Organising sewing supplies

Organising sewing supplies

One of my (potentially over-ambitious) organisation goals for Jan-Feb was to get the home office sorted. All good to plan these things when you're relaxing on holidays, but facing the reality of this is quite a big job, particularly with kids at your feet 24/7! So, I'm tackling the home office in stages, which is a good way to approach any overwhelming job.

I often get asked 'what does a personal organiser actually do?' so today I thought I would share a recent job I completed so you can see for yourself! Basically, I am passionate about helping others get organised in their homes. This blog gives lots of tips and ideas, but sometimes it can be too overwhelming to tackle a disorganised space yourself, no matter how much information you have about how to do it. That is where I can step in and help you set up a space that works for you [and your family], essentially helping you to 'take back your life'.

A few months ago, a client asked me to help organise her sewing room. She had just moved into a new house, and needed help setting up the space. In order to come up with an exciting plan for moving forward, I researched some 'real' spaces, looking for rooms that were not only beautiful, but could also be achieved without spending a lot of money. Here's some of the amazing inspiration I came across for organised, top-functioning and beautiful craft and sewing spaces.

If you've been following along on our 'storage cupboard journey', I've shared how my husband built the unit, and the inspiration pictures I looked at to help me work out how to organise the space. Today I'm showing how exactly how I create a plan for organising a space before diving in.

Today I'm doing a round-up of some beautifully organised family command centers. I've been doing a bit of 'Pinterest-research' on these recently, trying to come up with the best system for our own space. I actually have too many ideas at the moment! I want to try to incorporate bag storage into our little nook, so it could be a bigger project than I initially thought. Might need to get hubby on the tools again!
