This is something that’s been finished for awhile, I’ve just never gotten around to blogging it. It’s a wood working project I made with a great deal of assistance from my roommate who is a professional wood worker and cabinet maker. I started with two sheets of plywood and worked on it for about 4 hours a week for a couple months. I basically drew out the design that I wanted, and my roommate helped me to tweak the details so that it would come out to be a nice, durable cabinet. It’s perfect for my fabric and sewing storage and holds just about everything. And it looks gorgeous.
I keep my ironing essentials and serger thread on top of it, as well as some inspirations (the octopus box was painted by my boyfriend)
On the top shelf, I have labeled photo boxes to hold notions such as zippers, ribbon and elastic.
The cube shelves were inspired by some Target furniture. I wrapped my fabric around comic book boards from here. This was inspired by this Craftster post.
The bottom shelves have fabric drawers from Target that hold scraps, on-going projects, and felt.
I’ve been spinning like crazy this past week, and I will hopefully have some yarn to show off next week.
