AilbheI got tired of transferring chair shapes to pattern paper so I decided to improve my sewing space. This desk is permanently in the room, but when I need to I can clamp an A1 drawing board to a little folding table for a large flat surface. #SewingSpace #Organising
I had to iron and trace around it with chalk in stages, because although the pattern piece fits on my A1 drawing board, that's because it has no seam allowance. So that was a bit fiddly. But once the piece was cut out, I could sit and watch telly while I threadmark it. #Sewing #SewingSpace
The pegboard holds what it did before, but it looks less busy. I found a little box to use as a tray for my synthetic threads (not many) and realised I had space to put away a reel of linen thread in a plastic drawer. With the other linen thread. I suspect a child borrowed it.
I put away some other stuff but you can see that the desk is still very covered. Maybe I'll have a good idea tomorrow.
I started with the pegboard - took everything off, removed all the hooks, covered it in scrap paper, and put the hooks back on.
Yes, I'm transferring the pegboard layout to paper so that I have a pattern for the next stage. BUT I could do this mostly sitting down, which is an improvement over standing to draw huge chair bits. #SewingSpace #Organising
