CHALLENGE: Organize a space in your home!
posted by: amy purple - Purple Pink and Orange.

I'm gonna take the challenge. I need to keep my space free of clutter. i have no motivation when I have such an unruly area for creating.

What Needs to be Done:

• Fold and put all fabric in a specific place, not all over everything



• Get rid of / organize whats in the plastic bags



• Put away all non-sewing related items where they belong



• Put all scissors on shelf hooks - why else did we put up the shelf??!



• Put all papers, patterns, books, etc on the shelf in an orderly fashion



• Keep all dangerous tools up and out of baby's reach - she just lOVES that seam ripper and pin cushion!



• Throw scraps away!



• Put away all finished projects
