I haven't touched my sewing machine in ages. I did make a point of setting it up (in a corner of my laundry room, where I pass it several times a day.) Not to mention, I collect treadle sewing machines and at least four of them are on display throughout my home - all work very well and I used to use them. But my fabric is all packed up in bins. Many of the fabrics I've bought with no purpose in mind.. just because I love them (I adore 1930s repro prints and have always resisted cutting into them!) But anyway, just this past week I was thinking of a way to bring them out and make them part of my decor without being sewn so that I can admire them.. and maybe get the inspiration to sew again.

I find this with yarn and fiber as well. I'm more of a knitter and spinner than sewer the past few years.. and I long for a yarn storage system/area of shelves with glass doors that I can see through to admire all my precious wools.
