My Very Small sewing room
We moved from Maryland to Phoenix and into a smaller house. My sewing room is 8 x 8 with a good sized closet. We are renters so limited in what we wanted to do in the closet. Just a couple of shelves that will be easy to remove.
The Handiquilter lives in an alcove in the living room. I use the Ikea cart for all the pieces to the current project I am working on. Once it is done, then everything gets put away. I use to pile stuff everywhere and get frustrated finding things ALL the time.
My ironing surface is half a piece of plywood that sits on top of a garage sale dresser. This holds a huge amount of supplies. The cutting surface is a kitchen cart from target. The sewing table belonged to my Mom. I ruler fold my fabric.
I am a very prolific charity quilter and have lots of fabric donated to me. I am fairly tidy and clean up after every project. I do not sew well in a cluttered. After dealing with a bunch of UFOs I am pretty much a one project at a time gal. I also did too many free BOMs last year and finally finished them all up.
I love spending time in there and work as a part time nanny. That leaves me plenty of quilting time.

You look very well organized. Just be careful, you might want to make a heat resistant curtain to hang by a push rod inside your window if you get the direct hot summer sun beating down on you. It will feel like a furnace is outside your window. I bought some W&N Warm Window over a year and a half ago and it makes a difference.
