or specialized equipment like a TSE trailer to haul it all out! Seriously, I think a digger truck would have been very helpful to load up all of the fabric and haul it out just so I could get a handle on the rest of the room. I really though I was going to have to rent a bucket truck from Asher & Sons in order to get to the top of the fabric pile!

Of course I doubt I would actually ever have to rent a truck to help clean my sewing room, at least I hope not,  but at least I do know that Look to Al Asher & Sons is the place to go for a large, diversified inventory of late-model, pre-owned bucket trucks, digger derricks, stinger cranes, cable pulling and transport trailers, crew trucks, and specialized equipment from many well-known manufacturers.
