I've been meaning to post progress pics as we do things, but I'm a few weeks behind, so this is a bit of a photo dump.
I brought a dresser from my house and organized the ironing stuff. Top two drawers are all fusible things. Bottom two drawers are Janet's patterns with a drawer for garment bags in the middle.
We hung a few more photos and an 1883 poster. There have even been a couple more things added that were waiting for frames when took these photos.
It took about a week of sorting (piles of bags in photo 7 and that wasn't even all of it!), but now all the beads & sequins are organized by type & color at the studio! It was like the longest game of memory to match all the like items together. And everything fits neatly into the bookcases with very efficient use of space thanks to The Container Store containers I bought to hold the beads & sequins. No more digging through boxes and having to pull half the shelves apart to find something!
Last photo is our fabric shelves. We can see what we have and there's room for more with it neatly rolled.

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.
Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.
Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
