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
More on the Michael's purchase of JoAnn. "Ever-expanding" plus it went on to say they will be carrying sewing machines, notions, and thread in stores. And there was a 50% off one item coupon - let me know if any of you need that.
I'm kind of surprised I have to sign up for emails (not sure if I want to yet) considering how many companies sell email lists.
I finally finished the patchwork jeans! @SewBrooke , the elastic in the waistband suggestion worked brilliantly. I ended up taking it as close to the button/buttonholes as I could, because the waistband I originally picked had the buttons on the wrong side and I had to piece it together/the second waistband was also collapsed in from wear. I really don’t know why, I checked against all of my jeans and I did put the fly on the correct side! Anyway, it’s done, and I’ll be happy to come up with a project that takes much less time. After I clean up the leftover bits— it looks like I used 7 pairs of jeans/shorts, so I have a lot of tops and leftover leg/waistband scraps!
