texasgirl - What a neat, useful and pretty sewing room!
Sunny - I'm envious of being able to put everything away when you're not using it.
kamikat - I love your thread wall! As you'll see in my pictures, boxes are pretty much the best suggestion I've come up with for organization. It was a lot of work, but putting fabric on bolts has really helped with keeping it neat and accessible.
CherryRed - Your room looks so inspiring. I love the colour of the walls!
Snookie - You have such a polished looking spot! I agree, you have to use the walls (up!) to fit everything.
Lauren - I can't wait to see your studio too!
How do you manage to cut on tables? I've tried a couple times (on the rare occasions I've cleared an actual table) and I always end up frustrated and putting the fabric back down on the floor.
I actually took some pictures of my sewing room a couple months ago after cleaning it (it was a momentous occasion), so I'd love to share.
My flickr set is here (this is the first photo. Click on it to go to the link and then just keep clicking on the next photo to see them all. They've got lots of little notes if you hover your mouse over the photos.)
And... as will become obvious... I'm first a SF/F costumer geek and second a vintage sewer, so be prepared

Ha! Thanks!Snookie said:Kamikat - it looks like some serious work happens in your room! There's no question a true seamstress is in there. For organizing, you've got some good pieces - the thread wall, shelving, great tables. I agree with Laughing Magpie, that good boxes would help a lot - if they're uniform in size they can fit together/stack easier, your fabric bins are a good example. Most of your shelves could fit twice as much stuff if everything was in a box instead of piles. Like you, I use clear bins for my fabric, it's easier to find things.
