Do you need a separate space for crafting?

 A craft and sewing room needs to be a separate space for several reasons.

• You need space to lay out patterns for cutting material.
• You don’t want to have to put up what you are working on every time you do the activity.
• It would be best if you had a place to store your supplies.
• You are more likely to do a craft or sewing if the supplies are easy to access.
• A dedicated space keeps the unfinished project’s cluttered appearance in one area.
• You will not lose supplies when shifting from one space to another.
• Safety reasons. Your designated space is as safe and organized as possible.

Hum,

• I have laid out sewing patterns (using a cutting board, pins, patterns, and tape measure) on my queen size bed. Have you ever rolled over and planted a straight pin into your flesh?
• Have you ever stepped barefooted onto a straight pin misplaced in your carpet?
• Has a child ever picked up hazardous (to them) materials when you were in a shared space?

Craft supplies can be dangerous for children and others—paint, chemicals, glues, components, finishes, tools, and etcetera.

Lockable drawers, an armoire, shelving with doors, a closet, a room—all with locks can create safe storage and work areas for your crafts and sewing room.

Things for safe storage can include the following items.

• Sturdy tables.
• Shelving.
• Drawers.
• Containers.
• Iron and ironing board secured.
• Extra ventilation if needed.
• Cutting supplies are secure.
• Master power switch.
• Lockable doors.

How you set up a craft space depends on the craft and the supplies needed.

Oh, I almost forgot. Setting up a designated organized space will help you save money.

How? You will be able to find what you need and will not be purchasing unnecessary duplicates!
