"The first book I've seen that tackles the subject, from tiny cubby holes to complete workshops for multiple sewers. The emphasis is on home sewing solutions, with sample floor plans, photos of rooms that work, and dozens of useful suggestions and guidelines for storage, lighting, table heights, and general efficiency."--Threads Magazine. "Charts and other types of illustrations are clear...a good place to start for folks who can't find a needle in a haystack...or simply on the floor."--Booklist. 164 pages (4 in color), 107 b/w illus., 8 x 10.

From Booklist

A tendency--maybe occasional, maybe frequent--to misplace objects at home happens to us all. But when that sought-for item is as tiny as a sewing needle or as easily camouflaged as a spool of thread, it's time for sewers to at least ponder organizing their supplies and work space. Giesbrecht does an adequate job of, first, envisioning the various functions of the sewing area and drawing up plans to meet needs, and, second, explaining all the currently available permutations of organizers, from Peg-Board to ready-to-assemble cabinets. In many instances the photographs are grainy or yellowed, though the charts and other types of illustrations are clear. And, sometimes, the litany of brand names is a bit too commercial. But this is a good place to start for folks who can't find a needle in a haystack . . . or simply on the floor. Barbara Jacobs
