How did you do your closet? I had a room refinished to use as a sewing room and I had adjustable shelves put in the closet. Unfortunately, I can see the metal starting to bend and the shelf is starting to tip forward. _Too much fabric and "stuff" - I keep having visions of all those shelves tumbling down, one on top of the other. I want to have permanent shelves built in and I am trying to decide how I want them set up. Any advice would be appreciated.

Mine was a very small closet in a very small, unused guest room......It had one bar across it and these garment hangers have velcro wraps that go around the bars.and believe me, they hold very good.
That's it...all you have to do after that is fill with fabric !!!!!

I got the book "creating your PERFECT QUILTING SPACE" sewing-room makeovers for any space and any budget. by Lois L Hallock. She has one sewing space that is only 4'X10' in one cornor of a family room, small rooms 9'X10' that doubles as a guest room. rooms as large as 19'X29" (double car garage) and 16'X29', It really is a great book and worth every cent! So many ideas, and really wonderful rooms and spaces!

My sewing studio is wonderful but it is directly under the rafters so my storage area are little doors that lead to the space hidden under the rafters that are too low to be part of the room. Consequently I have to kind of crawl in there, on hands and knees, and I chronically bonk my head. I hope to post pictures maybe later.
