REMODELING!

A little remodeling...creating a LARGE AND IN CHARGE ironing surface for pleating...take a look under your ironing board cover...these pics might make sense afterwards :)

Fabric Storage ideas...there will be 30 yards of fabric on these rolls...hoping the door frame can support that...fingers crossed

And let there be PLEATING...creating pleating boards to go on that mamajama size ironing board!

Stanley Pleating and Embroidery in New York, I love you, but I must be more cost efficient!
