    Christine, I also follow Chris’s channel and I have been impressed by his dogged pursuit of the back wall of his storage shed. I have noticed a difference in the mental attitude of men compared to women when it comes to stockpiles of materials. Men view them as a never ending treasure store that continually amazes and delights. As long as the emergency storage has a box in it the treasure hunt will continue, so why rush? Women, on the other hand, view stockpiles as oppressive, onerous burdens to be organized, used, and cleared out with no respite until complete. I formerly felt pressured by my unrepaired chairs, unrestored vintage tools, and lumber stockpile. But after realizing that I have a virtually endless potential for enjoyment, learning, and satisfaction, I am buoyed by visions of grandeur for the remainder of my productive life.

    Hi Christine, yes great video, thank you.
    I think most of us would admit to having a very similar situation in our own sewing areas.
    I feel that what happens when we get creative we pull things out of a stash and say, this would go with that, this would be a great lining etc etc before we know, it there's fabric everywhere. Then something takes us off on a tangent, we get distracted and then tidy up. That's when, what we started out gets put aside. I'm not saying it happens all the time.
    Some people are very organised, not me though.
    May be you should sort out one cubicle a month. Then soon you'll have a lot of empty space for a bit of reorganising perhaps - don't go filling it with 'stuff' though 😂😂

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  27 дней назад +4

      That's exactly what happens in my studio Jay. Once a month is a good idea, I may even be able to manage that, but I can't guarantee keeping the shelves empty 😀

    Loved this video, Christine! What a great inspiration and love seeing the "messy" cube go to empty and seeing all your great makes.
    I think it's a great idea to continue but maybe give yourself more then a week, if needed to get the makes finished. Once you all your cubbies organized, you can do a once a month cleaning and keep up with it.
    Hugs from Nevada.
    ❤ Cathy

Maybe you could do another at some point teaching us how to make a bag from any size fabric. I'm always trapped by the measurements given. It would be super helpful to just step by step show how to make any size pieces work into some bag or other. Just a thought for us pattern bound folks. Thank you!!!

      This one is very tidy compared to the mess I have at the shop and previous sewing rooms I've had😁
