Space Case

Alright so the first challenge will be space. Or lack of it. Here is a picture of my dorm room layout.
As you can see there is very little room, and I have so much stuff. Since this is just to survive freshman year before I apply for an on campus apartment I am only going to bring my sewing stuff (Ha, Ha). As anyone who sews you know that the word "only" doesn't even exist. Here is a list of only my sewing stuff.

  • Sewing machine
  • the stash (this actually needs subcategories)
    • cloth
    • interfacing
    • ribbons
    • other embellishments
    • patches
    • buttons
    • yarn (i know not technically sewing but still...)
    • items to be recycled
    • plastic bags (this will be a post all on its own)
  • scissors
  • thread
  • a cutting mat
  • a rotary cutter
  • pinking shears
  • needles
  • embroider floss
  • other small tools
  • ohhh yeah and my bias tape machine

Add this to the list of what I am already supposed to pack and well, it starts to add up.

The next challenge  is making it look like I am a regular college student, you know by day. I sew one of a kind garments by night... like the batman of crafting? Me looking normal = hiding all of my junk. But I still need to be able to access it. I will post along the way as well as post projects.

Even If you don't live in a dorm I think this applies to anyone living in a small place. That is perhaps shared with another person. Well we will see how this goes. My roommate is excited, I will probably have to make her some cute clothes in payment for her putting up with me.
