That doesn't mean I am not thinking about sewing.
I have started getting a "collection closet" together. It is shared space which will house both yarn and fabric and I have gotten some of each on the shelves. What you see here is mostly new purchases (yes it is true, when not sewing the temptation to buy fabric is somehow that much greater) but also some older fabrics that have been sitting around in my sewing room for some time.
The closet is not going to hold my entire stash, but I would like at least part of it to be a staging area for grouping together upcoming projects. I am not sure how I am going to go about it yet. At the moment I was just happy to get a few things put away.
I have these basket units from The Container Store that used to be in my clothing closet where they held sweaters.
So far, I like the baskets for the knits and I think I will continue to store them here. I have lots of space as I haven't moved that much over here yet. They look awfully pretty, and I can see what I have easily.
I am also going to use some of the baskets for coordinating fabric groupings – that is whenever I get back to sewing anything. Perhaps dreaming of groupings is pushing it a little too far.
But I still have that taupe grouping that I didn't make this summer sitting right on my cutting table. It is buried under a bunch of other things at the moment but it will eventually be unearthed. And luckily it is a color that can easily take me in toward fall.

Hey! I have the same black and green polka-dot fabric in your top pic. From Fabric Mart? I’m thinking skirt next spring. You?

Good to see you back blogging. And organized, as well — wish I had this much organization going on.
