    Update on garage sewing room decision...

    Thank you all for your input! I have decided that the cost of making a separate room in the garge (the way I want it) would be way too much. So as of now I am still sewing at the dinner table. All three bedrooms are in use by ourselves and children. We have a galley kitchen and the dinning room is where we eat. lol I think I might have hurt my 12 year olds feelings the other day talking out loud. I mentioned that when she goes to college at least I would have a sewing room. lol She looked horrified and informed me she is never moving out! lol

    Even though I am not the oldest, or the first to leave home, my bedroom was the one that was converted into a sewing room. I got over it... !
    The time will come when that sewing room will happen, till then keep collecting idea's.

    This just reminded me: my "bedroom" when I was a kid, had been a sewing room for the precious owner. No closet, but deep built in deep drawers in the wall (attic stairs behind the wall). Mom's machine went in there when I left!

    My mother had no problem making her feelings known .. I'm the youngest and the last to leave. She told my husband-to-be that once he takes me he can't bring me back cause she was going to fill my bedroom with cement.
    May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

    Too funny! At 12 she is horrified but at 18 she will be ready to fly the nest for University or college. Hard to belive only 6 more years isn't it?

    I'm sorry your dream room will not happen. Pls keep sewing/quilting. It will give you something of yourself.
    Sometimes you just have to sit in a chair and jog in order to get anywhere.

    I took a wall down between two of the kids rooms. Now when they come to visit (after a twenty hour drive), the first one in the door and up the stairs gets the one remaining spare room. The other gets a mattress on the floor.

    I had a sewing closet at one time and considered myself lucky, as I have heard many stories of the dining room table is the sewing room for some. Keep dreaming. It may happen. I dream of returning to Massachusetts some day. So far it is just a dream.

    Is there any way you can find a little space in your bedroom to put a desk and chair? I found that worked for me when we lived with 12 people in a double wide mobile home. I put storage bins under the bed and FQ in the dresser and the socks and undies went in the night stands. We were blessed with a walk in closet so I had several bins of fabric, my sewing machine and ironing board in there along with a bolt of batting.

    My "sewing room" is also at the dining room table. We eat on the sofa when the "sewing room" is in use... which is most of the time.
