My sewing room is pretty small, only 8 ft. by 10 ft., so I have had to make use of every available space. This outside wall is block so very hard to attach anything to it.
I solved the problem of wasted space by putting a large piece of pegboard in this spot.
I painted it to match my wall paint, attached it to the wood at the top of the wall and then had to decide how best to use the space.
I added a shelf, hooked some covered baskets to the bottom and side and even found a spot for the basket holder that has been sitting on a table in my way for some time.
I decorated these baskets a long time ago so I don't know if they are still available but I will show some close up pictures of how they are put together.
For the fabric on the lid, just cut a piece of cardboard the size of the middle of the lid and cover it with batting and fabric and glue it to the lid. The front of the lid has 1/4 inch ribbon glued at the sides and then woven through to the middle and tied in a bow.
Weave 1/2 inch wide ribbon through the basket sides. And the lid is tied to the basket in the back with three pieces of ribbon left a little bit loose so the lid will open and close and tied in a knot. These baskets are just hooked over a couple of peghooks under the basket lip.
To give you more ideas for using pegboard in the craft room here are some that I found on the internet. They make all kinds of tools for pegboard so the possibilities are endless for organization.
