We just had radiant barrier sealant added to our roof, and a bunch more insulation added, and we have a wonderful air conditioner, for which we are most grateful. Set on 79, we are comfortable to cool! Just read somewhere that it was 111 in Dallas today.

I tried different ways of folding my fabric, and found this the best for ease in seeing what I have. I also organize into themes, like Christmas, juvenile, checks, dots, etc. I put my FQs and projects in progress in the tubs on top. I have to be honest and say that I have some baskets on another shelf with projects, too, but I did reduce my stash quite a bit when I got the cubes!

It was indeed that hot here too. Stiffling. Love how you are doing your room. We had insulation added in the attic as well. Keep ours on 78 and it stays really nice and doesn't have to run much. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
YOu look like you have been doing it forever. Very professional. HUGS

I'll be looking for more pictures! It's looking great!
(I hope you didn't mind me posting one of mine, but I wanted to show you how I fold the fabric in those great cubes)

You go girl!! It's great that you are fixing what doesn't work for you. I know how much work it is rearranging all your fabric stash. My sewing room is in what would normally be a living room so it's right in the front of the house. I straighten it up before relatives visit and around Christmas. The rest of the time it's a bit stacked up. Keep us posted on your progress.
