Late to this thread - started in on the crafting room again. I emptied it out so I could clean the carpet. The animals had been using it; I got most of the smell out. I will probably have to re-rent a rug doctor again in a couple of months to take the rest of the "icky" out.
Went through the stashes & organized in to binders/notebooks, etc.
Now to actually work on the fabric piles & make them into stuff. :)

I have been organizing my sewing room for a year. Not much money to spend on it so went as cheap as I could.
Plastic baskets from the Dollartree for fats.
Wire stacking shelves from Target for 16 dollars to stack fabrics by color.
Pants hangers for odd ball panels etc.
Small drawers for all my notions and such all labeled. My daughter gets these cheap from where she works or I would not be able to afford them at 12 bucks each.
A cheap shelf for books.
I have downloaded so many free patterns that i needed 3 notebooks and deviders to store them.

Sewmom, I see we're in the same boat; not only a love of fabric but scrapbooking too. They seem to go together. I have alot of "toys" to play with. With my computer and tv here in my room, I only have to come out for food, drink, and bathroom breaks. As I clean up one area of my room, another area hollers for help! Good luck and keep the faith, it will be wonderful when we get organized (Although, I'm still looking for things I've put away in new places).
