The renovations are over! It's time to sew up a storm! I uploaded pics awhile ago and here are the final ones of the sewing room. A peek through the door......

Hubby just finished the drawers in the end cabinets of the L-shaped countertop - lots of storage room now!

Instead of filling the holes where the screws went in, we decided to glue on some funky buttons.

What a wonderful room, may you have many happy sewing hours.

Looks like a great space. Now how long will it stay that neat??

I see five machines in the first picture! What is up with that? I'm glad you have space for all of them but can't imagine what all the bells and whistles are that you need them all. I sew on a 1936 Singer Featherweight and nothing else. ( I do have another in case I have to alter denim now and again - but it is a lonely pup.) Enjoy your new space. It looks great.

The machine on the far left is my new embroidery machine which has large hoops. You can hoop an entire jacketback in one hoop. Beside it is my embroidery machine that I've had for several years. I enjoy doing machine embroidery so need the machines for that purpose. I have a mega quilter which is great for piecing while the other machines are busy embroidering. I also have a serger which is great for embellishment, doing edges on napkins etc. I enjoy my embellisher machine for making my own felt for flowers, appliques on sweatshirts etc. I enjoy a variety of sewing projects so a straight stitch machine wouldn't be enough for my hobby.

Wow. I'm lucky to be able to handle a sewing/embroidery combo. However, I have thought it would be nice to have them separate because of needing more space etc. for the hoops. Love your sewing room. You've got everything that you need in an awsome space.

Thank you! I have the five showing plus two antique portables out on shelves for display (other side of room but not showing in pic). I also have two treadle machines which I'm going to have to sell as I have no room for them. I use all five of my machines and are able to try many different techniques and projects!

Thanks, Rose! It feels so good to finally be able to sew again! I mentioned to hubby that you were expecting him in PA soon but he said something about his hamster needing shampooing?

Nice room and collection of machines! I wish that HV hadn't stopped making the Mega Quilter, its fabulous for piecing and quilting. I work for HViking and get to use a variety of machines at the store.
