Unpacking The Sewing Room

引っ越しの荷ほどきを続けること2週間半。やっと私の部屋の荷物の荷ほどきができる日がやってきました。裁縫室兼、仕事場となる私の部屋は、なんと地下室。それも地下室の一番奥の部屋なので、小さな窓が一つあるだけで、とても暗いです。新しい電気買ってもらわないと暗くてやってられないわ。

I spent 2.5 weeks unpacking our stuff from the storage. It was a slow process with cleaning all the dust and grime off. But the day finally came to unpack my sewing room. What's the first thing to do? Pledge the hell out of furniture.

The next part was the hardest part: decide the orientation of the desks. I have two sets of nesting desks. I used to use 1 large desk for my sewing machine, another large desk for cutting, a small one for ironing, and another small one for my serger and a cover stitch machine (you can see my old sewing room here). But now this sewing room is also my office (I work from home), I need to use one of the large desks as my "desk." So it took me a while to re-think the layout.

The room is in the deepest part of the basement next to a storm shelter with just one tiny window, so unfortunately I won't have a very good natural light. Until I get a better light fixture, it's going to be all blurry dark photos.

There is a closet, but half of it is filled with MOTH's RC car collection.

For now, I just unpacked everything and shoved them in the book shelf or in boxes. The contents of the boxes are all mixed up but at least they are off the floor. It's going to take a while for me to sort all the little things and organize the whole thing a bit better before I can be in a mood to sew but this is a start.

Since I will be in this room for most of the day for work, I made a dog house next to my work desk out of a cardboard box (she has another one in the living room, too).
