A sewing room biography..... seems like a good place of introduction.
I've always been a sewer, (and I'm in that space where I'd rather not do the math). So, this is a space and a collection of books, and things, and a setting that have been accumulated over many years. If you're interested in getting to know me, or think about following this new blog endeavor of mine, perhaps taking a peek inside my workroom is a good place to start.

I finally ordered a linen color card. Can't have too much linen. |
It finally dawned on me a magnet board was a great place to keep pattern pieces at hand to keep them from floating about the room! And a great spot for an idea board.

And... pattern storage.
