reorganized

I've been in a major sewing slump for months now, I just don’t feel like sewing anything for myself, I really need to find that love of sewing again. I know its there its just hiding. but for something fun about sewing I did finish reorganizing my fabric. it was a total disaster, any time I touched anything on the fabric shelf everything would fall off. so began the looking around at blogs for ideas of how to corral this mess I had created. and I found the cutest idea of using mini bolts. they seemed so perfect except the price. so I thought on it for a while and came up with how to make my own. I ended up with sixty three of them and I really like the way it turned it out.
here is the before and afters:






see now isn't that just so much nicer.

I put anything over half a yard on the mini bolts and anything less had to fit in two fabric boxes. I also had to be able to fit all my fabric on one bookcase. so I ended up getting rid of some, including some beautiful wool that I loved but was just way to allergic to. so now I am only allowing myself to have what fits on the bolts and the shelf(I do still have two empty bolts.). if I want more it has to be for a specific project or, if all my bolts are full, but I just need this way cute thing for my stash I have to get rid of something. my space is so limited with most of my bedroom being my sewing area, I just needed it to neaten up. I also went through my patterns and got rid of twenty of them, I had some that I had made and hated, a few of them were repeats in the same sizes, and some were just so close to another pattern it seemed silly to keep both. I have had my notions and threads organized forever so that wasn’t anything I had to mess with. I am happy with the way everything turned out and how everything now has a place. maybe now that it is more organized I will get back that want to sew.
