The Art of Organization {Craft Rooms}

Hi, lovely Elf House readers, I am so excited to be guest posting here on lovely Amanda’s blog.

I am Claire, I blog over at Polkadot-Pretties, where i talk about my journey through motherhood, crafts, sewing, starting a business and pretty things along the way. Stop by and say 'Hi', I love to meet new friends.

So the focus for my guest post is Craft Room Organisation...

I am lucky enough to have a room in my home, for all my sewing and crafting projects, {it’s my favourite room}.

For me it’s really important to have things organised,especially when starting new projects.

Here are my top 5 tips for creating a space that works.....

     1. Storage ~ store your materials/fabric by colour, that way it makes it easy to visualise projects  and helps you keep track of what you have. Having a place for everything will reduce the time you spend looking for things and more time creating.

     2.  Easy access to the essentials you use most ~ I have a small fabric basket on my sewing table, with the things I use the most, like,small scissors, pen, labels, small rubber stamp and ribbon. Having these things on hand make projects quicker and less stressful.

     3.  Folders ~ I use different coloured folders to store different project ideas and patterns.

     4.  A bi-monthly sort out ~ Every other month I try to sort through my fabrics,especially as my taste in fabrics and colours has changed over the last year {don’t throw them away, sell them as fabric bundles}.

     5.  Tidy up ~ After you have finished your projects,spend some time tidying up. Having a clean workspace to start the next day will make you motivated to get started on your next project.
