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
I finally finished the quilt for my daughter. I couldn’t take pictures of the entire thing (her room is a disaster zone), but here’s some of the patchwork and the embroidered square I made because I ended up being one short. I did learn that I’m going to need to find a better way to lay out any future quilts that are twin sized or larger, because I had to keep shifting it around the slightly too small area of our basement carpet and the backing ended up getting doubled up in multiple places. By the time I discovered it, I couldn’t bring myself to unpick that much of the quilting, so it’ll have to stay. But I think it’s going to be awhile before I do any more quilts. Between this and the patchwork jeans (which I did end up having to shorten some), I’m feeling burned out on big projects for now. I did cut out a basic knit tee, so hopefully that’ll be enough of a palate cleanser to get me over the lack of motivation to sew that I was feeling by the end of this.
